DAY ONE OF DUBAI WATCH WEEK
It’s day one of Dubai Watch Week 2025, and the T3 office is excited!
While this is the first time we’ve reported live on Dubai Watch Week 2025, our team of watch experts have had plenty of experience at other watch events, including the iconic Watches and Wonders 2025. Now we’re back for more, and we’re swapping the colder temperatures of Switzerland to the hotter climate of Dubai.
T3’s Home Editor and watch enthusiast, Beth – that’s me! – will be reporting live on all the latest launches and news from this year’s event. During the event, myself and Senior Staff Writer, Sam Cross, will be posting new stories and highlights from Dubai Watch Week 2025 so make sure to head over to the Watches section of the T3 website for more!
TAG Heuer uses lasers on its new split-second chronograph
TAG Heuer has unveiled the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 at Dubai Watch Week.
The new watch is the the first time TAG Heuer has used Selective Laser Melting on the titanium case to fuse different sections together.
Keeping its iconic Monaco square case, the dial of the Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 has two square subdials at three and nine o'clock, and a bold skeletonised dial. It has an industrial look with its use of black, silver and gold, and is powered by the Calibre TH81-00 movement.
Tudor Ranger gets new white dial and super small size
For Dubai Watch Week, Tudor has debuted six new Ranger watches, but it's the new white dial that we have our eyes on.
The Tudor Ranger now come with a a new white dial, called Dune White. It has black Arabic numerals and indexes and comes in 36mm and 39mm sizes, with the former being its smallest to date.
Other notable new Rangers from Tudor include a black dial version, plus you can choose a stylish striped fabric watch to compliment the new dial colour or case size.
Bremont surprises with Terra Nova Jumping Hour Aventurine
Bremont has seriously surprised me with its new Terra Nova Jumping Hour Aventurine.
This limited edition watch which has been unveiled exclusively at Dubai Watch Week looks like it's been plucked out of the night sky.
The bezel and case of the Terra Nova Jumping Hour Aventurine is made from grained 904L steel which is the first time Bremont has used this material. It gives a starry effect that matches perfectly with the dial's dark blue Aventurine glass.
I love the look of the Bremont Terra Nova Jumping Hour Aventurine and like the one simple hand and the oversized date dial. This watch is on my wishlist, but it's limited to just 50 pieces.
Armin Strom goes for rose gold with new One Week Skeleton
Armin Strom has fully skeletonised its One Week watch, and reinvented it in rose gold.
Well known for its architectural One Week timepiece, this new watch from Armin Strom is completely openworked to show off the intricate movement and mechanics.
Measuring 41mm, the Armin Strom One Week Skeleton Rose Gold has an 18K rose gold case, with rose gold featuring n the hands, indexes and more. Complete with a black strap, it's a captivating new watch that I'd love to get my hands on.
Biver's Oeil de Fer has caught my eye...
For Dubai Watch Week, Biver has unveiled nine Automatique watches, but my personal favourite is the Oeil de Fer.
Biver's Automatique models are available in many colours and dial patterns, including stunning blue and purples. But while I love brightly coloured designs, the Oeil de Fer stuns in brown, and it's my favourite from the collection.
Cased in 18K yellow gold, the Biver Oeil de Fer is rich in brown. The stone is layered so it looks like a dark night sky over a sunset.
Tiger's Eye dials with Gerald Charles
I'm a sucker for gemstones on watches, and this new watch from Gerald Charles has just made me love them more.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, and long-time collaborator, Ahmed Seddiqi's 75th anniversary, Gerald Charles has debuted the Maestro Tiger's Eye. Available in two variants, the Maestro Tiger's Eye has a stunning tiger's eye as the dial and a matching brown case and strap.
The tourbillon edition of the Maestro Tiger's Eye is the more elaborate of the two, and it's limited to just three pieces!
Celebrate 50 years of the Laureato with Girard-Perregaux
Girard-Perregaux sure knows how to celebrate! At Dubai Watch Week and for the 50th anniversary of its Laureato watch, Girard-Perregaux has debuted the new Laureato Three Gold Bridges, limited to just 50 pieces.
Measuring 41mm, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Three Gold Bridges keeps key features of the original Laureato and brings it into the modern age. The watch has the new in-house calibre GP9620 movement, and is crafted from white gold.
The octagonal bezel within the case adds an extra layer of geometry, alongside the open-worked dial and diamond accents. It's a true masterpiece.
Louis Vuitton has me seeing green
If you've been following my watch stories on T3 for a while, then you'll know that I have a bit of a thing for green dials. I don't know why, but it's been my favourite colour trend of 2025, and this Louis Vuitton Escale watch has me seeing green.
The Louis Vuitton Escale is available in two dial options, turquoise or malachite. The latter is my favourite, and the bold striped green balances the platinum bezel, case, crown and caseback perfectly.
Measuring 44mm, the Louis Vuitton Escale is a pretty big watch, but when it looks that good, the bigger the better right?! It's limited to just 30 pieces.
Zenith's lapis lazuli dial hides a fun secret
Zenith is celebrating its 160th anniversary this year, and as part of its celebrations, the brand has just unveiled the Defy Extreme Lapis Lazuli.
The Zenith Defy Extreme Lapis Lazuli has a stunning blue colour, and uses lapis lazuli gemstones to make up four chronograph subdials. The subdials show 60 seconds, running seconds and 30 minute timers, all of which have skeletonised gold hands.
The 'secret' is the central seconds hand which turns once per second. This isn't a 'new' thing for Zenith as it's a fan of fast-moving seconds hands, but this is much faster and more impressive.
If you love a tourbillon, you'll like this new Daniel Roth
I love a tourbillon movement, and it turns out that Daniel Roth does too! In celebration of its favourite complication, Daniel Roth has debuted the Tourbillon Platinum.
Completing its Tourbillon collection, the Daniel Roth Tourbillon Platinum has a grey anthracite dial and a platinum case. It features Roman numerals, a prominent tourbillon at six o'clock and an elaborate seconds counter.
Ulysse Nardin and Urwerk team up for another Freak
Ulysse Nardin and Urwerk have teamed up on the new UR-Freak watch.
Keeping Ulysse Nardin's iconic Freak design, the skeletonised dial rotates the movement to tell the time, and has a rocket ship-looking design.
Urwerk has added an Hour Satellite that rotates the hour markers every three hours, and there's a minute track from 0-60 on the right side of the dial.
The watch comes with bright yellow accents, including the arrows on the dial and the accompanying rubber strap. Freaky!
This Vanguart Black Hole watch has me in a spiral
Vanguart is a watch manufacturer that I'm not the most familiar with, but I definitely will be watching them more after seeing its new Black Hole watch.
The 2025 version of the Vanguart Black Hole comes in rose gold and has an intricate dial that swirls in circles to a central point. It looks like a spiral, and while I'm not completely sure how you tell the time on it, it's definitely a timepiece that I'd love to wear.
Bulgari and Mattar Bin Lahej wow at Dubai Watch Week
Bulgari joins Dubai Watch Week with a new limited edition Octo Finissimo, in collaboration with Mattar Bin Lahej, an Emirati artist.
The Bulgari Octo Finissimo x Mattar Bin Lahej is limited to just 70 pieces, and measures 40mm. At 5mm thick, the watch is powered by the ultra-thin BVL 138 movement, so it's impressively slim alongside its overall design.
The design of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo x Mattar Bin Lahej is the true star of the show. The case, dial and bracelet is covered with Arabic calligraphy. The dial has skeletonised hours and minute hands, as well as a smaller seconds hand on the bottom left.
Laurent Ferrier has surprised me with this Classic Origin Beige
Laurent Ferrier has just debuted the Classic Origin Beige, and it's seriously surprised me.
Let's face it, the word 'beige' doesn't really bring on feelings of excitement. But the Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin Beige shows that beige shouldn't have such a bad reputation after all.
The dial of the Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin Beige is simple, with its beige colour, subdial at six o'clock and dainty hour and minute hands. What makes it standout is the 18k 5N red gold on the case and crown.
It's also powered by the LF116.01 movement which you can seen via the caseback.
Bell & Ross wows with new tourbillon
I've never been convinced by square watch cases but brands like TAG Heuer and Bell & Ross have definitely changed my mind.
Speaking of the latter, Bell & Ross has debuted the BR-X3 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor, its new square, skeletonised watch made from steel and sapphire.
Powered by the BR-CAL.389 movement which you can see on the dial, the BR-X3 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor puts the flying tourbillon front and centre. A small circle dial is just off-centre which is where you tell the time.
This is my favourite Roger Dubuis yet
Roger Dubuis is paying tribute to its founder with the "Sukoon Al-Layl" Perpetual Calendar 38mm, and it might be my favourite watch from the brand to date.
The Roger Dubuis "Sukoon Al-Layl" Perpetual Calendar 38mm is made from platinum and has mother-of-pearl on the dial.
The dial is packed full of astronomical complications, including calendar windows and a moonphase which has gold and blue aventurine for the twin moons and night sky.
Powered by the RD1472 movement, the Roger Dubuis "Sukoon Al-Layl" Perpetual Calendar 38mm features Arabic numbers and is finished with a leather strap. I love it!
Look – a Hermès seahorse!
I'm always excited to see what Hermès has in store, and for Dubai Watch Week, we have the Slim d’Hermès Hippocampe.
Available in red or blue, the Slim d’Hermès Hippocampe features a stunningly intricate seahorse. Powered by the manufacture Hermès H1950 movement, the watch measures 39.5mm and has a power reserve of 48 hours.
I'm obssessed with Hublot's new Ahmed Seddiqi watches
Hublot is celebrating its Big Bang 20th anniversary, and Ahmed Seddiqi's 75th anniversary with two new exciting watches.
Available in all black or titanium grey, the watches have checkerboard dials with Arabic numerals. The titanium grey is probably my favourite, with its gold screws on the case and asymmetrical subdials.
The all black version is pretty cool too, and looks dark and dramatic. I'll take both!
Oris visits the desert with new ProPilot Date
Oris is visiting the desert with its newest ProPilot Date.
Measuring 41mm, the Oris ProPilot Date Desert Edition has a stainless steel case and is made from multi-piece carbon fibre. The dial has a sandy texture and colour, with a date window at six o'clock.
The minute track around the dial has a subtle angular shape which gives the watch more shape. The bezel also has diagonal lines running around it, and a prominent crown on the right side.
Favre Leuba's Deep Raider Renaiassance looks like something from space
Favre Leuba has debuted two new versions of its Deep Raider Renaissance watch, and it looks like something from space.
A key trend I've been noticing this Dubai Watch Week is gemstone watches. Brands like Zenith, Gerald Charles and now Favre Leuba are all using them as the focus on their dials.
Favre Leuba has picked two gemstones for its Deep Raider Renaissance – malachite and meteorite. The latter – the Deep Raider Renaissance Meteorite – is my favourite with its dramatic silver scratched surface that looks like it struck Earth.
Gérald Genta joins the meteorite club
As I mentioned in my last update, gemstone dials seem to be a big trend this Dubai Watch Week, and Gérald Genta is no exception.
Gérald Genta has just expanded its Gentissima Oursin collection with two new models featuring a choice of blue or green meteorite dials. Measuring 41mm, the gems used as the dial have subtle shapes and angles, making the circular dial look almost hexagonal.
Aside from the gem, the dials are simple with circle hour markers and hour and minute hands. My favourite feature of the watches is the bubble-like cases, a signature trademark that Gérald Genta is best known for.
Doxa's SUB 300 Beta Ceramic comes in cherry red
Doxa has just unveiled a special edition SUB 300 Beta Ceramic, and I'm obsessed with the colour.
Measuring 42.5mm, the Doxa SUB 300 Beta Ceramic has a matte black and cherry red two-tone ceramic case, with a bright red dial to match. It's a pretty oversized watch with its prominent bezel and case that almost looks like it's flaring out the back.
The Doxa SUB 300 Beta Ceramic is limited to just 11 pieces and is exclusively at Ahmed Seddiqi boutiques, so it's unlikely you'll get your hands on one, unless you're at Dubai Watch Week.
Arnold & Son pays a touching tribute
Arnold & Son has debuted the platinum edition of its Constant Force Tourbillon 11.
Aside from paying tribute to its Cornish origins with its solid gold dial which is inspired by the ferns, waves and moors of Cornwall, it's also a homage to the friendship between John Arnold and Abraham-Louis Breguet.
When you flip the watch over, the caseback shows off the A&S5219 calibre movement and has an inscription on the barrel bridge. It says “To the revered memory of John Arnold and Abraham-Louis Breguet. Friends in their time, legendary watchmakers always”.
Raúl Tena dives for pearls with its new watch
Raúl Tena is a watch manufacturer that I'm not the most familiar with, but its Dubai Watch Week launch has me seriously impressed.
The Pearl Diver is exactly what you're imagining. The 3D dial has a hand-engraved gold sculpture of a man diving for a pearl. Made from enamel, the dial looks like a miniature painting and a steel minute ring loops around it with Eastern Arabic numerals.
The Raúl Tena The Pearl Diver is definitely a showstopper.
Gerald Charles celebrates milestone with diamonds
Gerald Charles is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the new Maestro GC39 Remaster Diamond Baguettes.
The new watch features a beautiful lapis lazuli centre, with an oversized hand, jumping hours complication and a rotating hour disc.
The case of the Maestro GC39 Remaster Diamond Baguettes is a combination of angular and circular lines, giving it a fun architectural look. The stars of the show are the 60 baguette-cut diamonds that are set in the bezel.
H. Moser & Cie. gives us another meteorite!
Meteorites seems to be the theme for today, and for Dubai Watch Week as well. The latest watch I've found that features a meteorite is the H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite.
The dial of the H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite is actually from the Gibeon meteorite, giving the watch a rock-like look and pattern. The 40mm case case is made of steel, and the dial has a moonphase complication at six o'clock.
