Bvlgari & MB&F Reimagine the Iconic Serpenti

Collaborations in watchmaking often bring together the creativity of a brand and its chosen partner, whether they be artists, athletes, or designers. However, it’s far rarer to see two well-known watchmaking powerhouses join forces. The partnership between Bvlgari and MB&F is a fascinating case, as both brands serve as creative forces in the industry with anything they put their hands on. 

Their latest collaboration, the Bvlgari x MB&F Serpenti, follows their 2021 partnership, which resulted in the MB&F x Bvlgari LM FlyingT Allegra launched at Dubai Watch Week. This time, the two brands reinterpret Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti through the mechanical artistry of MB&F’s horological machines, merging biomorphic design with high-complication watchmaking in a way that only they can.

Introducing Omega Unveils The New Seamaster Diver 300M in Bronze Gold & Burgundy

A new addition to the iconic Seamaster with bold and elegant hues

Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300M has long been an icon in the world of professional diving watches, renowned for its classic style and durability. In 2020, the No Time to Die edition, worn by James Bond (Daniel Craig) in his ninth film with Omega, introduced a no-date layout and vintage aesthetics that quickly won over enthusiasts. More recently, Craig was spotted wearing the black version during the 2024 Paris Olympics. This model was part of a launch that included four stunning new references in steel, followed by a titanium and Bronze Gold version with green accents. Now, the collection welcomes another addition, crafted entirely in Bronze Gold and paired with a striking burgundy bezel.

The new Seamaster features a case made of Bronze Gold, Omega’s proprietary alloy combining bronze with 37.5% gold, palladium, and silver. This blend not only enhances the metal’s resistance to corrosion but also prevents the verdigris oxidation common in traditional bronze.

The case measures 42mm in diameter and 13.8mm in thickness. Surrounding the domed sapphire crystal is a burgundy anodized aluminum bezel insert, complete with a vintage-inspired Super-LumiNova 60-minute diving scale. A helium escape valve and a screw-down sapphire caseback ensure the watch is water-resistant to 300 meters.

The matte black dial is made from sandblasted aluminum and features PVD-coated hands in Bronze Gold, while the blackened indices are filled with vintage-toned Super-LumiNova. The dial also has light brown printed text and markers, adding a classic touch.

Powering the watch is the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, an automatic movement that runs at 25,200 vph (3.5Hz) and offers a 55-hour power reserve. As a METAS-certified movement, it delivers exceptional precision and high magnetic resistance, up to 15,000 gauss.

The Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold Burgundy is available in two variations: a black rubber strap with a Bronze Gold pin buckle (CHF 12,200 equivalent to AED 55,600) and a Bronze Gold mesh bracelet with a folding clasp (CHF 24,500 equivalent to AED 111,700).
