Inspired by John Arnold's historical chronometers, this 42.5 mm [titanium watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentissima-oursin) pays tribute to the watchmaker's pivotal role in maritime navigation. The design of the Longitude Titanium timepiece blends naval heritage with contemporary aesthetics and durable materials. The COSC-certified movement further ensures accuracy. The watch's ergonomic design draws inspiration from sailing boats, featuring curved lines and a basin-shaped case back. The dial layout, on the other hand, reflects John Arnold's marine chronometers and captures attention through the inclusion of luminescent hour markers and a power-reserve indicator. The colors of the dials are inspired by Cornwall, Arnold's birthplace. Individuals can choose between sandy golden, ocean blue, and fern green shades for the Longitude Titanium timepiece.
