Durian enthusiasts can soon get their hands on a limited-edition durian-themed watch, launched by a Malaysian brand.
Watchmaker Revelot will launch on July 18 the Hexmariner 39 Durian, a tribute to the king of fruit.
The watch features a deep-green dial with a textured face, warm yellow indices and a small durian-shaped detail towards the end of the second hand. The bezel, too, features yellow lume-filled markers. And an image of the fruit can be found on the caseback.
The automatic timepiece is water-resistant to a depth of 200m. Its bracelets come in three style options, according to the Revelot website.
The Hexmariner 39 Durian is powered by the Seiko NH35 automatic mechanism.

The watchmaker said on its website that it is “elevating a symbol often misunderstood into something unexpectedly refined, with just enough irreverence to keep it interesting”.
While the price of the watch has not been announced, Malaysian social news website Says.com reported that it will be sold at an early-bird price of RM1,388 (S$420), and cost RM1,688 thereafter.
