It is the name of the previous ruler of Dubai - Maktoum - this was one of six watches which he gave to the pilots of his private planes and helicopters.Beautiful! What does the red text on the dial say? Is it Arabic? I always love the exotic touch of having non-Latin letters on a watch face.
I got it from the son of the original owner, who never wore it, it came with the complete box and papers. The interesting thing about the papers is that they were devoid of anything other than the serial number, normally on the top left there is a 3 digit code, which indicates which country the watch is intended for. On this certificate the space was unperforated, meaning that the watch was collected directly from the factory.
