Globetrotter 42 Steel Strand Blue: travel watches by Arnold & Son

With the Globetrotter 42 Steel Strand Blue, Arnold & Son has created a contemporary travel watch with a striking design. Limited to just 88 pieces, this creation pays tribute to the legacy of John Arnold, a pioneer in maritime navigation instruments in the 18th century. Compact, refined, and functional, it accompanies today’s travelers as it did yesterday’s explorers.

A redesigned case for modern comfort

With its new 42 mm diameter, the Globetrotter gains in balance and finesse (only 15 mm thick), without losing any of its graphic identity. Its steel case highlights a spectacular dial, dominated by a northern hemisphere globe that rotates in 24 hours. The hand-polished and hand-crafted arched bridge symbolizes the collection’s signature while marking the hours of the day and night.

London blue at the heart of the design

The Strand Blue model takes its name from the famous London street “Strand,” where John Arnold had his shop. The deep blue oceans contrast with sunlit metallic continents, offering a striking relief. A peripheral ring displays 12 reference cities, allowing the world time to be read instantly opposite the 24-hour scale. A true luxury GMT watchdesigned for globetrotters.

A high-performance manufacture movement

The watch is powered by the A&S6122 caliber, an automatic movement developed and decorated in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Its 55-hour power reserve and high-end finish (radiant Côtes de Genève, pearled plate, polished screws) are testament to Arnold & Son’s craftsmanship. The engraved openwork rotor adds an aesthetic touch that can be seen through the sapphire crystal case back.

Traveling elegance

Fitted with an ink blue alligator strap, the Globetrotter 42 Steel Strand Blue combines watchmaking sophistication with a spirit of adventure. More than just a travel watch, it is an invitation to conquer the world with style and precision.
