A new era for Bovet: Récital 30 arrives with superior function and simpler style

The Bovet Récital 30, presented in April 2025, represents a significant advance for the Swiss watchmaker, offering a more affordable version of its highly regarded Récital 28 model. This new model retains the innovative world time mechanism but with a simplified design and smaller dimensions, making it an attractive option for collectors who want an innovative timepiece that is also suitable for everyday use.

One of the most notable features of the Récital 30 is its advanced world time mechanism. This mechanism allows the wearer to track 25 different time zones, which is especially useful for global travelers.

Interestingly, the system includes a unique time difference of 5:30 hours from Indian Standard Time. In addition, the watch is designed to easily manage daylight saving time changes. It offers four different settings that correspond to UTC, American Summer Time, European Summer Time, and European Winter Time, making it an ideal companion for those who need to keep up with global time shifts.

Elegant and wearable design

While the Récital 28 was a sophisticated yet complex design, the Récital 30 adopts a simplified and more wearable approach. The 42mm case is a “classic” size and fits comfortably on the wrist, with a thickness of just 12.9mm, making it more suitable for everyday wear. It is available in two case materials: rose gold and titanium, both produced in Bovet’s specialized factory in Tramelan, Switzerland.

The dial, which features a sector layout, is equally sophisticated. A central 24-hour world time ring and synchronized city rollers provide intuitive access to the time in different time zones. The addition of a dedicated time period roller, which tracks specific regional time periods, further elevates the watch's functionality.

Bovet continues to offer a distinctive level of customization for the Récital 30, allowing customers to personalize various aspects of the watch. This includes the ability to choose unique dial colors, customize city names, and even adjust configurations to accommodate changing time zones. This customization ensures that each Récital 30 is truly unique, tailored to the needs of its owner.
