Hamilton Watch, the Swiss watch brand known for its innovative and cinematic designs, has teamed up with Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures to create a custom wrist device for the highly anticipated film 'Dune: Part Two'. The device, dubbed the “Desert Watch”, is a futuristic and functional accessory that reflects the vision of acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve for the next chapter in the epic saga based on Frank Herbert’s novel.

The “Desert Watch” is a key prop in the film, worn by the main characters as they navigate the harsh and mysterious planet of Arrakis, also known as Dune. The device features a digital display that glows in blue, a nod to the distinctive blue eyes of the Fremen people, the native inhabitants of Dune. The device also has a button that activates a holographic map of the desert terrain, helping the characters to locate their position and destination.

Hamilton Watch has created two distinct limited edition watches inspired by the “Desert Watch”, which will be available for fans and collectors to purchase. The first one is the Ventura XXL Bright Dune, which replicates the design and functionality of the 'Dune: Part Two' prop. The watch has a black PVD-coated stainless steel case with a luminous blue dial that mimics the digital display of the device. The watch also has a button on the left side of the case that illuminates the blue lines on the dial, creating a striking effect. The watch is powered by a quartz movement and has a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters and comes with a black rubber strap. The Ventura XXL Bright Dune is limited to 3,000 pieces.

Both watches are part of the Ventura collection, which is Hamilton’s signature line of watches with a distinctive triangular shape. The Ventura collection was launched in 1957 and was the world’s first electric watch. The Ventura has been a favorite of celebrities and movie stars, such as Elvis Presley, who wore it in the film “Blue Hawaii”. The Ventura has also appeared in several other films, such as “Men in Black”.
