The Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 41.5 Red Gold Year of the Dragon is the second model the brand is dedicating to the Chinese New Year. That year starts on the 10th of February 2024 and the Wooden Dragon is the symbol of this year’s Chinese zodiac calendar. The other model is the Arnold & Son Luna Magna Red Gold Year of the Dragon with a 3D moon, this model has a large perpetual moon.
It comes in black or blue with a dial of aventurine glass. Which is a quartz material that has translucency and platy mineral inclusions. Which gives the dial a shimmering or glistening effect. A&S has strengthened that effect with metallic powder to give the dial and background of the moon a star-studded air. The dragon in 18-carat 4N red gold is draped underneath the moon phase.
