Bamford London release a second limited-edition which will immortalise Popeye and his ubiquitous can of spinach on the dial of the Bamford London GMT.
Popeye the Sailor Man’s enduring legacy to fans has stood the test of time and an ever-changing world. For 95 years, Popeye has been celebrated as a mainstay of cartoon culture, and the world’s most famous spinach apologist.
Popeye accepts who he is; his limitations and his talents, as the traits that make him unique. He has a certain style that is recognisably Popeye, and he uses his strength to help others. He is what he is; a superhero before superheroes existed, whose only weakness is an iron deficiency. It is his fallibility and his humanity that have ultimately kept him relevant for nearly a century.
Bamford London, a brand synonymous with character watches, has designed this unique watch with a Guilloche dial in a steel case and presented on a steel bracelet. A Popeye watch can, of course, only be presented in one thing: a spinach can. The packaging for this watch is a work of art in itself.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of Popeye, and to create this watch is something I’ve been

It’s incredibly exciting.
