On the occasion of Dubai Watch Week 2023Reservoir introduced The Reservoirx Abdullah Lutfi Limited Edition watch that embodies a fusion of precision and artistic flair. Its dial boasts a vibrant blue background adorned with an artistic depiction of Dubai's skyscrapers, rendered in captivating shades of blue. Furthermore, the watch introduces an innovative time-telling method, featuring a figure adorned in a dishdasha. This character's right hand functions as the retrograde minute hand, while a jumping hour indicator is positioned at 6 o'clock on the dial.

The watch boasts a 41.5mm case crafted from brushed 316L stainless steel, offering a refined and durable design. Its open case-back reveals an original ABDULLA LUTFI drawing glass paint application, adding a unique and artistic element to the watch's design. Additionally, the anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures clear visibility while protecting the dial, with a screw-down crown and water-resistant up to 50 meters.

 

 

The dial features a painted pattern of Dubai's skyscrapers, with a figure adorned in a dishdasha, adding an artistic and creative touch to the timepiece. As we saw in the previous POPEYE CRICKET, the watch uses popeye’s hand as the retrograde minute hand, a feature we can see in the new Reservoir x Abdullah Lutfi, with the jumping hours indicator positioned at 6 o'clock. Additionally, The dial holds in indices complemented by Eastern Arabic numerals, making it a perfect choice for the region's collectors.
