Qais Al Khonji — watch collection

About Qais Al Khonji’s watch collection

Qais Al Khonji is an Omani entrepreneur best known as the founder of Qais United Enterprises Trading and Genesis International, two ventures that have cemented his profile as a serious business figure operating out of the Gulf region. While specific details about the full scope of his commercial interests remain relatively private, his presence across regional business circles and his entrepreneurial output across multiple enterprises point to someone who has built his career through deal-making and company formation rather than any single corporate ladder. He represents a growing class of Gulf-based founders who operate with an international outlook.

When it comes to watches, the Qais Al Khonji watch collection — at least what has been visible to us — leans toward proven, specification-driven pieces rather than anything showy for its own sake. The one confirmed sighting in our database places him wearing a Rolex Submariner Oyster Perpetual reference 116610LN, the stainless steel version with a black dial and black Cerachrom bezel. That specific reference ran from 2010 until it was succeeded by the current-generation 126610LN, and its defining upgrade over its predecessor was the ceramic bezel insert — scratch-resistant, UV-stable, and cleanly engraved with a 60-minute elapsed-time scale. It is a Rolex that serious collectors and pragmatic buyers alike tend to respect, precisely because it does not need to announce itself.

Choosing the 116610LN over flashier alternatives — no gold, no gem-setting, no oversized case — tells you something about how Al Khonji presents himself professionally. The Submariner in steel has long been the reference point against which other sports watches are measured, and wearing one in a business context suggests a preference for function and credibility over decoration. With only one watch currently logged in our database, this collection profile will grow as more sightings come in.
