The New Patek Philippe Twenty~4 7340/1R Perpetual Calendar

Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 collection was Patek Philippe’s first dedicated line of feminine timepieces. The original model featured an Art Deco-inspired manchette (cuff) design, but in 2018, the brand unveiled the Twenty~4 Automatic, which is a round-cased iteration powered by an automatic movement. This year, Patek Philippe elevates the collection further by introducing a perpetual calendar complication, marking the collection's debut in the realm of Grand Complications.
Crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, the watch features a 36mm case with a slender profile of just 9.95mm, making it sit gracefully on the wrist. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Two dial options are available. The Ref. 7340/1R-001 features a silvery opaline dial with a vertical satin finish, evoking the texture of shantung silk that feature irregular texture, while the Ref. 7340/1R-010 presents an olive green sunburst dial for a more contemporary appeal.

Introducing The Oris Divers Sixty-Five Calibre 400 Now in 38mm

A new, elegant size for the indie brand's iconic diver's watch

Oris began crafting watches in 1904 in Hölstein, Switzerland, where it continues to be headquartered today. In 1965, the brand launched its first purpose-built dive watch, the Oris Waterproof, targeting the growing community of divers. Although it never achieved the enduring market success of some of its contemporaries, this pioneering dive watch laid the foundation for future Oris dive watch collections. In 2015, Oris reintroduced the iconic model that started it all, and named it Divers Sixty-Five.

The Divers Sixty-Five collection rapidly gained popularity, showcasing various case sizes and materials. Now, for the first time, the Divers Sixty-Five Calibre 400 is available in a 38mm case without a date window, featuring the brand's five-day power reserve automatic movement.

The stainless steel case features a bidirectional rotating sandblasted steel bezel with raised numerals and markers, as well as an inverted triangle with a luminous pip at 12 o’clock. The watch is equipped with a double-domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a sapphire crystal caseback. Additionally, it has a screw-in crown and offers water resistance up to 100 meters.

The green dial features a simple time-only display with applied indices and hands coated in white Super-LumiNova, along with a lollipop seconds hand. The watch is powered by the brand’s Calibre 400, introduced in 2020—an automatic movement with two barrels providing a 120-hour power reserve (5 days), operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz).

The new 38mm Divers Sixty-Five Calibre 400 comes equipped with a 3-link stainless steel bracelet featuring a folding clasp, priced at USD 3,900, equivalent to AED 14,400.
