Celebrating 53 years of unity, innovation, and ambition. This National Day, we honour the UAE's incredible journey and the boundless spirit that keeps pushing us to aim higher. So, in honour of today, we’ll be sporting timepieces in red, green, black, or white—or all four if we're feeling bold. #DubaiWatchWeek #UAENationalDay #EidAlEtihad نحتفل بـ 53 عاماً من الوحدة، الابتكار، والطموح. في هذا اليوم الوطني، نكرّم رحلة الإمارات الاستثنائية والروح اللامحدودة التي تدفعنا دائماً إلى تحقيق المزيد. واليوم، نرتدي ساعات تحمل ألوان الأحمر، الأخضر، الأسود، أو الأبيض – أو جميعها معاً إذا شعرنا بالجرأة. #عيد_الاتحاد
