The Qatari Brand Opens a New Chapter for This Iconic Design
Beda'a was born from the vision of Qatari entrepreneur Hader Al Suwaidi, who aimed to establish a horological brand that positions the Arab region not just as a market for fine watches but as a contributor to the global watchmaking industry. Serendipity played a role in turning this vision into reality with the recruitment of engineer-designer Sohaib Maghnam, who helped shape the brand's trajectory.
Last year, Beda'a embarked on a new strategic journey by launching a refreshed identity, starting with three stunning timepieces. Among this trio was the Eclipse, a unique design that gained significant recognition by earning a nomination from the GPHG jury in the “Petite Aiguille” category. Building on this success, Beda'a has now unveiled the Eclipse II, a new creation that retains the essence of its predecessor while offering an evolved design.
Eclipse stands as the most elemental of Beda'a's creations, being the only round watch in the brand's portfolio. It is also the most ambitious, as it ventures into the fiercely competitive realm of fine Swiss-made watchmaking. Yet, it succeeds in capturing two key elements that hold compelling appeal for true collectors: an unconventional hours-and-minutes display and a price that remains uncompromisingly fair.
The case, crafted from 904L stainless steel, measures 37mm in diameter and 9.55mm in height, presenting a sleek and robust design. The crown is positioned at 12 o'clock, while the case finishing features a mix of polished surfaces on the bezel and lugs and brushed case bands. Its sapphire crystal case back reveals the intricate inner workings of the Swiss movement within. With a water resistance of 30 meters, the watch is designed to fit all wrist sizes.
The dial of the Beda'a Eclipse II stands as a testament to artistic ingenuity, blending celestial inspiration with bold design elements. Its off-center jumping hours and minutes at twelve sit on an aventurine base, evoking a star-strewn night sky. Accompanied by an independent small seconds display at six o’clock, the spear-shaped small seconds hand gracefully sweeps over a circular satin-finished counter, reminiscent of Qatar’s windswept desert sands. This harmonious alignment of textures and symbolism underscores Beda'a's dedication to purity and innovation.
The Eclipse II movement combines two crucial variables to achieve the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, accessibility and exclusivity. At its core is the Sellita SW300, a proven caliber well-known to Beda'a, having been present in the original Eclipse. This Swiss automatic movement beats at 28,800 vph and offers a power reserve of 52 hours.
For this second chapter, Beda'a has added a module developed in collaboration with the specialist workshop Dubois Depraz. This partnership enabled Beda'a to design the Eclipse II with a perfectly balanced 37mm diameter and a slim profile under 10mm (precisely 9.5mm).
The Eclipse II comes with an alligator or ostrich leather strap, offered with a matching pin buckle. Its production is limited to 100 pieces per year. Price started from from 4,000 ِCHF.
