The Cali Noir brings back one of our most sought-after finishes: the distressed vintage PVD case from the original Arne field watch, which sold out in just three minutes. Paired with a ceramic dial so deep black it feels almost bottomless, makes this a combination that's hard to ignore. The California dial, or "Cali dial", is instantly recognisable for its distinctive mix of Roman numerals on the upper half of the dial and Arabic numerals on the lower half. The design first appeared on military watches of the 1930s and 1940s, where its unusual layout was intended to maximise legibility and help reduce reading errors in demanding conditions. With this particular Cali Arne, we've taken the watch back to those military roots. The choice of straps lets you lean into its stealthy character: understated black leather, rugged olive webbing or, if you want to soften the look without losing the adventure-ready feel, premium off-white Alcantara.
