• The Aura Date 003 (Steel/Black Arabic or Steel/Maroon Arabic), which uses a Seiko NH35A automatic movement, a sunburst dial, and a 316L stainless steel case and integrated bracelet

• Watches from brands like RehLuxious, XLN/V, and Bazaro's Arabic Aura, which combine minimalist design, Arabic numeral dials, and modern finishes like matte or polished steel
