Vyntage Horology Unveils its Newest Timepiece – Purity Tantonyx

Dubai, UAE, 11th November 2024 – Vyntage Horology, the independent luxury timepiece brand, proudly unveils the latest addition, Purity Tantonyx – a watch that embodies the perfect balance of luxury and resilience.

Created with a vision to blend tradition and modernity, this timepiece fuses the intricate artistry of classic watchmaking with the innovative spirit warranted by today’s discerning wearer. It embodies the balance between the timeless and the contemporary, while reflecting a spirit of newness.

Featuring a case crafted of ethically sourced tantalum, Purity Tantonyx is an exquisite timepiece that stands out not only for its striking aesthetics but also for its remarkable properties. Tantalum, a rare metal known for its durability and exceptional resistance to corrosion, embodies the enduring spirit of time itself. Its unique ability to withstand extreme temperatures and hypoallergenic nature make it an ideal choice for those seeking both elegance and practicality.

As Vyntage Horology continues to break the boundaries of its offering, working with tantalum reinforces the brand’s vision to continue to develop timepieces, requiring specialised techniques and embracing unique designs. This complexity adds to the craftsmanship behind the watch, showcasing the skill and precision involved in its creation. Additionally, tantalum’s distinctive, deep blue-grey hue offers a captivating contrast to traditional watch materials, ensuring this timepiece is as visually striking as it is resilient.

With a refined 39mm diameter and a sleek height of just 10.8mm, the watch is designed to be both sophisticated and comfortable. The unique positioning of the crown at 4 o’clock adds a distinctive touch, enhancing the watch’s ergonomic appeal. Encased within two sapphire crystals—one curved for the top and one flat for the case back—this timepiece features an onyx dial. The dark hue and subtle sheen of the onyx, paired with a tone-on-tone counter, creates a harmonious backdrop for the silvered mountain shape polished hands, which come alive with Super Luminova green light, ensuring visibility even in the darkest of settings.

“The Purity Tantonyx is truly one-of-a-kind, reflecting the ethos and vision of Vyntage Horology. The timepiece represents the balance of tradition and innovation, as we invite discerning wearers to embrace a blend of timeless sophistication and modern craftsmanship” Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.

The tantalum case and onyx dial come together to create a truly exceptional timepiece, artfully balancing the durability of the metal with the delicate beauty of the stone.


At the heart of the watch lies a La Joux-Perret movement, celebrated for its precision and craftsmanship, with a 90-hour power reserve. The movement’s 21 jewels ensure smooth operation, while its radiant decoration—featuring polished sides at the balance-cock and a grey palladium finish—adds an artistic flair that captures the essence of Vyntage Horology’s dedication to excellence.
