Released once, to mark a museum opening.
This edition was created in tribute to the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may he rest in peace, and released to coincide with the historic opening of Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi — one of the most significant cultural moments in the UAE. It was produced once, for this occasion only, and will never be made again. One hundred pieces exist in the world; each carries a piece of the nation's story and the founding leader's legacy.
Scroll closer.
An optical-white field, hand-engraved.
Sheikh Zayed's portrait is laser-etched into the dial at sub-millimetre resolution — restrained, architectural, deliberately quiet so the engraving speaks.
316L surgical steel — built to outlive the wearer.
40 mm of brushed and polished 316L stainless steel. Hypoallergenic, corrosion-resistant, and finished by hand at the Dubai atelier.
Numbered 001 to 100. Recorded forever.
Your serial is engraved on the caseback and entered into the Nine 11 ownership ledger — yours to register, and yours to pass on.
A heritage box — sculpture, medallion, certificate.
It doesn't arrive in a box. It arrives as a ritual — a 3D commemorative sculpture, a gold-finished medallion, a serial card, and a hand-signed warranty card.
Atelier / DraftNumbered — 01 of 100
The special edition caseback carries Sheikh Zayed's signature — 'Waled Kum' — above the serial ZY25-001/100. A private mark of remembrance, laser-etched into steel.
A nation, told in seven points.
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan unified seven Emirates on December 2, 1971 — a federation built on majlis dialogue, on planting trees in a desert, on giving before taking. The Zayed Edition isn't a portrait of a man so much as a portrait of what he chose to leave behind: patience, generosity, and the long view.
