Made for the Middle East. Sold out before the Middle East could get its hands on it. Somehow, I’ve got two sitting in the UK.
new MTP-E735AR Arabic Dial Collection only landed recently, created specifically for the Middle East & Africa market.
And that’s what makes this release interesting.
I’m already seeing collectors from the region trying to find them. Stores are showing no stock, people are asking where they can actually buy one, and the watches are barely available outside the market they were designed for.
Meanwhile, somehow, Deep Blue and Ice Blue have both made their way to Fich & Ramous in England.
There’s something beautifully backwards about that.
The watches themselves are fantastic: Eastern Arabic numerals, those heavily patterned arabesque dials, Arabic/English day wheels and two completely different shades of blue.
But I’ll admit it the exclusivity is what got me.
A Casio you’re not really supposed to have in the UK, while collectors in its home market are still hunting for one?
Yeah. That’ll do it.
MTP-E735AR-2A1V — Deep Blue
