Hamilton Watches has designed a custom “Desert Watch” with the artisans of “Dune: Part Two” for the film. Although the “Desert Watch” can only be seen in Arrakis, Hamilton has also launched two limited-edition watches inspired by the prop, coinciding with the release of “Dune: Part Two.”
The collaboration between Hamilton and Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures for the prop watch was created alongside the film’s prop master Doug Harlocker, at the request of Denis Villeneuve. Guided by the world of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” and Villeneuve’s vision, Hamilton’s designers crafted a “hardwearing, distinctly Fremen device” that defies traditional watch norms. Embodying Harlocker’s artistry, the “Desert Watch” earned Villeneuve’s blessing on the final design.
The Venturas, the limited-edition watches available for purchase, feature a luminous blue dial resembling the Fremen’s blue eyes. The Ventura Bright includes a button replicating the “Desert Watch” dial design’s glowing blue lines. The Ventura Edge has a matte black PVD-coated angular case with a digital display in blue to mimic the relief elements seen on the prop in the film. The watches also come with commemorative packaging inspired by the film for fans and collectors. Shop through all of the Ventura styles on the Hamilton website here.
“Dune: Part Two” follows Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, as he teams up with the Fremen to save the galaxy from the Harkonnen empire, which is responsible for the death of Paul’s father. Reprising their roles alongside Chalamet are returning cast members Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling and Javier Bardem. Newcomers to the franchise include Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor Joy, Christopher Walken and Léa Seydoux.
