Since creating its first diving watch in 1932, Omega has long committed itself to the exploration of the seas and ocean conservation alongside dedicated partners. Its latest partner, the Marina di Ravenna-based Seamaster Seahorse Rescue Centre, feels even more personal considering its historic association with the seahorse—an emblem that has appeared on Omega’s timepiece casebacks as far back as 1957.

Yours for S$1,960, with the exception of the crocodile, of which price is available upon request.
Dior’s Grand Bal Jardin Parisien
Building on the Dior Grand Bal collection, an homage to Christian Dior’s love of grand balls and haute couture, the new Grand Bal Jardin Parisien collection is an inspiration of intricate tapestries from Dior’s winter garden on Boulevard Jules-Sandeau. Featuring a vibrant tableau of clematis, peonies and dahlias, and a finely hand-engraved gold swallow, the collection symbolises the arrival of spring, which if you’re at the mercy of a freezing winter, can’t come soon enough.
Stone Island takes inspiration from Mono Lake
Mono Lake, due to extreme salinity and alkalinity, is often considered one of the most unique lakes in the world. Its water, which courses through the desert before entering the city, is what feeds Los Angeles, and this symbiosis between nature and city is what’s led to Stone Island’s spring/summer 2026 collection. Apart from an obvious colour palette, which takes cues from the cool blues of the water and earthy browns of the desert, the materials are a major form of expression, with pigment-treated canvas, double-waxed cotton ripstop and reflective outerwear.
