Full Description

Brimming with historic references, the most striking of which is the vintage distressed 316L stainless steel outer casing, harking back to the steel paraffin pipelines and barrels of tar so successfully deployed to create the special government ‘Starfish’ Decoy Heath in 1942.

Tough, domed sapphire is deftly coated inside with multi-layer anti reflective ensuring perfect all-conditions visibility for the sterile (non date) dial with 1-12 bold numerals subtly embossed up from the dial surface for just the right visual depth.

Bold, steel framed, highly luminous hands, precisely reference minutes and hours with boldly pointed arrow shaped ends yet shed visual weight with a carefully waisted ‘yolk’ shape just before joining the centre movement spline.

SuperLuminova ensures instant night time visibility too, glowing perfectly for up to 8 hours.

Nestling inside sits our proprietary movement shock protection system for the Swiss Ronda movement ensuring total confidence and durability beyond any normal watch.

No need for a screw down crown.  Arne’s crown has 3 separate seals, always in operation no matter the position in or out of the watch case - every one having passed a submersion test at 200m in water.

Solid steel, easy change strap bars, bolted down ‘compressor’ case back and a soft touch genuine Alcantara strap that complements perfectly.

The ultimate field watch?

    Warranty

    We design and re-design every component to make watches that are fundamentally fit-for-purpose, minimising or eliminating typical points of failure such as spring bars breaking, straps snapping, or watches leaking - all potentially catastrophic failures.

    Any watches damaged in service can be repaired quickly and economically at our in-house workshop in Poole and returned to service with the minimum of disruption.

    Not only is our servicing world class, the warranty has no small print. It’s honest, comprehensive, and straightforward. The whole watch is covered for 5 years, not just the movement. The only exclusions are accidental damage, the battery and wear & tear.
