Olive Oyl: A Legacy of Laughter and Love

Olive’s character, tall, gangly, and unapologetically forthright, is a blend of comedic brilliance and distinctive style. Known for her expressive antics and memorable catchphrase “Oh Dear!”, Olive’s adventures are a mix of humorous misadventures and tender moments. Despite often finding herself in humorous predicaments, her assertiveness and resilience shine through, embodying RESERVOIR’s ethos: “Fail or prevail but make it bold.” Olive Oyl is more than just a comic figure; she is a symbol of enduring spirit and spontaneous flair. Now, reimagined on the dial of the RESERVOIR Olive Oyl watch, her enduring spirit brings a touch of animated history to the wrists of those who cherish classic comics and appreciate the craft of fine watchmaking.
A Marvel of Design and Function
The RESERVOIR Olive Oyl is not just a tribute to a beloved character; it is a showcase of exceptional craftsmanship. The watch features a 39mm diameter encased in 316L stainless steel with a satin and polished finish, enhancing its elegant appearance. The blue sandstone dial, adorned with Olive Oyl’s arm as the single hand pointing to embossed white numerals, marks the minutes. Swee’Pea playfully indicates the power reserve, all protected by a domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
Continuing with RESERVOIR’s signature style, the watch is equipped with retrograde minute, jumping hour, and 56-hour power reserve functionalities, ensuring a dynamic and intuitive time-reading experience. The timepiece also features an open case-back, offering a 360° view of the Swiss-made RSV-240 caliber, a manufacture self-winding mechanical movement that includes a patented proprietary 113-piece module (LJP G100 base).
This watch is not merely an accessory; it is a piece of art that offers wearers a slice of animated history, designed to be bold, daring, and timeless.
