Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Self-Winding Limited Edition

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Patrimony collection, Vacheron Constantin unveils a stunning self-winding limited edition, created in collaboration with French designer Ora ïto. This vintage-style timepiece features a 40 mm yellow gold case framing a tone-on-tone gold dial adorned with concentric circles, reminiscent of the 1950s aesthetic. The intricate design is combined with a calfskin leather strap showcasing 1970s-inspired graphic motifs. Limited to 100 pieces, this watch embodies a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern flair, making it a true collector's item.

Oris Aquis Date Upcycle

Oris, in turn, introduced two new models that focus on sustainability, proving that luxury can be eco-conscious. The first release, Oris Aquis Date Upcycle, features a vibrant dial crafted from recycled PET plastic, with each Upcycle model boasting a unique design, making it a one-of-a-kind piece in your collection.

Oris Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition IV

Another launch built on this eco-friendly ethos, the Oris Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition IV, continues the brand's commitment to making a positive impact. This watch, limited to 2000 pieces, is more than a stylish accessory: it is part of Oris’s ongoing partnership with the Reef Restoration Foundation aimed at preserving the world’s largest reef system — the Australian Great Barrier Reef.

This striking timepiece, powered by a high-performance five-day automatic Calibre 400, features a 43.5 mm stainless steel case and a stunning blue dial inspired by the ocean’s vibrant hues.

Mido Ocean Star 39

Another contender in the underwater category, the Mido Ocean Star 39, celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Ocean Star collection. This sporty yet slim tribute to the sea is perfect for both divers and style seekers alike. The 39 mm stainless steel watch with a bold blue dial can handle depths of up to 200 meters, making it an ideal companion for underwater adventures while staying one of the thinnest in its category, which works perfectly for a seamless transition from the beach to the evening outing.

Speake Marin Ripples Skeleton

The latest Speake-Marin timepiece, The Ripples Skeleton, is a true work of art that blends bold design with intricate craftsmanship. This striking model features a 40.3 mm case that showcases a stunning openwork dial, allowing you to admire the complexity of the movement within, powered by skeleton self-winding calibre SMA07.
