01The tribute

In honour of a leadership that shaped a nation.

The MBZ Edition was designed in honour of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, may God protect him — a tribute to a leadership journey and a vision that continue to shape the country's future. The design embodies strength, wisdom, and pride in national identity, making this more than a watch: a commemorative piece carrying historical meaning and a symbol of pride in the Emirates. Produced only fifty times, dedicated to collectors and admirers of distinguished Emirati editions.

02The Dial

Silver, vertically brushed — light held, not thrown.

The silver base is vertically brushed to catch light in a single narrow axis. The engraved portrait sits below the surface, revealed only when the wrist turns. Restraint by design.

03The Bracelet

Black stainless steel, hidden butterfly.

A black stainless bracelet grounds the silver above — light case, dark anchor. The clasp folds away invisibly, so the line of the bracelet never breaks around the wrist.

04The Case

40 × 6 mm — the discipline of thinness.

Six millimetres thick. Silver bezel, silver caseback. Brushed and polished 316L surgical steel. It slides under a cuff and stays there.

05The Release

100 pieces. Recorded. Retired. Never repeated.

Each piece is signed on the caseback and recorded in the Nine 11 ownership register. Once it ships, it cannot be reissued under any circumstance.

The Portrait, 12 o'clock

Early dial study: the portrait of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, positioned at 6, with the MBZ arc sweeping across the top rehaut. Fifty pieces, each carrying the same quiet salute.

Of vision, of build

The strategist's watch.

Where the Zayed Edition honours the founder, the MBZ Edition honours the builder — the son who took a federation and turned it into a launch pad. Space missions, sovereign wealth, quiet diplomacy. The dial is silver because the work is silver: measured, structural, cool under load.

Early collector notes

Founder-selected feedback.

A short selection of notes from early owners, shared with permission.

  • "The silver dial is unreal in person — you only see the portrait when the light hits right. Everyone asks about it."

    Yousef R. · Abu DhabiFits 17.5 cm wrist
  • "Bought 007/100 as a gift for my father. He hasn't taken it off. The box ceremony alone was worth it."

    Hessa K. · Abu DhabiFits 15 cm wrist
  • "Six millimetres and it disappears under a shirt cuff. Wear it to the majlis, wear it to a board meeting, same watch."
