Qatar’s Beda’a watchmaker is known for approaching horology through geometry, and the Angles Mecaline Diamond Edition elevates that signature with a dose of sparkle. The rectangular 37×34 mm case is cut from 316L stainless steel and set with 1.1 carats of VVS‑grade diamonds along the bezel and lugs. A flat sapphire crystal protects a minimalist dial that forgoes hour markers entirely; only dauphine hands and a small seconds sub‑dial punctuate the silvery expanse. The watch is surprisingly slim at just 6 mm thick, allowing it to slip easily under a cuff despite its icy accents.
Inside beats the hand‑wound ETA 7001 movement, a proven caliber celebrated for its 42‑hour power reserve and slim profile. Viewed through a display back, the movement’s Geneva stripes and blued screws offer subtle decoration that complements the exterior’s restraint. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM, making the watch suitable for daily wear rather than extreme adventure.
A black alligator leather strap tapers from a 19 mm lug width and fastens with a stainless steel buckle. Those seeking a warmer palette can opt for the Warm Gray variant, which pairs champagne tones with the same diamond setting.
While Beda’a is a young brand, its choice to limit production of the Diamond Edition underscores a commitment to exclusivity. Each piece comes with an individual certificate and is priced around QAR 19,500 (approximately US$5,353).
For collectors drawn to art deco geometry and restrained opulence, the Angles Mecaline Diamond Edition offers a compelling fusion of design disciplines. It proves that a watch doesn’t need numerals—or a quartz battery—to make a lasting impression.
