Explore the novel collaboration between RESERVOIR and Popeye Mexico through a delightful portrayal of the iconic comic character as an 18th-century Mexican adventurer in the untamed countryside.
The RESERVOIR x Popeye Mexico timepiece stands as a genuine masterpiece, embodying the thematic essence of Mexican history in its design.
Popeye, the central figure, is depicted donning a gray vest, cartridge belts, and the traditional “Mexican Hat,” exuding determination as he wields pistols reminiscent of those carried by valiant Mexican adventurers of the 18th century. Alongside cacti, a town church, and distant mountains, this scene vividly captures the essence of the Mexican countryside, transporting us to an era of sunlit duels and desert legends.
The watch face boasts a distinctive time display: Popeye’s arm serves as a retrograde minute hand, while jumping hours are showcased in the window at 6. Notably, the power reserve at the face’s bottom features three interlocking circles symbolizing bullet impacts, with the indicator hand resembling a red target. Beyond its timekeeping function, this watch is a conduit for emotions, evoking nostalgia and a sense of adventure.
Crafted from genuine leather in a dark brown hue, the watch strap underscores the timepiece’s robustness and durability—essential attributes for a watch inspired by the Mexican Revolution. A subtle tricolor detail on the strap’s side pays homage to the Mexican flag. Limited to just 50 pieces, each watch is numbered “1 of 50” on the back. The sapphire crystal on the back center showcases a depiction of Popeye in a charro hat, merging elements of popular and Mexican culture. The inscription “Limited Series Mexico” adds an exclusive touch. Each watch is presented in a white wooden box adorned with an image of “The Popeye Family,” featuring special embroidery in honor of Popeye.
The meticulous attention to detail, from denim design to color selection, reflects a high level of dedication and craftsmanship. For those seeking more than mere functionality in a watch, this limited edition piece serves as an ideal means to transport them to another era, combining elements of nostalgia and adventure.
