Uniquely Seddiqi

Marking 75 years of UAE distributor Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons — the founder of Dubai Watch Week — these timepieces celebrate legacy, craftsmanship and collaboration.

Ressence Type 9 S75

In honour of ‘S75’ (Seddiqi 75), Ressence has unveiled a poetic tribute to the UAE — the Type 9 S75. Limited to 20 pieces, its dial is crafted from real sand gathered equally from the dunes of all seven emirates, transforming the desert itself into a living measure of time. True to Ressence’s design ethos, the sand-filled dial floats under a domed sapphire crystal, its minimalist display reduced to hours and minutes driven by the patented ROCS 9 movement. With a Grade 5 titanium case, and weighing just 40g, it pairs with a camel leather strap — what else? The result is a watch that bridges innovation and identity, fusing nature, culture and horological artistry in motion. ressencewatches.com

Arnold & Son Nebula 40 Steel — Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Edition

This striking 10-piece limited edition features a skeletonised dial, revealing seven radiating bridges and a perfectly balanced A&S5201 hand-wound calibre, offering a 90-hour power reserve. The garnet flange with Eastern Arabic numerals and palladium-plated bridges evoke celestial harmony, while meticulous finishes — polished chamfers, guilloché main plate and gold-finished barrels — showcase Arnold & Son’s artisanal mastery. With steel, calfskin or fabric straps in garnet tones, this timepiece embodies refined complexity. The Nebula 40 Steel isn’t merely an anniversary watch — it’s a dialogue between this Swiss brand’s British heritage and a bold Emirati vision.

Gerald Charles Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin ‘Tiger’s Eye’

Tiger’s eye is the perfect way for Gerald Charles to celebrate its longstanding partnership with Seddiqi — the rare and visually striking fibrous quartz, popular in the 1970s, with its golden shimmer representing the shifting sands of the UAE, has been made into an unusual dial, with this particular watch limited to just 20 pieces. The stainless steel Maestro case has a new bronze-brown Colormix finish, with a sand-hued vulcanised rubber strap, and the ultra-slim GCA2000 automatic calibre inside. With its minimalist, index-free dial and architectural form inspired by baroque sensibilities, this special edition is a nod to Gerald Charles’s own 25th anniversary.

DOXA Sub 250 Ahmed Seddiqi

A fusion of legacy and adventure, and a modern interpretation of a 1970s icon, Doxa’s Sub 250 Ahmed Seddiqi timepiece pays tribute to both brands’ shared ideals of purpose and craftsmanship. Limited to 75 numbered pieces, it features a cherry-red sunray dial accented with sand-gold hands and indexes — said to be a nod to Dubai’s energy and desert hues. Its 40mm cushion-shaped stainless-steel case houses the automatic Sellita SW300 movement with a 56-hour power reserve and 250m water resistance. Eastern Arabic numerals adorn the date disc and bezel, and the caseback is engraved with the Seddiqi motto, ‘Where Legacy Meets Luxury.’

A bold tribute to flight and fortitude, Breitling’s Avenger Automatic 42 Night captures the spirit of adventure and precision.

With 300m water resistance and a military leather strap in black or sand, it’s engineered for resilience and refined for collectors.

Ferdinand Berthoud FB 3SPC.3-4 Platinum Seddiqi Edition

Just three of these exquisite Ferdinand Berthoud anniversary models will be made. So, if you want to celebrate 75 years of Seddiqi with a platinum case, accented by a sapphire porthole at nine o’clock, plus the hand-wound Calibre FB-SPC — a COSC-certified movement with a cylindrical balance spring and 72-hour power reserve — you’d better move fast. Gilded numerals and sandblasted nickel silver bridges lend subtle warmth to the black varnished dial, while diamond-polished yellow gold hands, with a platinum pin buckle on the alligator leather strap, complete the look. At once technical and poetic, the Seddiqi Edition pays homage to the legacy of the UAE’s most storied watch purveyor.
