Regia Timepieces is based in Singapore. The brand creates vintage styled watches with a spark of modern design and technological advancement. These high quality and reliable watches come with affordable prices. REGIA means “Royal” in Spanish. First watch collection from the brand is ARMARE REGATTA.
Armare Regatta watch takes inspiration from the legendary ref. 3646 (Panerai Radiomir) watch from the 1940 welded wire lug prototypes. The faults of the early prototype 3646 case were mainly due to the wire lugs which proved to be too fragile, also the water resistance of the early screw-in crown designs was not fully suited for military diving usage.
Armare Regatta is manufactured with a diameter of 44mm and a thickness of 13mm, to help cater to both ladies and gentlemen. It features a large dial and a fixed dodecagon bezel.
The first editions of “Armare Regatta” introduced with 3 modern unique dial coloration in 2 dial designs each color only holding a 100 pieces each (50 pieces for each of the green).
The second editions “發” dial are available in 6 colors. Each colour is limited to 100 pieces. They are available in both engraved (code R105) and plain bezel (code R106). 發” is [pronounce as Fa or Fatt in Chinese] or [Phat in Vietnamese].
Usually use during the Chinese New Year or when associated with good luck [發財] to become rich and to make money. Thus, Gong Xi Fa Cai [恭喜發財] is use in wishes, it means “Wishing you a prosperous year” or “Wish you make a lot of fortune”. “發” is placed on the 8 position as “發” is also sounds like “8” in Cantonese.
Both editions feature a Torpedo Submarine symbol on the dial. This symbol was added as the vintage “3646” was originally made for the military diving team.
The third editions “RSD” dial [Regia Skull Dial] are specially made with lume skull eyes, the first of its type. They are available with engraved (code R107) and plain bezel (code R108) format.

Regia custom patina dial watches
The REGIA custom made patina dial watches are painstakingly handmade. Each and every piece of watch dial is careful patina with its parameter. It takes a lot of time to monitoring and to achieve the unique patina dial look.
With each part of this exquisite bejeweled timepiece; from the round case and dial through the bridge and buckle to the Backes & Strauss signature Jewel in the Crown, we can admire a myriad of meticulously set round brilliant ideal cut diamonds, distinctive and awe-inspiring in their design and composition; just like John Nash’s architectural masterpieces. In a meeting between the beauty of the design and the inner workings of the watch, the movement of The Earl of Strauss is partly skeletonised. Not only does this expose the alluring architectural inspiration behind the timepiece but also the beauty in the precision of time.
