BOVET Récital 30 Ahmed Seddiqi Limited Edition
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Middle East based luxury watch retailer Ahmed Seddiqi, BOVET has crafted a special seven-piece limited edition of the ultimate world timer, the Récital 30.
The Récital 30 incorporates the innovative roller system from the Récital 28, allowing world travelers to accurately display 24 global time zones during the four time periods of the year – Coordinated Universal Time, American Summer Time, European and American Summer Time, and European Winter Time. Representing a significant leap in solving terrestrial timekeeping problems, ensuring accuracy in managing the world’s time zones, the Récital 30 won the Men’s Complication prize at this year’s GPHG.
Unveiled at Dubai Watch Week 2025, the BOVET Récital 30 Ahmed Seddiqi Limited Edition watch displays 24 independent time zones, with “Emirates” highlighted in red and in Arabic.
The guilloche surrounding the day/night indictor is in Dubai Green, as is the rubber strap (also available in full-skin alligator).
The Ahmed Seddiqi Limited Edition To celebrate 75 years of excellence in watch retail, Mr. Pascal Raffy, owner of BOVET, designed a special version of the Récital 30 paying tribute to both Ahmed Seddiqi and this important region, complete with “Emirates” written in Arabic and highlighted in red on the city roller, as well as using a red, green, white, and black color scheme inspired by the U.A.E. flag.
This special timepiece is limited to 7 pieces only, one for each of the U.A.E. Emirates. Each one is ingeniously numbered – i.e. limited edition number 1 uses the Eastern Arabic numeral for 1 (١) on the world time dial, the number 2 uses the Eastern Arabic numeral for 2 (٢) and so on, one for each of the emirates.
The Ahmed Seddiqi 75 year logo and the limited edition number in Eastern Arabic are transfer printed on the rotor.
