Arnold & Son Continues Timekeeping Legacy with the Unveiling of the Refined Globetrotter 42 Steel

Arnold & Son, a watch brand renowned for embodying a pioneering spirit, continues to impress with the release of its latest creation - the Globetrotter 42 Steel. This novel timepiece stands as a testament to the brand’s rich history and its continued drive to infuse functional innovation into its creations. Dating back to the time of Captain James Cook, Arnold & Son’s marine chronometers played a crucial role in calculating longitude during sea travels, underlying the brand’s long-standing association with explorative endeavours and precision timekeeping. Embodying this spirit of exploration, the Globetrotter line showcases timeless world timers crafted with a commitment to precision and aesthetics.

The new Globetrotter 42 Steel offers two exquisite dial options - Strand Blue with rhodium accents and Greenwich Green with gold details. At the heart of these models sits a remarkable, rotating three-dimensional dome, an homage to the world’s northern hemisphere. This artistic depiction of the earth rotates, completing a full turn every 24 hours, allowing the wearer to read world time seamlessly. The new city ring further aids in aligning with the bead-blasted 24-hour ring and the hour hand pointing to Roman numerals on the outermost 12-hour ring for accurate local time reading.

Powering the intricate operations of the Globetrotter 42 Steel is the brand’s in-house calibre A&S6122 automatic movement. With a power reserve of 55 hours and a finishing in line with the brand’s impeccable standards, this movement promises excellence. It also features an engraved, skeletonised tungsten rotor, visible through the display back. The watch is accompanied by matching alligator leather straps and is limited to 88 pieces per edition, enhancing its exclusivity.
