“I yam whats I yam and dats all whats I am,” and that’s Popeye the Sailor Man!
Produced in collaboration between Reservoir and LabelNoir and featuring the famed cartoon character Popeye, this new 200-piece limited edition brings a nostalgic icon to the wrist in sleek fashion.
The timepiece embodies the ready-for-anything attitude of Pop eye with the bold spirit of Reservoir and unexpected creativity of LabelNoir. On the wrist, the 41.5mm titanium watch recalls classic Reservoir styles, with slightly curved lugs and a signature knurling on its unique crown, placing the model in the fantastic canon of the brand. The case itself is clad in an under-the-radar grey DLC— the color scheme courtesy of LabelNoir— with a satin finish used throughout that adds to the model’s bold style.
While Popeye isn’t specifically a traditional hero or an athlete, he’s never one to shy away from a person in need or a moment of action. Just the same, while this bold new Reservoir isn’t explicitly a sports watch, the dark look, satin, finish, and importantly 5 ATM or 50m of water resistance help make the timepiece a capable companion for the everyday, with a grey nubuck leather strap with red & grey stitching and a matching grey DLC pin buckle adding that feeling. Each numbered model is presented in a white wooden box adorned with an image of “The Popeye Family” (© 2022 King Features Syndicate ™ Hearst Holdings, Inc.), a special embroidery in honor of the comic strip Popeye, and a chrome painted figurine “Popeye eating spinach”.
