Nuncier Launches the Second Generation of its Origen Steel Watch

Bahrain, August 2026 

Every watch that earns a following eventually faces the same question: what comes next? 

Nuncier — the first microwatch brand to emerge from the GCC — answers that question today with the second generation of its signature Origen Steel Watch, a refined take on the original design. 

The first generation put Nuncier on wrists across the region and established the design language the brand is known for. The second generation carries that same spirit forward: durability, performance, and the adventure-ready ethos the brand was built on. Its dial now carries Marea — a fine, horizontal wave texture inspired by the natural rhythm of tides shaping open water — a quiet nod to Nuncier’s origins in Nun, Sea, Air, the foundation the brand was named for. 

With the second generation launching on August 21st, 2026, the first generation will be discontinued. The second generation of the Origen Steel will be available for purchase at nuncier online store.

What’s New 

• Case — A shift from a rounded cushion case to a multi-faceted case construction with defined bezel angles, built for improved structural rigidity. 
• Backcase — upgraded 316L stainless steel construction
• Bracelet — from a bolt-on link bracelet to a fully integrated, quick-release bevel bracelet with a 316L stainless steel double fold butterfly clasp
• Dial — from a geometric pattern to the Marea texture, with an improved layout and applied steel numerals
• Hands — enhanced Luminova for improved clarity
• Date window — upgraded for better legibility 

The Colorways

Each dial in the collection carries the same Marea texture — a fine, horizontal wave pattern inspired by the natural rhythm of tides. What changes is depth and light: three colorways, each drawn from a different face of the sea.

• Trench (Black) — the ocean’s deepest, darkest point, where light disappears and pressure reigns absolute
• Reef (Green) — the living shallows, where sunlight meets water and color comes alive
• Azure (Blue) — the open sea itself, endless and brilliant under a clear sky

Availability 

Available in three colorways — Trench (Black), Reef (Green), and Azure (Blue) — each offered with a choice of index or Arabic numeral dial markers. Origen Steel launches on 21st August, 2026.

About Nuncier:

Born in Arabia, Raised Globally. 

Nuncier is a GCC-based watch brand creating contemporary timepieces that combine Arabian Gulf identity, modern design and a spirit of adventure. Born from a sketch on the island of Nuun in the Arabian Gulf, the brand creates adventure-ready, sports-luxury watches for those who set the pace rather than follow it.

Known for its signature Arabic numerals, limited-edition releases and creative collaborations, Nuncier has developed a growing presence across regional and international markets. Its timepieces combine distinctive design with material innovation, including Carbon X, inspired by the carbon graphite technology used in aerospace and motorsport, and the brand’s signature DirtResist Nanoband, engineered for durability and comfort across different environments.

Collaboration remains central to Nuncier’s approach, with previous partnerships including NASA and Peanuts featuring Snoopy helping to introduce the brand and its watchmaking to audiences around the world.
