Owners talk.

“

The Arcanaut Arc II – Fordite "Killer Cone" is praised for its visually striking, unique, and handmade Fordite dial, which offers a gemstone-like allure derived from automotive paint waste. Reviewers note the dial's artistic nature, balanced by a restrained Scandinavian case design with a sandblasted and polished finish. The watch features a 40.5mm case and 100m water resistance. One reviewer flags that the dial's artistic design compromises legibility, drawing a comparison to a Movado Museum Dial. The watch is priced at $3,950 USD. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Arcanaut Arc II – Fordite "Killer Cone" for its unique artistic dial and design, despite legibility concerns.
