BEDA’A celebrates Qatar’s National Day with a beautiful new watch

The Eclipse Qatar Limited Edition is a limited edition of 50 pieces.

BEDA’A has unveiled the Eclipse Qatar Limited Edition – a watch that celebrates Qatar’s National Day. It is based on the brand’s Eclipse, an alternative time-display watch that was nominated for the Challenge Prize at the 2025 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG).

“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.”

Key Features

Functions and Operations

Hours – indicated by a disc inside the aperture on the celestial shield. Minutes – indicated by the “floating” arrow. Seconds – 10-seconds counter positioned discreetly on the hours aperture. Winding and time-setting via the crown at 3 o’clock.

Dial

Image: The Eclipse Qatar Limited Edition is “a tribute to unity, pride, and legacy.” It incorporates deep maroon accents (including the strap) “as carried on Qatar’s flag.” Notice the Eastern Arabic numerals in the aperture, the pointed shape of the crown, and contrasting stitching on the strap.

Multi-layered dial with x ‘celestial shield.’ Frosted finish.

“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.”

Movement

Powered by Sellita SW300, an automatic movement that drives the hours, minutes, and seconds. Frequency: 28,800 vph or 4 Hz. Power reserve: 56 hours.

Case

Image: The deep maroon accents extends to the automatic winding rotor as well. The lugs are “individually finished and fitted to the concave case via invisible screws.”

Made from 904L stainless steel. Diameter: 37 mm. Thickness: 8.1 mm. Front and caseback feature a sapphire crystal. Water resistant up to 3 ATM or 30 metres. Watch comes with a maroon-coloured alligator leather strap fitted to a pin buckle.
