Imperial Geneve UAE Armed Forces Special Edition Quartz Watch Date 32mm Steel

About this watch

A commemorative Imperial Geneve watch bearing the emblem of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces: the falcon with the UAE flag inside a green laurel wreath, printed at the centre of a champagne guilloche dial. The dial is decorated with an engine-turned rosette pattern, raised round markers and a date window at 6 o'clock. Under some light the pale dial reads almost silver, as several photos show.

The 32mm stainless-steel case has a sculpted bezel with decorative studs and sits on an integrated stainless-steel bracelet. A compact, unisex size that wears neatly on most wrists.

Brand heritage

Special dials carrying the emblem of the UAE Armed Forces were made for presentation and commemoration, and watches with Gulf state and military emblems have become a recognised collecting theme. Imperial Geneve watches of this type were produced in Switzerland for the Gulf market, and examples with the armed forces emblem are rarely seen.
