Dubai it.
Two words everyone in this city understands, and a band about the place that taught them to us.
What it means to Dubai it
“To achieve something extraordinary with excellence in record time.”
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, defining Dubai-it
The idea is the city’s own story: desert to global city in a single lifetime, turned into a verb.
Our band is that story, drawn as a map. The palms and the islands printed on it are land that did not exist a generation ago.
Our own Dubai it
zamani is a Palestinian brand, born in Dubai, built on one idea: heritage should be something you wear every day, not something kept in a drawer.

1 band
The first order on our store. A keffiyeh watch band, going to an address in the UAE.
Today
12,000+
Orders packed in Dubai and sent to more than 40 countries.
Every one of them still leaves from here. So when it came to making a band about the city itself, there was only one way to do it.
The city, seen from above
Seen on a map, Dubai has a shape you cannot mistake. Palm-shaped islands built out into the sea, smaller ones dotted past them, and streets ruled in straight lines behind the beach. We took that outline as it is.
It runs the full length of the band. At a glance it is a bold black and cream print. The second look is when people start pointing out where they live.
Three ways to wear it
The same map, made for whatever is already on your wrist, or for a wrist with nothing on it at all. Or take two of them together, in The Giving Movement set.
Apple Watch, Samsung and 20mm watches
The Dubai It band, printed on soft silicone. Two Apple Watch sizes, plus a 20mm version for Samsung.
WHOOP 5.0 and MG
The WHOOP band, printed on woven nylon. It clips onto the connector you already have.
No watch at all
The wristband. Reversible, ink on cream one way and cream on ink the other. One size.
Two Dubai brands, one map.
The Giving Movement Edition
The Giving Movement is a fellow Dubai brand, and we made two pieces with them: their own edition of our watch band, and the Dubai It wristband. This set puts the two together, so one coastline sits on your watch and another on your wrist.
- The Giving Movement edition watch bandFor Apple Watch in two sizes, or WHOOP 5.0.
- The Dubai It wristbandReversible and one size. It needs no watch, so wear it or give it away.
- A gift bagIncluded free with the set.
On zamani, the edition watch band comes only in this set.

For everyone who calls this city home
Born here, arrived last year, or long gone and still homesick. This is a small way to carry Dubai with you, or to hand it to someone who does.
Questions
It is how people in Dubai talk about getting something done: properly, quickly, and bigger than expected. The band borrows the phrase because it fits the city it maps.
The Dubai It band comes in two Apple Watch sizes, small for 38, 40, 41 and 42mm cases and large for 42, 44, 45 and 49mm, plus a 20mm quick release version for Samsung and most 20mm watches. WHOOP 5.0 and MG take the WHOOP version.
Printed, on every piece. The Apple Watch and 20mm bands are printed on silicone, the WHOOP band is printed on woven nylon, and the wristband is printed on woven elastic polyester.
Two pieces and a gift bag: the watch band in The Giving Movement’s edition, for Apple Watch or WHOOP 5.0, and the Dubai It wristband. The gift bag comes free.
We ship from Dubai, and most UAE orders arrive the next day. Delivery to other countries depends on the destination. These are typical times, not guarantees.
