UNDONE x Popeye Arabian Knight Limited Edition Automatic Watch

UNDONE introduces: UNDONE x Popeye I The Arabian Knight- Everyone’s favourite one eye squinting, spinach chewing sailorman swaps out his old corncob pipe for the more philosophical shisha hookah and sets off into the desert sea looking for answers. With the help of the Popeye, UNDONE revisits its gemstoned inspired reflection on the ephemerality of the human condition, as expressed poetically in this timeless persian adage. The name Lapis comes from Latin meaning stone and Lazuli originates from the Persian word lajavard. Lapis is most abundantly found in Afghanistan and Iran (previously Persia) and is one of the oldest gemstones used throughout centuries. The Lapis Lazuli is a semi-precious stone composed of several minerals, but mostly lazurite, giving it a deep opulent blue. The stone was highly valued by ancient civilizations including Persians, Egyptians, Mayans and Greeks; and mined for jewelry and ornaments. A horological novelty by high-end watchmakers tailoring to an emerging luxury market in the Middle East from the 1950-70s, these dials incorporate symbols from the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, which are highly popular among discerning watch collectors. Their relatively obscure origins along with inherent exclusivity to Arabian royalties and oil moguls lend this design a certain elusive, regal air. Somewhat reminiscent of the iconic gift of custom watches bestowed by the sultanate upon its worthy heroes and esteemed acquaintances… let this piece crafted with the Lapis Lazuli – one of the most revered gemstones in the ancient world, adorned only by Kings, Pharaohs and ancient regality- serve as a poetic reminder of the perseverance and the perfect first mate; as you captain your ship amidst the everchanging blue of the oceans, against the celestial indifference of the constellations. - MOVEMENT Japanese TMI NH35A/ NH39 Automatic Winding Mechanism DIMENSIONS Case Width - 37mm excl. crown Case Thickness - 12.8mm incl. crystal MATERIALS Case - 316L Stainless Steel Lens - Double Dome Sapphire Crystal WATER RESISTANCE 5 ATM / 50 Meters WARRANTY 12 Month Warranty from purchase date - Established in 2014, UNDONE is the world’s leading bespoke wristwatch label, where premium watchmaking is about the individual.
