Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father and first president of the United Arab Emirates, was known for his visionary leadership and profound generosity, often gifting luxurious items to dignitaries and esteemed individuals as a symbol of respect and gratitude. Among these, the Omega Constellation reference BB 368 003 in pink-gold stands as a remarkable example of such a gift. This extraordinary timepiece, crafted with an integrated pink gold Omega bracelet, embodies elegance and exclusivity. The watch, produced in 1967 and delivered to Bahrain as stated on the extract from the archives, features a stunning pink gold dial adorned with diamond indexes. What makes this piece uniquely significant is the inscription of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s name in Arabic on the dial, a rare, special personalized touch that elevates its historical and cultural value. Gifted to a prominent Iraqi figure in the late 1960s, this watch is a testament to the Sheikh’s diplomatic ties and the symbolic importance of such heirlooms. The automatic chronometer movement, officially certified for precision, reflects Omega’s renowned commitment to technical excellence. This Constellation is not merely a watch but a piece of history, encapsulating the legacy of a leader who played a pivotal role in shaping the modern Middle East while showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of one of the world’s most prestigious watchmakers.
