Arnold & Son unveils a new limited red gold edition of the DSTB (Dial Side True Beat) with traditional English frosted finish. The DSTB is a testament to its heritage, vision and Haute Horlogerie ingenuity. As part of the Instrument Collection, the DSTB like every other model from Arnold & Son, features an in-house mechanical movement. The specifically developed automatic movement showcases the true beat seconds’ mechanism entirely on the dial side.

Not just the hands, but also the lever, wheels and three red gold treated true beat seconds bridges are located in all their beauty on the dial side. Making the watch even more alluring is the fact that the true beat seconds lever is shaped like an anchor – paying homage to Arnold’s maritime achievements.
The true beat seconds are superbly indicated via a large sapphire dial that occupies the top left portion of the dial at 11 o’clock. At the 4 o’clock position, a silvery opaline subdial indicates the hours and the minutes via blued hands. These generously proportioned, overlapping indications translate into a stunning three-dimensional dial.
