A Combo Of Culture And Comic

Swiss-French watchmaker Reservoir’s latest limited-edition watch is an audacious surprise for fans of Popeye.
An embodiment of passion and energy, Reservoir watches are renowned for their vivacious collaborations. The Franco-Swiss brand’s latest offering is an exclusive limited edition, incorporating Qatar’s natural heritage, a legendary comic and the luxury watchmaker’s technical finesse.
The new Reservoir x Popeye Qatar Limited Edition watch takes inspiration from the country’s natural bounty and infuses a comic dose with the famous sailorman, evoking a sense of nostalgia. The watch features Popeye in the centre of the dial, wearing the Ghutrah, standing before the golden sand dunes of Qatar. He is flanked by the nation’s wildlife: the falcon and the oryx. Instead of the classic sprig of spinach, his arm sports the falconry glove and serves as the minute-hand, operating with a self-winding movement.

Cased in 41.5mm brushed steel, the watch is water-resistant to 50m. The back features an open case with a painting of Popeye’s face. Arabic numerals constitute the retrograde minute display – characteristic of all of Reservoir’s collections, where the hand moves from 0-60 on a 240° arc. The hour marker at six is a jumping hour feature, marking the instant transition of each time period. A dark blue leather strap with blue stitching and a stainless-steel pin buckle provide the sophisticated finishing touches.
Combining Qatar’s natural heritage with Popeye’s spirit of resilience, the watch is a bold statement of amalgamating tradition with modern Swiss craftsmanship. The timepiece epitomises the comic character’s ready-for-anything attitude, reflecting the country’s spirit. The collaboration translates the iconic character’s vigour into a stylish and novel wristwear piece. The limited-edition selection is available only in 30 pieces and is made exclusively for Qatar’s Al Majed Jewellery. ✤
