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 Expanding Omega’s New Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date Collection

Adding an elegant green reference in titanium and bronze gold case

Following the recent release of Omega’s Seamaster Diver 300M No Date collection, the brand has unveiled an exciting new edition, crafted in Grade 2 Titanium and Bronze Gold. This fresh release follows the stainless steel models introduced earlier, which gained significant attention when Omega ambassador and former James Bond star, Daniel Craig, was spotted wearing the black version.

The standout feature of this model is its case, crafted from Grade 2 Titanium, a material prized for its remarkable combination of lightweight strength and corrosion resistance. Its durable nature, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, makes it a popular choice in the aerospace industry. Omega’s exclusive Bronze Gold alloy is used for the bezel, crown, and helium escape valve. The alloy is a blend of gold, palladium, and silver, designed to retain its natural patina over time without turning green due to layer oxidation.

Measuring 42mm in diameter and 13.8mm in thickness, the case exudes a robust yet refined appeal, enhanced by a vintage-inspired domed sapphire crystal. The screw-in crown, helium valve, and screwed sapphire caseback ensure the watch's impressive water resistance up to 300 meters, making it an ideal companion for adventure.

The bezel and dial of the watch are both crafted from green aluminium, while the hands feature a PVD bronze gold coating and blackened indexes filled with vintage Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility. Powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, the movement is certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) and operates at a frequency of 25,200 vph (3.5Hz), offering an impressive 55 hours of power reserve.

The watch is available with a Grade 2 titanium mesh bracelet priced at CHF 10,200, approximately AED 42,500, or a green rubber strap for CHF 9,400, approximately AED 39,200.
