 Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale A Swiss chronograph, an Italian story

Designed for Italy and developed in collaboration with a select group of Italian retailers, the Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale reinterprets the blue of Italian authority in a limited edition that combines classical elegance with technical sophistication.

The Blu Ministeriale is more than a simple colour variation of the Angelus Chronographe Télémètre; it is a concept in its own right, one in which colour becomes a common thread linking the watch, its origins and watchmaking culture.

Italian at heart

Angelus chose Blu Ministeriale as the central theme of a project conceived for Italy with Italy: a select group of retailers, limited distribution, a distinctive visual profile and an aesthetic defined by restraint, elegance and a strong sense of ceremony.

This limited edition is the embodiment of an identity, a territory and a narrative: the visible expression of a dialogue between Swiss watchmaking expertise and Italian sensibility.

Blu Ministeriale: Italy’s official blue

Blu Ministeriale holds a special place in the Italian imagination. Deep, rich and restrained, this shade of blue recalls official vehicles and, more broadly, a whole world associated with Italy’s public institutions. Neither black, nor grey, nor ostentatious, it embodies a refined discretion that is immediately recognisable.

Some colours transcend fashion and express an attitude, a status and a culture. Blu Ministeriale is one such colour. Understated and confident without being austere, it evokes light leather interiors, gold detailing, official silhouettes and a distinctive sense of formal Italian elegance. It is neither a sporting blue, nor a nautical blue, nor the electric blue of the 1970s, but a shade intended to convey enduring presence and stature.

An idea, a chronograph, a story

Applied to the chronograph dial, this shade of blue goes beyond simple aesthetics, becoming an expression of Italian style, culture and heritage.

This distinctive hue gave rise to a special edition of the Angelus monopusher chronograph: ten pieces in yellow gold and twenty in steel, developed for the Italian market and available exclusively through four selected retail partners: Verga 1947 in Milan, Montres & Bijoux in Genoa, Camparini Gioielli in Reggio Emilia et P. Bastiani in Trieste. The project highlights the role of these family-owned retailers, which have become true points of reference for collectors over the years.

The Blu Ministeriale on the dial is intense and deep. It shifts with the light without ever becoming too bright, retaining a strong but perfectly controlled presence. The grained surface adds texture and depth, while the satin-finished flange introduces a subtle contrast. The gilded numerals and hour markers contribute warmth and elegance. Used sparingly, the touches of red bring a graphic yet refined accent.

The technical foundations

With its 37 mm diameter, compact yet assertive presence on the wrist, and chronograph pusher integrated into the crown, the Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale follows directly in the footsteps of the Chronographe Télémètre, winner of the Chronograph Prize at the 2025 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

It is powered by the A5000 calibre, an integrated manual-winding chronograph movement manufactured by Angelus. Featuring a column wheel and horizontal clutch, it is equipped with a small seconds display at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 42-hour power reserve.

The timepiece’s architecture underlines Angelus’s technical savoir-faire and its commitment to the great tradition of the classic chronograph.

A discreet celebration of excellence

Angelus and its partners have chosen to limitt his edition of Blu Ministeriale to 10 pieces in 18-carat gold (3N) and 20 in stainless steel. The case back is engraved with “Uno di Dieci” or “Uno di Venti”, emphasising the decidedly exclusive nature of each watch.

Some pieces include the signature of one of our four partners on the dial in a subtle tribute to a 20th-century watchmaking tradition that saw leading retailers add their name to watches that would later become horological icons.

The Cronografo Telemetro Blu Ministeriale embodies a sophisticated dialogue between Switzerland and Italy, where Swiss watchmaking expertise meets Italian refinement. The result is a chronograph with balanced proportions and a confident presence, whose restraint accentuates the richness of its details. A watch that reveals itself over time under the gaze and sensibility of its owner.

This creation evokes a distinctly Italian perception of elegance and visual heritage through a colour of conviction, precise and self-assured.

OMEGA – Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light

 

OMEGASeamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light 2026  

 007 FIRST LIGHT

OMEGA continues its legacy in the world of James Bond by unveiling a new timepiece that appears in the action-adventure game, 007 First Light. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Designed in collaboration with the game's creators, IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios, OMEGA's new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light, allows 007 fans to play and dress as the iconic spy.

About the Game

The 007 First Light Video Game is officially launching worldwide on May 27th, 2026.

 

Developed by IO Interactive (the creators of the Hitman series) in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, the game features a compelling original standalone story of a 26-year-old James Bond, diving into the character's reimagined origin story with a fresh take on the franchise.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

An OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph appears at the heart of the missions, fitted with a hacking device capable of disrupting electronic equipment as well as a powerful laser strap, making it an essential tool for players as they earn their 007 status. Now, OMEGA has brought the timepiece into reality, welcoming the design into its core James Bond watch collection

Creating the Watch

The new creation marks the first-ever chronograph in James Bond's Seamaster Diver 300M history. This is to match the watch's appearance in the game, where the subdials have a functional role during play.

Sized at 44 mm and crafted in stainless steel, the watch includes a polished black ceramic bezel ring with a white enamel diving scale - and is especially notable for the pushers in polished black ceramic.

The black ceramic dial appears with the Diver's essential laser-engraved waves and is distinguished by a subdial ring at 3 o'clock that is finished in PVD bronze gold.

The same PVD bronze gold material is used for the central chronograph seconds hand, while all other hands and indexes are rhodium-plated and filled with white Super-LumiNova.

The Seamaster name appears in red and there is a date window at 6 o'clock.

NATO Strap Choices

Around the wrist, this Diver 300M also introduces an exclusive new NATO Strap inspired by the visual universe and design elements of the game. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The striped design features a black, grey, and beige colourway – the same as the OMEGA watch worn in the film, No Time to Die – however it is given a different pattern and is complemented by a special Seamaster buckle as well as 007 and First Light engravings on the keepers.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Alternatively, wearers can choose from six other NATO Strap choices, available separately within OMEGA's accessories collection. These are each modelled after the different strap versions that are playable within the game.

Movement and Presentation

The watch is driven by the self-winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900, with a small-seconds display at 9 o'clock, and a 60-minute and 12-hour recorder at 3 o'clock.

Offering OMEGA's highest standard of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance, the movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback, which also includes a 007 First Light logo, crafted in black metallization on the underside of the glass.

Each timepiece is delivered inside a special presentation box - inspired by the suitcase that carries the OMEGA watches within the game.

Rudis Sylva – RS11 Harmonious Oscillator Tourbillon 20th Anniversary

 

Rudis SylvaRS11 Harmonious Oscillator Titanium and Gold Tourbillon 20th Anniversary 2026

 A radical expression of time by Rudis Sylva

To mark its 20th anniversary, Rudis Sylva is unveiling the RS11, a creation that is both a statement and a culmination. Conceived as a synthesis of two decades of research and mastery, it embodies a singular vision of watchmaking in which aesthetic power and mechanical rigour are held in precise balance. Available in titanium and pink gold, its volumes, materials and architecture combine to create a bold design language in which manual skill and technology engage in an intense dialogue, whilst retaining a deep respect for the Maison’s Jura roots. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Since 2006, under the leadership of Jacky Epitaux, Rudis Sylva has developed an independent and committed approach to Haute Horlogerie. Rooted in the Swiss Jura, the Maison continues the tradition of the farmer-watchmakers, whose craft, standards and close connection to the land it perpetuates.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Each creation takes shape within a unique local ecosystem, where artisans with rare expertise work within a 20-kilometre radius, ensuring proximity, consistency and complete control over every stage. Guilloché work, engraving, enamelling, bevelling: all carried out by hand, respecting tradition and with an assured creative freedom.

At the heart of its identity, the patented and unprecedented Harmonious Oscillator reworks the principles of regulation, delivering remarkable stability and precision. More than a mere innovation, it embodies a desire to develop the watchmaking art without ever forsaking its roots. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

 Its principle runs counter to the very foundations of classical theory. Here, any load applied to the balance had traditionally been prohibited, but Rudis Sylva developed a novel system: two complete toothed balance wheels, mechanically linked and driven by a single escapement. A bold design, which connoisseurs associated with the innovative spirit of the tourbillon. Unveiled in Basel in 2009, this breakthrough immediately attracted the attention of the industry’s leading figures. Independent master watchmakers, established brands and technical development specialists recognised the significance of this unique approach.

 Rudis Sylva is celebrating its 20th anniversary with two flagship launches, unveiled throughout the year, starting with the RS11, unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2026. This square-shaped piece, designed in 2011 but never released, is available in titanium and pink gold, and was created entirely with the aim of providing optimal comfort for the wrist. It incorporates the Harmonious Oscillator, featuring two interconnected toothed balance wheels driven by a single escapement, ensuring identical amplitude and instantaneous correction of the effects of gravity within a cage that completes a full rotation every 60 seconds.

In the titanium version, a vibrant palette unfolds, where purple evolves in a gradient from the deepest to the brightest tones, revealing violet accents with delicate fuchsia undertones. This chromatic richness is expressed at every level, from the guilloché main plate enhanced with a black-purple PVD treatment, to the hour and minute dial, and the three-quarter bridge. This interplay of tones contrasts with the assertive presence of the gears, whose silvery hues with luminous reflections reveal every detail, in particular the Harmonious Oscillator, its two balance wheels and its large bridge, as well as the hands, Roman numerals, indices, the outline of the upper dial and the titanium case. The whole creates a subtle balance between visual intensity and mechanical precision, in a spirit that is bold yet still a watchmaking classic.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Like the other models in the collection, the RS11 showcases regional watchmaking expertise: its main plate features hand guilloché work applied using a “straight-line” engine to create a linear pattern of pyramids. This operation involves the simultaneous use of both the left and right hands to operate the two spindles of the guilloché engine. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The amount of material removed is minimal – around 6 hundredths of a millimetre – and the main plate must be turned over three times, making for an even more complex execution. Georges Brodbeck, neighbour and friend of the watch brand, winner of the Gaïa Prize awarded by the Musée international d’horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and a world-renowned authority in the field of guilloché work, crafted the two prototype main plates exhibited at Watches & Wonders 2026.  

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The main plate, barrel bridge and all the other bridges of the RS11 square model are hand-bevelled, reflecting a rare level of craftsmanship. Bevelling is performed using gentian wood, harvested from pastures at an altitude of 1000 metres and dried in late autumn. Its finish, ideal for a mirror polished look, enhances every edge of the watch components. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This gentian root, harvested in autumn and distilled, subtly evokes the Maison’s deep roots in its local region. The bevelling of the Harmonious Oscillator bridge, carried out entirely by hand, takes up to 25 hours and involves creating 28 interior angles in the titanium, a very demanding material, demonstrating the extreme precision of this craftsmanship.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The arms of the main plate, which pass through the barrels, are angled at 180°, lending the structure a smooth, rounded appearance. The recesses are polished by hand and the gear train passages are circular-grained by hand. The surfaces and sides, alternately sand-blasted and brushed, create a subtle interplay of textures.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Housed in a 43 mm square case, the RS11, water-resistant to 30 metres, features a domed crystal, a case-back crystal and a side crystal, allowing the movement to be admired from every angle. All three crystals have an anti-reflective coating on both sides for optimum readability. The polishing of the case is particularly intricate, with a horizontal satin finish on the sides that stops precisely at the edge, while the case middle features an interplay of alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces. The timepiece is presented on a genuine alligator leather strap with large scales, backed with a leather lining and mounted between horns set 25 mm apart. A version without alligator leather is also available.

 Rudis Sylva underscores its discreet yet demanding vision, where each timepiece becomes an expression of time, place and craftsmanship. Sincere, uncompromising watchmaking, driven by the constant pursuit of accuracy and authenticity.
