A new chapter for Beda’a’s signature Angles line
The Angles Mecaline Diamond Edition takes Beda’a’s best-selling Angles design into a more precious territory while preserving its clean geometry. The octagonal bezel, angled case middle and stepped architecture remain central, now framed by 1.1 carats of diamonds set across the bezel and lugs.
Created by Sohaib Maghnam as a shape that is both powerful and graceful, Angles has become a pillar of the brand’s growth, embraced by first-time buyers and seasoned collectors, women and men alike. In this iteration, the core design codes stay intact, while a mechanical movement and diamond setting together open a more horological, expressive chapter for the collection.
The proportions are calibrated to transcend traditional gender categories. At 37 mm by 34 mm and just 6 mm in thickness, the watch sits flat on the wrist, with a 19 mm lug width that balances presence and everyday comfort, while the angular, layered case catches the light without appearing heavy.
Beda’a presents two colourways at launch. A Deep Black dial is paired with a black alligator leather strap, while a Warm Gray dial is matched to a maroon alligator strap, both secured with a traditional pin buckle and produced in deliberately small numbers each quarter.
From quartz icon to refined mechanical piece
Behind the apparent effortlessness of the Angles Mecaline Diamond Edition lies a fifteen‑month development process. The aim was to introduce a hand-wound calibre while preserving the visual balance and slimness that defined the quartz Angles, limiting the increase in thickness to just 0.7 mm through refinements to the bezel, dial and crystal, and the adoption of a solid caseback.
A new crown was designed for daily manual winding, ensuring precise handling in regular use. The 316L stainless-steel case with sapphire crystal and 3 ATM water resistance positions the piece at the crossroads of watchmaking depth and everyday wearability.
A mechanical heart with a collector’s sensibility
At the core of the Angles Mecaline Diamond Edition is the ETA 7001, a hand-wound calibre operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering approximately 42 hours of power reserve. Known for reliability and ease of maintenance, it is a considered choice that supports long-term cost-effectiveness across the life of the watch, while a small seconds display at 6 o’clock visually distinguishes the Mecaline from its quartz counterpart.
This sector-style small seconds, with either a semi-matte sunray or circular finish depending on the version, reinforces the Angles’ horological identity and provides a reassuring sign of proper functioning. True to the refined minimalism of the original design, there are no hour markers; instead, dauphine-style hands sweep over a glossy dial, leaving the architecture of the case and the play of light on the diamond-set bezel to set the tone.
Why it matters
For collectors in the region who value both purity of design and mechanical substance, the Angles Mecaline Diamond Edition marks an important evolution for Beda’a. It brings a recognised, architecturally strong design into a hand-wound territory, while the diamond setting and limited production underscore its desirability as a long-term addition to a focused collection.
