The primarily red Arena QP PC GMT is an extraordinary watch, living up to the name of “grande complication” in its multiple functions. An elegant 45-mm wide polished titanium case with a brushed titanium bezel houses a multiplicity of dials and indicators. These include, first, the silver fanblade hands which show the hour and minutes. Hour markers appear, in yet another departure from tradition that Gerald Genta is renowned for, at the 8:00, 10:00, 2:00 and 4:00 positions only.

        At the top of the face is the second time-zone indicator, which can be set for any of the world’s time zones. It has a black background with Arabic numerals, set in two circles for odd and even hours on a 24-hour clock. Below this to the left and right are the brushed silver circular plates that indicate the weekday at left and the month at right. The names are engraved completely through the plates allowing the names to show clearly against the red baseplate of the watchface.

        At the 6:00 position is the date dial, configured in the same manner as the time-zone dial. Odd numbers appear on one circle, surrounded by the even numbers. The long slim numerals are black on a white background for high contrast and readability. A small broad tipped black arrow points to the dates.

        The entire watch dial is covered by Gerald Genta’s sapphire crystal, remarkably transparent and buffed to provide a nonreflective surface to facilitate reading the complex function dials at a glance.

        The internal movement of this Gerald Genta masterpiece is well up to the task. Comprising 27 precision jewels, and a cuproberyllium ring balance, linked to an escapement using the proven lever in line format, the movement is contained in a shell barely 5 mm in thickness. Each of the Arena PC GMT watches has a 45 hour reserve power capability to maintain the watch in perfect function when needed.

        The Arena QP Perpetual Calendar GMT watch is also available in two other color combinations. The black and brushed silver-gray model has a black alligator strap, and a polished platinum bezel. Its second time-zone dial is red with white numerals, while the perpetual calendar is configured exactly as the red PC GMT.

        The freshness and clarity of the blue and white Arena PC GMT appeals to both gentlemen and ladies who like a sporty multifunctional watch. It also features a polished platinum bezel. Its layout is very symmetrical, with the second time zone dial at top and the date dial at bottom in identical color configurations of an inner deep blue ring with white numerals, and an outer white ring with dark blue numbers. The pointers on both dials are vivid red for contrast.

        The unique configurations and color palettes of the Gerald Genta Arena Perpetual Calendar GMT wristwatches ensure they will be sought after by those who admire modern style and function in a personal timepiece.

        Along with such high-quality metals as eighteen-carat rose gold and beryllium, the Arena Chrono Quattro’s bezel is made of tantalum, prized for its resistance to corrosion. Tantalum, in addition to being hard and durable, also is hypoallergenic, making it valuable for use in watches. The case‘s rugged construction and gleaming finish is accentuated with engraved detail resembling the internal gear mechanisms of historic watches. A single crown is similarly carved at its base for simple screw-turn removal and reinsertion.

        The internal workings of the Arena Chrono Quattro are as durable and beautiful as the outside. A 37-jewel movement and lever line escapement provide remarkable accuracy and consistent function. The mechanism has a 45-hour self contained power reserve. The movement is covered by a dark gray cover with a precise perforated circle pattern.

        The four retrograde elements, set on multiple levels, which comprise the watch face are the seconds indicator, a shallow arc from zero to 60 across the top. On the right at the 3:00 position is the 30-minute indicator. At the centre bottom are a chronographic seconds gauge, and the retrograde date dial. On the left at the 9:00 position is the retrograde hours indicator. All of these have sharp, elongated black numerals on a rich rose gold background. Every dial marker, shaped like a fan blade or propeller arm, is colored vibrant red for maximum contrast. The overall layout evokes the console and controls of a high-performance aircraft. The tantalum bezel has a brushed finish and is dark gray in color, complimenting the design of the watch face. For optimum readability, scratch resistance and pressure tolerance, a crystal made of nonreflective transparent sapphire sheathes the face. All this performance is contained in a watch case that is just 45 mm across and less than 10 mm in thickness.

        This splendid and rugged watch features a highly flexible and comfortable band of deep brown alligator leather. Alligator is known for its water and salt resistance, and creates virtually no friction with the cuffs of long-sleeved shirts. Not only is it a fantastic timepiece, it also helps prolong the life of its wearer’s wardrobe. The Arena Chrono Quattro, combining durability with refined elegance, can be worn for every occasion, and is a worthwhile investment for the gentleman with an active, fast-paced lifestyle. Gerald Genta retail shops are located in Geneva, Paris and Hong Kong.

        The fully automatic self-winding Arena Tourbillon, with its 3/4 dial and exposed tourbillon escapement at the base of the bezel, will be a conversation piece every time you display it. The Arena Tourbillon’s brushed platinum case, 45 mm in diameter, has an open weave construction, providing an ample showcase for the grande complication movement of the watch. Its exterior is trimmed with fluting resembling notched gears, enhancing its high-tech appearance. The hour hand moves in analog fashion clockwise around three-fourths of the dial. Upon reaching hour 6 on the right side, the retrograde action sweeps it quickly back to the number 6 on the left side of the watch once more to mark off the next twelve hours of operation.

        The tourbillon escapement, found only in the highest quality timepieces, compensates for gravity and ensures uninterrupted running when the wristwatch is moved from a vertical to a horizontal position. This prolongs the life and accuracy of the internal mechanisms of the watch. The tourbillon’s rotation once per minute allows it to function as the axis for the vivid red sweep second hand mounted on it. Crafted and set in 18-carat yellow gold, the tourbillon and the seconds dial contrast dramatically with the gray and silvery colors of the rest of the watch face. A 54-jewel handcrafted internal movement enables smooth, accurate timekeeping in a case that measures a mere 5.9 mm (about one-quarter inch) thick.

        The Arena Tourbillon’s brushed palladium and anthracite face is accented by crisp white Art Deco-style numerals and features the beaded design around its circumference that has become a Gerald Genta design trademark. Shielded by a non-reflective sapphire crystal, this is a strikingly elegant and easily readable timepiece. The single crown mounted on the right side is beaded so it can be gripped and extended easily.

        Supported by a supple black strap crafted of alligator, with a secure folding clasp, this watch is both supremely comfortable and enjoyable to wear. Water-resistant to a pressure of 10 atmospheres, the Gerald Genta Arena Tourbillon can be worn while engaging in any activity, whether fast-paced water sports, a crucial meeting or that special night on the town. A 64-hour power reserve maintains the watch’s functions when required.

        The Gerald Genta Arena Tourbillon also comes in a ladies’ model. Its slim, highly polished platinum case is surrounded by two rows of fine diamonds totalling 102 carats; the white and platinum face is styled exactly like the gentleman’s Arena Tourbillon, and is worn on a smooth, snowy white alligator strap. Its retro design harks back to the earliest wrist timepieces for women, created in the 1920s. The elegant gentleman’s Arena Tourbillon PC model features a perpetual calendar. No matter which Arena Tourbillon wristwatch you choose, it will become a favorite to be passed down for generations to come.
