The dial is the reason I’d shortlist this Aston Martin Navitimer—not the limited-edition inscription. The carbon-fibre texture and green-and-lime accents give reference EB01381A1B1X1 an unmistakably racing-led look. I’d choose it for someone who wants that busy, technical character on the wrist. If the attraction is only the possibility of selling it for more, I’d pass.…

I’d choose the 2026 Carrera Seafarer for the tide display and the teal-and-yellow dial—not because I need a luxury watch to plan a safe day at sea. The 42mm steel CBS2016.EB0430 uses TAG Heuer’s TH20-04 automatic movement. The UAE brand page displays AED 36,500 and “out of stock online”, checked on 19 October 2026. I…

I love the decision to let the calligraphy take over the whole watch. On the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo x Mattar Bin Lahej, the dial is not a little commemorative plaque surrounded by an otherwise ordinary case. The lettering runs across the case and bracelet too. That is what makes this collaboration exciting to me: the…

Titanium Grey is my pick of Hublot’s Big Bang Seddiqi 75th Anniversary pair. The grey dial and warm-toned numerals let the geometric pattern do its work without burying everything in black. All Black is the more uncompromising design, but I would choose it for that monochrome statement—not simply because ten pieces sounds more desirable than…

Part of our complete guide to Fashion in the UAE. The next Dubai Watch Week is scheduled for 17–21 November 2027 at Dubai Mall, Burj Park. The organiser has announced those dates on its official channels. There is no separate 2026 edition: Dubai Watch Week is biennial. The seventh edition took place on 19–23 November…

The blue sodalite Code 11.59 flying tourbillon is my design pick from this selection. The irregular pale veins give the blue dial something worth looking at beyond the mechanism, and the pink-gold case makes the colour feel warmer. For a calendar rather than that visual spectacle, I would compare the 38 mm perpetuals instead. These…

Rolex collectors are known for their passion and precision. From subtle variations to rare anomalies, every detail can command major value—and spark lively debate. But beyond the reference numbers and market valuations lies one of the most entertaining elements of the Rolex universe: the nicknames. While none are officially sanctioned by Rolex itself, these creative…

The Rolex Land-Dweller is a real collection, unveiled in 2025, not an unconfirmed 2026 rumour. Its distinguishing features are the Flat Jubilee bracelet, honeycomb dial and calibre 7135 with a 5 Hz regulating system. Our view is that the movement makes this a more substantial launch than a new dial colour. For a buyer, though,…

The bronze-flecked case is what makes this Royal Oak Concept work for me. Against the black bezel and open dial, it has real presence without needing a bright strap. But the 2025 Middle East Flying Tourbillon is a particular watch, not a specification shared by every carbon Concept. I’d start with the movement and dimensions…

Rolex is, without question, the most influential and recognisable watchmaker in the world. The Crown produces the market’s most iconic timepieces, setting trends that the entire industry inevitably follows. Ranking the top ten Rolex watches might seem a daunting task. After all, how can you choose a definitive winner when the brand has consistently delivered…

My verdict: the engineering earns the attention The KAWS x Audemars Piguet watch is the Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon Companion, reference 26656TI.GG.D019VE.01, released in 2024 in an edition of 250. I like it because the figure changes how the watch works visually: the time display moves around the edge instead of cutting across the character.…
