Project 901 RWB Rotana
DNA Edition
The 901 RWB Rotana is a limited-edition timepiece made from Akira Nakai’s radical purple Porsche 993 – a turbocharged machine designed to break every rule of restraint.
Created in close partnership with Nakai-san and the RWB team, this watch reflects the untamed style and unapologetic performance of his personal race car – the Rotana – originally inspired by a moment on the streets of the UAE.
After witnessing a purple Lamborghini blur past the glittering towers of the Rotana hotel group, Nakai-san found the color and name that would define his boldest build yet. The result is pure adrenaline, on four wheels – and now, on your wrist.

Metamorphosis
Of an Icon
Nakai-san is a cult figure in the automotive world, best known for his radical transformations of classic Porsche 911s. With hand-built wide-body kits and aggressive stance, his conversions blur the line between performance machine and expressive sculpture.
The Rotana is no exception – a turbocharged 993 in defiant purple. Unapologetic, personal, and iconic.
Repurposed
Original Hoods
Every hood Nakai-san removes is saved – not discarded. Stacked in his garage in Kashiwa, they form a growing archive of automotive transformation.
From this archive, select panels were donated to REC and reborn as dials in the 901 RWB Rotana. The past, preserved and reimagined.
Disruptive Down to Its
DNA
The 901 RWB Rotana channels everything that makes the car unforgettable. From its 44 mm case and wide-body inspiration to the black-and-purple livery and raw metal dial – this watch is loud, fast, and intentional.
Limited, provocative, and precise. It wears like a manifesto.
