Over the years, <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/search\/arnold+nebula\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the concept has been refined<\/a> (and downsized) without losing its architectural clarity. Marking 75 years of Dubai\u2019s landmark retailer, <a href=\"https:\/\/monochrome-watches.com\/category\/ahmed-seddiqi-sons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ahmed Seddiqi<\/a>, the Nebula returns in a steel 40mm special edition that folds regional cues into the design while keeping the line\u2019s signature restraint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Arnold-and-Son-Nebula-40-Steel-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-288234 lazy-images\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Arnold-and-Son-Nebula-40-Steel-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-1.jpg\"  data-\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The case, which is made of stainless steel, measures 40.00mm in diameter and 9.10mm in thickness, with rounded flanks and downturned lugs that wear slim. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides rises from a narrow bezel to maximise the view; a sapphire back mirrors the effect. Water-resistance is 30m. The overall impression, as always, is purposeful and uncluttered, an elegant frame for the mechanics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Arnold-and-Son-Nebula-40-Steel-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-288235 lazy-images\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Arnold-and-Son-Nebula-40-Steel-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-2.jpg\"  data-\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Colour and typography do the anniversary talking. A garnet-hued flange carries gold-finished Eastern Arabic numerals, a nod to Seddiqi\u2019s home city. The palladium-plated bridges echo the case metal, while the main plate and the two barrel covers are warm, gold-finished. The Nebula\u2019s hallmark layout remains: seven openworked bridges fan in toward the centre like a stellar map; the twin series-coupled barrels sit high; the small seconds and dial-side balance complete the equilibrium. Finishing is thorough, with polished bevels, alternating satin and shine on flats, circular-grained and chamfered wheels, mirror-polished screw heads, and the brand\u2019s \u201cRayons de la Gloire\u201d motif catching the light across the main plate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Arnold-and-Son-Nebula-40-Steel-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-288233 lazy-images\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Arnold-and-Son-Nebula-40-Steel-Ahmed-Seddiqi-75th-Anniversary-Edition-4.jpg\"  data-\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The hand-wound calibre A&amp;S5201 beats at a 21,600 vibrations\/hour frequency and delivers a 90-hour reserve, an unusually generous autonomy for a compact skeleton. Turn the watch over, and two intersecting, ogival steel bridges support the going train, continuing the architectural theme visible from the front.<\/p>\n<p>Three wearing options are included: a three-link steel bracelet with a folding clasp, a garnet calfskin strap, and a garnet technical fabric strap (both with steel pin buckles).\u00a0The Arnold &amp; Son Nebula 40 Steel Ahmed Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Edition is limited to 10 pieces and is priced at AED 101,000 (or about EUR 23,700).
