With a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 13.17 mm, this unique titanium watch offers a harmonious blend of elegance and innovation. The crown features the JCB logo. Both the front and back are protected by sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and clarity.

The essence of this exceptional timepiece is encapsulated in the dial, an exquisite masterpiece crafted from Coeur de Rubis, an extremely rare and challenging gemstone mineral. This material choice transcends mere aesthetic appeal, embodying a symbolic resonance deeply tied to Qatar's national identity.

Central to this masterpiece is a singular piece of mother-of-pearl, serving as a delicate canvas to narrate stories deeply rooted in Qatari culture.
