Beda’a unveils a new version of the Eclipse in commemoration of Qatar’s National day (Dec 18th), limited to 50 pieces only.
This new release comes in response to the overwhelming and positive reception of the Eclipse, as well as the increasing demand for new iterations by friends and collectors, and serves as a celebration of both the brand as well as its home, Qatar.
The Eclipse: Qatar Limited Edition replaces the original blue accents of the watch with a deep Maroon – as carried on Qatar’s Flag.
This is also shown on the case back of the Eclipse, with a new Maroon rotor.
Eastern-Arabic numerals are displayed front and centre to show the hours, and the “Beda’a” Badge on the dial is replaced with Arabic calligraphy of the same.
Founded in Doha, Beda’a bridges cultures — blending Middle Eastern sensibility with Swiss Made precision. Lebanese designer Sohaib Maghnam, the brand’s creative director and CEO, shapes each creation with a distinctive aesthetic that draws on established horological codes yet ventures beyond them. This dialogue between regional inspiration and traditional craftsmanship defines Beda’a’s unique voice in today’s watchmaking landscape.
Beyond the Eclipse’s distinctive design language, the latest nomination at this year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) recognized the brand’s ability to express creativity, innovation, and technical depth at an accessible price point – the very spirit of the Challenge Prize.
Time told differently
Inspired by the rare natural phenomenon from which it takes its name, Eclipse reimagines the act of reading time from a minimalist yet striking perspective. Framed by a 37 mm stainless-steel case, a “celestial shield” conceals most of the dial, revealing only the essentials: a sweeping hour aperture, a floating minutes indicator, and a discreet 10-second counter.
The shield itself floats just beneath the sapphire crystal, creating a tactile connection and a play of light evocative of an eclipse’s corona. Beneath this architectural dial lies the Sellita SW300 automatic movement, visible through a sapphire case back. With its 8.1 mm profile and refined lug construction – each lug individually finished and fitted to the concave case via invisible screws – Eclipse balances visual presence with ergonomic comfort.
Beda’a is proud to present this new watch on December 15th, online sales will commence on December 16th, 1 pm GMT
