Classic colours such as silver, black and blue convey a classic and refined aesthetics. However, when this line embraces trendy shades such as ice blue or green mint, it exudes a more fashionable appeal. When the dial is embellished with aventurine, a semi-precious stone renowned for its sparkling appearance which evokes a starry sky, a touch of preciousness is added to the overall look.

The latest addition to the Weekend collection is a special edition of just 99 pieces of the time-and-date model, designed especially for the Middle East and celebrating the charm of the Arabian desert. And the dial in the warm hue of desert sand, animated by dunes, is the undisputed standout feature of the new Weekend Sand Dunes.
The dial: aesthetics in motion
The highlight of the new Weekend Sand Dunes is undoubtedly the dial, which portrays the breathtaking scenery of the Arabian Desert. Covering an area of 2,330,000 square kilometres (900,000 square miles), the Arabian Desert occupies almost the entire Arabian Peninsula, stretching from Yemen to the Persian Gulf, and from Oman to Jordan and Iraq. It is the fourth-largest desert in the world and the largest in Asia.

The desert landscape, a symbol of unspoilt nature, has been the inspiration for the display, which was created by experienced designers and craftsmen from the Bienne-based Maison. Here, golden sand dunes, sculpted by the wind, extend towards the endless horizon. The embossed dunes in Pantone colour 727C — a faded light brown that turns to salmon pink — add dynamism and depth to this timepiece.

The exquisite execution of this intricate pattern endows the Weekend Sand Dunes with a sophisticated and elegant appearance, making it a standout piece in the collection.In keeping with the Arabian theme, the silvered applied hour indices, minutes flange and date in the window at 3 o'clock are displayed in Arabic. As always, Super-LumiNova®-coated hands ensure the time can be read clearly in low-light conditions, making the watch a useful tool for those who need to keep track of the time in these situations.
The case: the pinnacle of an essential design
Weekend Sand Dunes features a round stainless-steel case, the shape most commonly used in watchmaking and one of the most popular with the public, with a diameter of 39 mm and a slim thickness of 9.56 mm. It is characterised by a seamless blend of polished and satin-finished surfaces, creating a refined and sophisticated style. Its dimensions are ideally suited to a timepiece with a timeless, classic appeal.

The case back is also embellished with a tampography depicting the dunes of the desert, created using an overlay of black and salmon pink in the Pantone 727C shade.
In addition to this depiction, the case back is stamped with the limited number 01 of 99, the inscription “Middle East Limited Edition” and the model reference.
