To celebrate Ahmed Seddiqi Sons’ 75th anniversary, Arnold Son has unveiled the Nebula 40 Steel, a 10-piece limited edition that feels both intimate and impressive. The 40mm steel case frames a skeletonised A&S5201 calibre where seven radiating bridges form a perfectly symmetrical display. It is a movement that looks alive, all balance, geometry and light.
Seddiqi’s story began in Dubai in 1950, and over the decades the family-run retailer has become a cornerstone of watch culture in the Middle East. This collaboration with Arnold Son reflects a shared belief in craftsmanship and design. The garnet flange with Eastern Arabic numerals, the gold-finished barrels, and the trio of interchangeable straps in steel, calfskin or fabric give the watch both presence and personality.
Turn it over and the details keep giving: polished bevels, palladium-plated bridges and twin barrels that deliver a 90-hour power reserve. Every edge, finish and surface feels intentional. The Nebula 40 Steel is a commemorative edition but also a meeting point between British heritage and Arabian vision, executed with the quiet confidence of true watchmaking.
