Elliot Brown Arne Cali Limited Edition Field Watch Collection
Elliot Brown has introduced the Arne Cali collection, a limited edition series of four colorful field watches inspired by Californian culture. These watches feature a distinctive "California" dial layout, using Roman numerals on the top half and Arabic numerals on the bottom half for enhanced readability. The collection pushes the brand's typically utilitarian aesthetic into more playful territory.
- Limited to 75 pieces per model
- Price: £395 (Phantom Horizon, Ocean Ombré, Psychedelic Trip)
- Price: £525 (The Woodie)
- 38mm stainless steel case
- 200m water resistance
- Swiss Ronda quartz movement
The collection features a "California" dial, a style originating from tool watches that uses Roman numerals above the 3-9 o'clock axis and Arabic numerals below for orientation.
The four models are themed after aspects of Californian culture: Phantom Horizon (aircraft instrument, Golden Gate Bridge colors), Ocean Ombré (Pacific sunset gradient), The Woodie (vintage station wagons), and Psychedelic Trip (tie-dye spiral).
The Woodie model is distinguished by a wooden dial and a gold PVD coated case.
The Psychedelic Trip dial design radiates from the brand logo, creating an intentionally off-kilter appearance.
The 38mm case size is noted as ideal for a field watch, balancing legibility with comfortable wrist movement.
The use of a Swiss Ronda quartz movement is justified for cost-effectiveness, accuracy, and convenience in this type of watch.
