Orange and black, the contrast of character
Inspired by the elusive and asserted style of Arsène Lupin, the Arsène 1977P02138 watch claims an audacious and contemporary aesthetic. Its smoked black dial, crafted with a Clous de Paris pattern inclined at 45°, captures light in a marked graphic structure. This watchmaking texture extends onto a bright orange FKM strap, also textured, creating a unique visual continuity.
This strong contrast between sobriety and brilliance gives the watch a powerful, sporty character, perfectly suited to an active daily life. The 41 mm 904L steel case, the engraved sapphire case back, the France Ébauches automatic caliber, and the Origine France Garantie certification reinforce this technical and committed dimension.

An intense black dial with controlled texture
The dial of the Arsène watch is crafted in a smoked black finish, with a radial gradient reinforcing the perception of depth. Its 45° Clous de Paris texture is not just a decoration: it gives rhythm to the surface, channels light and provides geometric sophistication. The applied indices, faceted hands with Super-LumiNova®, and the date window form a legible, efficient ensemble, without being cluttered. The strong contrast between the dark dial and the luminous elements accentuates the sporty dynamic of this piece designed for action.
A technical and balanced case
The 41 mm 904L steel case combines robustness, finesse of finish, and comfort on the wrist. Vertical satin-finished bezel, mirror-polished chamfers, slightly curved sides: the contrasts of material highlight the precision of the machining. With a contained thickness of 10.30 mm, it remains perfectly balanced. Water resistance of 100 meters is guaranteed by a discreet screwed crown. This solid construction allows the watch to adapt to an active life while maintaining an elegant look.
Distinctive signs and 1977 DNA
Logoed PL seconds hand, red number 7, fluted screwed crown with 19 notches, and France map punch: all details subtly integrated into the watch's architecture. These elements, characteristic of the Arsène collection, make the link between design, territorial roots, and house aesthetic codes. A discreet but constant watchmaking signature, designed for lovers of meaning and precision.
An exceptional automatic movement, signed France Ébauches
Equipped with the France Ébauches FE 1977-11 caliber, the Edmond model guarantees remarkable watchmaking precision. Its automatic movement features a precision adjustment of +/- 7 seconds, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and offers a 44-hour power reserve. Its traversing bridge reinforces stability, while its double-cone Incabloc shock absorber protects the mechanism with absolute reliability

The 2026 Millésime
This edition belongs to the 2026 Millésime, the second collection signed 1977. Inside the case back, an engraving pays tribute to Victor Hugo: “L'avenir est une porte, le passé en est la clé.” (“The future is a door, the past is the key.”)
A quote that perfectly embodies the brand’s vision: the alliance of a distinctive aesthetic and the highest technical standards. This Millésime continues a watchmaking project designed to endure, evolve and inspire.
