Zellij Sitara : Automatic

Introducing the Zellij Sitara  زليج سِتَار

A star motif floats above an visible Eastern Arabic date wheel - white indices over a slate gray ring complete the dial that provides a contrast between modern and traditional design elements. 

In addition to highlighting the beauty of Arabic numerals - the dial is an exploration of the contrast between “fast” and “slow” time - the visible date wheel allows the viewer to consider the progression of days within the month. An awareness that has special meaning within the Islamic Lunar Calendar.

The word Sitaraسِتَار traditionally holds the dual meaning of both star and also veil or covering - as in the “veil of stars.” 

Applied lume on the hands, indices, dial and date wheel provides a striking appearance in low-light conditions. A polished front bezel, engraved crown and black or olive brown granola leather strap completes the package.

“No one knows the Great Pattern the Wheel weaves. We can only watch, and study, and hope.” - Robert Jordan
