1977P02166
Blue
The Arsène 1977P02166 watch relies on the harmony of blue to affirm a controlled tone-on-tone style. Its smoked blue dial is crafted with a Clous de Paris pattern engraved at 45°, reflecting light with structure and regularity. This dynamic texture extends onto the blue FKM strap, also textured, creating a contemporary aesthetic continuity.
Inspired by the universe of Arsène Lupin, this version expresses precision, movement, and modernity
41 mm 904L steel case, folding clasp, FE1977-11 caliber visible under sapphire case back, production in Maîche, and Origine France Garantie certification: every component expresses a technical exacting standard and a perfectly assumed audacity.
The smoked blue dial is at the heart of the visual signature of the 1977P02166. Its sunburst surface with a radial effect, combined with the 45° inclined Clous de Paris engraving, creates a rich texture that subtly captures and modulates light. This surface work produces an alternation of sharp reflections and calmer shaded areas, reinforcing the overall readability. Applied indices, three-edged faceted hands in Super-LumiNova, and the integrated date window perfectly fit into this graphic dynamic. This dial, both technical and refined, gives the watch a real personality.
Logoed PL seconds hand, red number 7, fluted screwed crown with 19 notches, and France map punch on the case middle: the codes of 1977 are present with coherence. It is these details, little visible at first glance, that anchor the watch in demanding watchmaking, without compromise.
The 41 mm case features a careful alternation of finishes: vertical satin-finished bezel, mirror-polished chamfers and curved sides. Each surface has been precisely machined to capture light differently depending on the angle. With its contained thickness of 10.30 mm, the watch retains a beautiful finesse despite its asserted presence. Designed for daily use, it combines resistance, balance, and elegance. Water resistance to 100 meters is guaranteed by a discreet screwed crown, perfectly integrated into the case line. This robust 904L steel construction, which is denser and more corrosion-resistant, signals a desire for durability.
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
Discover the movement
At the back, the screwed sapphire case back reveals the France Ébauches FE1977-11 automatic movement. Produced in Maîche, it symbolizes the renewal of the French watchmaking sector. This reliable and precise caliber beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers a 44-hour power reserve. Its tricolor oscillating weight is cut with the 1977 logo and carefully decorated, providing a strong visual signature. Individually numbered, each watch testifies to a high level of finish, in compliance with French mechanical craftsmanship.
This reference belongs to the second generation of 1977 watches and is engraved “Millésime 2026.” Inside, it bears an inscription in 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.”)
This message, engraved on the case back, reflects the brand’s vision: creating timepieces that are durable, balanced and crafted with precision. Like a true watchmaking Millésime, this edition combines exacting manufacturing standards, exclusivity and a strong cultural signature. It is intended for connoisseurs who see their watch not only as a statement of style, but as an expression of conviction.
The Origine France Garantie certification distinguishes the Arsène 1977P02166 watch as a creation deeply rooted in its territory. Designed, manufactured, and assembled in France, it incorporates a movement manufactured in Maîche from components from the Jura region. This label attests that at least 50% of the product's value is of French origin, according to strict specifications. It reflects the industrial commitment of the 1977 brand, its support for local know-how, and its desire to offer a premium and responsible watchmaking alternative.
The blue FKM strap perfectly extends the Clous de Paris texture of the dial. This continuity of pattern, rare in the watchmaking world, creates a powerful visual effect. The FKM material is recognized for its resistance to heat, perspiration, and extreme conditions: ideal for active and demanding wearers. Comfortable, flexible but firm, it conforms to the wrist without compressing it. Its color, slightly matte, echoes the tone-on-tone elegance of the dial. The 904L steel folding clasp, engraved with the 1977 logo, ensures precise adjustment and reliable fastening. Every detail of the strap has been designed to combine design and intensive daily use.
The Arsène watch is delivered in a brown nappa leather travel case, designed with the same care as the timepiece it protects. Compact and robust, it resists shocks and repeated handling, while maintaining a sober and elegant style. Its magnetic closure, soft interior, and reinforced structure guarantee optimal protection during travel and daily life. This case is a logical extension of the 1977 universe: functional, durable, refined. Designed to follow its owner everywhere, it valorizes the watchmaking object with coherence and exacting standards.
