For Dubai Watch Week 2025, ArtyA has paid homage to the host country, the United Arab Emirates, with two new timepieces in its Aqua collection, presented in partnership with long-time retail collaborator Ahmed Seddiqi. There is a limited edition of ten pieces in emerald-green sapphire and a single, one-of-a-kind model featuring a four-colour sapphire bezel that recreates the UAE flag.
Both watches follow the familiar AquaSaphir architecture - a 41 mm case made almost entirely from sapphire crystal, including the fixed 60-minute bezel, the case middle, the crown, and the front and back crystals. The 10-piece limited edition is built entirely from emerald-green sapphire, manually polished to achieve clarity and shine. The other unique piece takes a different approach: its case middle is crafted from deep black sapphire to contrast with a world-first quadri-colour NanoSapphire bezel. This single-block bezel combines red, green, black, and transparent sapphire in precise sections that reproduce the national colours of the Emirates. Despite the highly transparent construction, the watch still offers a practical 60-metre water-resistance rating.
The timepieces are set with a shimmering aventurine dial reminiscent of a star-filled desert sky. Applied markers and hands filled with Super-LumiNova ensure legibility in low light; at 3 o’clock sits the date window, and the 6 o’clock position highlights the UAE flag and an Arabic inscription reading “Limited Edition, Dubai Edition”.
The timepieces are powered by the reliable La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vph or 4 Hz and offering a long 68-hour power reserve, decorated in a darker theme with a customised gold-toned rotor and displaying hours, minutes, seconds, and the date.
Both models are fitted with a black rubber strap and an ArtyA pin buckle with DLC coating. The emerald-green edition is priced at approx. INR 55,65,000, while the UAE version is offered at approx. INR 89,11,000.
