What to know
The D’Arc Roast’s brown dial is made from actual coffee beans ground into powder, mixed with a UV-resistant binding agent and pressed into blocks that can be machined. The material’s irregular texture is paired with heat-bronzed steel hands and cream-coloured LumiCast markers, giving the Arc II an unusually warm character.
The steel case is 40.52 mm wide and spans 49.06 mm lug to lug. A Soprod M100 automatic movement provides a 42-hour reserve at 4 Hz, while a domed sapphire crystal and 100-metre rating support everyday use. Limited to 33 pieces, the edition also has a luminous coffee-cup medallion on its case back.
