Bahr al Turath
Born from the maritime heritage of the Emirates, Bahr Al Turath is a tribute to those who crossed open waters guided by courage, instinct, and the stars.
At its centre lies Polaris — the timeless point of direction for seafarers — transformed into a sculpted navigation dial with compass geometry, layered depth, and a strong architectural presence.
More than a marine-inspired timepiece, Bahr Al Turath is a symbol of purpose: for those who do not follow the current, but choose their own course.
Polaris Navigation Dial
The dial of Bahr Al Turath is built around Polaris — the North Star that guided generations of seafarers across the Gulf.
Polaris Navigation Dial
The dial of Bahr Al Turath is built around Polaris — the North Star that guided generations of seafarers across the Gulf.
A sculpted star rises from the centre, surrounded by a compass-inspired structure, a precision degree track, luminous markers, and bold Arabic numerals. Beneath it, a layered textured surface creates the impression of depth, movement, and light beneath the sea.
Crafted from Grade 5 titanium and refined through a meticulous 17-stage finishing process, the dial is not merely decorative — it is a miniature instrument of direction, heritage, and identity.
By day, its architecture catches the light. By night, Swiss Super-LumiNova carries the presence of Polaris into darkness.

The case of Bahr Al Turath is engineered as an architectural vessel for the navigation dial within.
Titanium Grade 5 Case
The case of Bahr Al Turath is engineered as an architectural vessel for the navigation dial within.
Composed of dozen precision-engineered components, its faceted Grade 5 titanium construction combines strength, lightness, and sculptural geometry. Every angle, side insert, screw, crown, and surface transition was developed to give the watch its own unmistakable silhouette.
More than four months of engineering transformed the concept into a refined object where maritime heritage, modern material science, and Zaman Alandi’s polygonal architecture exist in one form.
