Revisited in size and functionality, the resulting Globetrotter 42 Steel has been finely reworked to offer dimensions that are more in line with modern wearing practices. Its 42 mm diameter steel case appears all the more balanced with its new thickness of just 15 mm, while the exceptional construction of its dial has been retainedVast and detailedThis ultra-graphic dial has also undergone subtle changes that have made it visually more striking and technically even more effective for international travel. The structure retains its famous, delicately curved arched bridge – crafted from steel and worked by hand –which can be considered the signature feature of the collection. The bridge demarcates the hours of the day and night on the 24-hour bezel ring and, with the ruby set in its centre, holds in place the dome representing the northern hemisphere as seen from the North Pole. On the dome, the metallic continents, which have been sunray-brushed to accentuate their relief, stand out clearly and strikingly against the oceans depicted in blue or green depending on the model.Arched and slenderAnother notable change made by the watch developers at Arnold & Son to this mobile dome – which rotates once every 24 hours and enables world time to be displayed – is the addition of a ring around its perimeter bearing the names of twelve reference cities. Each of these cities, from both the northern and southern hemispheres, is symbolised by its code placed opposite its location on the map. These indicators are intended to give texture to the planisphere and allow the user to instinctively visualise the time in the location of their choice, as it is read opposite the 24-hour transferred numerals on the fixed ring of the local time dial, which itself is read using the two arrows that peak out from under the world map.Manufactured and finely WorkedLike all movements bearing the Arnold & Son signature, it was entirely developed, produced, decorated, assembled, adjusted and cased up at the Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, the A&S6122 calibre features an engraved and finely openworked oscillating weight and is decorated with the traditional motifs of fine watchmaking. Its main plate is circular-grained, its bridges display radiating Côtes de Genève stripes, the wheels are satin-finished and the screws are chamfered and polished. It should be noted that its palladium coating offers a particularly interesting light-grey finish that perfectly complements the cases of the models it powers. These watches, with their sophisticated graphics and practical features for travellers, are worn on alligator leather straps in ‘ink’ blue or ‘Cornwall’ green depending on the model, and are fastened on the wrist with a classic stainless-steel pin buckle bearing the brand’s emblem.DOME OF THE EARTHCities: powdered, silver-finishContinents: sunray-brushed, rhodium-finishOceans: polished, ‘Strand Blue’Arch: steel, polished surfaces, chamfered, blued screws ## Appearance - **Colors:** Blue - **Materials:** Steel, Leather ## Variants - **In stock:** 1 of 1 - **Available:** Blue | Color | SKU | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | | Blue | 47168042401963 | In stock | ## Categories - **Categories:** New ## Additional Attributes - **Type:** Strap - **tags:** Globetrotter, Smart Search - **Color:** Blue - **Glass:** Domed sapphire, with an anti-reflective coating on both sides - **Hands:** Luminous - **Other:** Limited Edition of 88 Pieces - **Shape:** Round - **Gender:** Men's - **vendor:** Arnold & Son - **CH24 ID:** 14 - **Caseback:** Sapphire Crystal, with an Anti-reflecting Coating - **Material:** Leather - **Warranty:** 2 Year - **Condition:** New - **Functions:** Hours and Minutes, World Hours (24-hour ring) - **Thickness:** 15.1mm - **Buckle Type:** Stainless Steel Pin Buckle - **Dial Markers:** Blue Roman and Arabic Numerals - **product type:** New - **Movement Type:** Automatic - **shopify handle:** arnold-son-1wtbsk01ac0263s-globetrotter-42-steel - **Case Description:** Stainless Steel - **Dial Description:** Blue, sunray-brushed - **Reference Number:** 1WTBS.K01A.C0263S - **Water Resistance:** 30m (3 ATM / 99 ft) — suitable for Light splashes, not for swimming - **Case Diameter ⌀:** 42mm - **Strap Description:** Ink Blue Alligator Leather, Hand-stitched - **Movement Description:** Calibre : A&S6122, self-winding movement, 55 Hours Power Reserve ## Enrichment - **Type:** wristwatch - **Type Synonyms:** watch, timepiece - **Gender:** unisex - **Age Groups:** adult - **Tags:** analog, leather strap, steel case, world timer, globe dial, roman numerals, luxury watch - **Styles:** sophisticated, classic, formal - **Colors:** navy - **Color Families:** Blue - **Category Path:** Apparel & Accessories > Jewelry > Watches > Fine Watches - **Band color:** Blue - **Band pattern:** Solid - **Case color:** Silver - **Case pattern:** Solid - **Dial color:** Blue - **Dial pattern:** Geometric - **Watch case shape:** Round - **Watch display:** Analog - **Watch features:** Multiple Time Zones, Skeleton Dial, World Timer - **Watch material:** Leather, Stainless Steel - **Canonical Brand:** Arnold & Son ## Images - ![Image 1](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/bfd7c8661861c333eb468df5b59dbad5.webp) - ![Image 2](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/fb282b5227a753ea6309ca2f295b918c.webp) - ![Image 3](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/b05cae149a221533e2b279c273644d1c.jpeg) - ![Image 4](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/46ea5630fc854f4182b5801d1c9a83c7.webp) - ![Image 5](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/e6813626583780f06877c19d84846350.webp) - ![Image 6](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/75aaed5a72d2d3b2d5b8eaffef355312.webp) - ![Image 7](https://cdn.storerouter.ai/d55c03c2dd843226ac73ea9ea9869910/14c4a0cfd7b06051a5964c1a350ac500.webp) --- *Source: cosimo.shop | Product ID: b7732db0-268d-5946-86b4-12fdb993e0ba | Canonical URL: https://cosimo.shop/product/arnold-son/arnold-son-1wtbs-k01a-c0263s-globetrotter-42-steel-b7732db0-268d-5946-86b4-12fdb993e0ba*
