Nuncier Unveils Limited-Edition Watch Created With Global Tennis Icon Ons Jabeur


(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) Manama, September 2026: Nuncier, the Gulf-born watch brand bringing contemporary design together with a distinct Arabian identity, has unveiled its limited-edition watch created in collaboration with global tennis icon Ons Jabeur.



A former World No. 2 and three-time Grand Slam finalist, Jabeur made history as the first Arab and African woman to reach a Grand Slam singles final. Yet her influence extends far beyond tennis. Known for her authenticity, resilience and advocacy for women in sport, she has become one of the Arab world's most celebrated and influential athletes.

The collaboration brings Jabeur's personal story into Nuncier's world of contemporary watchmaking. From the outset, she wanted the design to reflect the person beyond the athlete, rather than being defined solely by references to tennis.

The Design Process: The resulting timepiece is shaped by her relationship with time, happiness and balance, as well as her belief in moving through life with intention and at one's own pace.

During the creative process, Ons shared her philosophy about time.“Time moves quietly. It teaches us when to pause, when to breathe, when to feel. Happiness isn't something we chase; it's something we allow. In the moments we slow down, we remember what truly matters. Time, lived with heart, becomes joy.”

Created through a close design dialogue between Jabeur and Nuncier, the watch translates these reflections into a design that feels personal to her while remaining true to Nuncier's distinctive identity.

At the heart of the design is a sand-textured dial, finished with raised Arabic Markers and matte sandblasted hands. The dial is housed within Nuncier's signature Carbon X Tech case, equipped with integrated anti-shock ears for added protection. Quick-release Nanotech Dirt Resist rubber straps in beige and green bring contrast and character to the watch, reflecting the warmth and playfulness that shaped its creative direction.

Haroon Naeem, Brand Manager at Nuncier said:“Ons represents ambition, authenticity and pride across the region. This collaboration gave us the opportunity to look beyond everything she has achieved in tennis and create a watch that reflects her story, her personality and the way she sees time.”

The collaboration reflects Nuncier's commitment to creating watches rooted in the stories and perspectives of the region, presented through a contemporary design language for a global audience.

Availability: The watch will be produced in strictly limited quantities and will be launching on September 7th, 2026 at .
