The present watch was made to special order for the Royal household of the Sultanate of Oman and features the national emblem of Oman, the khanjar dagger in a sheath superimposed upon two crossed swords surmounted by a crown on the dial. Such examples are rare to find and are today more than ever sought-after by collectors. The present example is furthermore in overall very good condition.
