Hamilton Ventura Limited Edition: inspired by the universe of Dune

In an exclusive collaboration with Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, Hamilton has designed a custom “Desert Watch” for the highly anticipated film, Dune: Part Two. That’s what inspired the brand to launch two highly creative limited-edition timepieces.

amilton is a long-standing presence in Hollywood, with watches featured in over 500 major films since 1932. The brand is entering into a new collaborative venture with the artisans behind Dune: Part Two. Unlike previous collaborations, where Hamilton either selected existing watches, delved into their archives or created entirely new designs, the world of Dune demanded a different approach. 

The Ventura Bright includes a button replicating the glowing blue lines of the “Desert Watch” dial design.

 The brand-new Ventura Edge boasts a matte black PVD-coated angular case with a digital display in blue, mimicking the relief elements seen on the prop in the film.

At director Denis Villeneuve’s request, Hamilton worked alongside the film’s prop master, Doug Harlocker, to craft a watch for another world that defies traditional watch norms. With no knowledge of the device’s function but guided by the lore of Frank Herbert’s Dune and Villeneuve’s vision for the film, Hamilton’s designers created a hardwearing, distinctly Fremen device that perfectly embodies Harlocker’s artistry and earned Villeneuve’s blessing on the final design.

While the “Desert Watch” is exclusive to Arrakis, its creative influence has inspired Hamilton to launch two limited-edition watches, coinciding with the release of Dune: Part Two. Both Venturas feature a luminous blue dial reminiscent of the Fremen’s unmistakable blue eyes. The limited-edition pieces come with commemorative packaging inspired by the film that will be appreciated by collectors and fans of the movies and books.

Price: CHF 1,595-2,250
