Popeye gets new home on Reservoir X Label Noir timepiece
Produced in collaboration between Reservoir and Label Noir and featuring the famed cartoon character Popeye, this new limited edition is of 200 pieces. The 41.5mm titanium watch is classic Reservoir, with slightly curved lugs and signature knurling on its unique crown. The case itself is of grey DLC with a satin finish, boasts 50m of water resistance and is offered on a grey nubuck leather strap with red and grey stitching and a matching grey DLC pin buckle. On the grey dial, a hand-painted Popeye is in full charge. The dial features a 240° retrograde configuration, with the minutes displayed upon three-fourths of the surface and the running hours indicated in a prominent view via a bordered digital display at Popeye’s feet, while his massive arm indicates the running minutes, sweeping from “00” to “60” and then snapping back again at the top of each hour. The calibre RSV-240 allows a 56-hour power reserve. The movement, Reservoir-signed rotor, and meticulous finishings are all visible via an exhibition sapphire case back, itself adorned with a winking Popeye.
