“As its latest new release for 2023, Reservoir has added a new collection of pilot watches to its lineup. Building upon the brand’s signature single-handed retrograde minutes layout with a jumping hours display, the new Reservoir Black Sparrow collection offers a vintage aviation-inspired aesthetic and pays tribute to Eugène Bullard, the first African American fighter pilot. While in Geneva last month, I got a chance to preview the new Reservoir Black Sparrow collection while meeting with the brand at Time to Watches 2023, and while new models offer much of the same core aesthetic that is typically associated with traditional pilot watches, they also maintain the distinct design language that defines the brand’s contemporary collection.”

“The Kanister 316 variant takes on a new look with its brushed steel case mounted on a vintage five-link bracelet. The combination of modernity and the retro aspect creates an obvious harmony.”

“Introduced in collaboration between Reservoir and Label Noir and featuring the famed cartoon character Popeye, this new limited edition brings a nostalgic icon to the wrist in sleek fashion. The timepiece embodies the ready-for-anything attitude of Popeye with the bold spirit of Reservoir and unexpected creativity of Label Noir, resulting in true comic novelty that’s as strong in design as Popeye’s very own anchor arms.”
