Arcange AS03 Field

The Arcange AS03 Field model is a fascinating interpretation of 1940s military watches, combining raw functionality with the elegance of a classic "sector dial". It is an ideal choice for those looking for a watch with a soul of history, yet requiring the reliability and durability of modern technology.

The main feature of the AS03 model is its anthracite black dial with a fine-grained texture that eliminates unwanted reflections. The hour ring has a circular brushed finish, creating a subtle contrast with the matte center. The distinctive Arabic numerals and Lozenge-type hands are filled with Super-LumiNova® C3X1 luminescent material in an "Old Radium" shade, which gives the watch an authentic vintage look with excellent readability even in the dark.

Although the watch is equipped with an automatic movement, the manufacturer managed to keep the overall thickness at just 9.5 mm (including the domed sapphire crystal). The 37.2 mm diameter case is made of 316L stainless steel and combines polished, brushed and sandblasted surfaces, creating a sophisticated visual contrast.

The Arcange AS03 Field is a versatile "GADA" (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) watch. It is durable enough for weekend adventures and elegant enough for business meetings.

Arcange is an independent French watch brand whose origin is linked to the personal discovery of its founder. As a child, he discovered his grandfather's watch from 1969, and this moment became an impulse for a lasting interest in the mechanics and aesthetics of classic watches. Arcange's designs therefore often feature elements inspired by vintage models, as well as the instrumental appearance of aircraft instruments.

The watches are finally assembled and checked in Besançon, the traditional center of French watchmaking, and are complemented by leather straps also manufactured in France.

From a technical point of view, Arcange primarily uses Miyota 9 series mechanical automatic movements, with some models supplemented by rotor decoration or a transparent case back. The brand is also characterized by so-called sector dials, restrained color schemes and a clean layout of elements, which refer to the French tradition of functional and clear design. The cases are usually steel, often with brushed surfaces and polished details that emphasize simple geometric shapes.

Arcange offers a look at contemporary independent watchmaking that builds on French tradition, works with technical details, and at the same time maintains its own, restrained design language.
