The Return of Black Badger Composites
The Arcanaut Arc II — D'Arc Matter Pongo Orange is one of four exciting new colours joining the D'Arc Matter family in 2023.
Inspired by the beguiling natural patterns of Scandinavian slate, James Thompson, AKA The Black Badger, created the D'Arc Matter composite material first seen in Arcanaut's 2021 D'Arc Matter Limited Edition release. Now, that same material returns with our new stainless steel "Grand Paw" handset (laser-cut and hand-finished in Denmark), and colorful Super-LumiNova, specially developed for Arcanaut by our Swiss partners RC Tritec.
Housed in a 316L stainless steel case CNC-milled and assembled in Copenhagen, the Arcanaut Arc II — D'Arc Matter Pongo Orange has a matte micro bead blasted finish, with hand-polished highlights applied in-house by our Danish watchmakers. The case features Arcanaut's signature "Pentablock" crown, the shape of which follows the form of the Arc case perfectly.
Powered by the Swiss-made automatic Soprod A10, the Arcanaut Arc II – D'Arc Matter Pongo Orange has an operating frequency of 28,800vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.
The D’Arc Matter Pongo Orange will only be produced in small annual batches. Collective Shop has a limited allocation available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
