Representing a monumental milestone for the eccentric British watchmaker, this rare collectable is part of a strictly limited run of only 150 pieces worldwide. This reference introduces the brand's first entirely new case profile in 15 years, designed from the ground up and moving away from its historic dimensions to deliver a lighter, more versatile layout. The 40mm stainless steel case features an organic, nearly lug-less architecture finished in a stealthy gunmetal grey PVD with an advanced anti-fingerprint coating. A highly compact lug-to-lug length of 48mm and a sleek case thickness of 13.5mm guarantee an incredibly balanced, ergonomic, and architectural wrist presence. The case features a smooth, minimalist aesthetic, capped by a vertically brushed bezel inspired by the enduring precision and austerity of lighthouses. At 4 o'clock sits a signed screw-down crown engraved with a \"Beam of Light\" motif, helping secure a robust 200-metre (20 ATM) water resistance rating. A box-type sapphire crystal with multiple layers of anti-reflective coating sits flush over a striking, split-level black-and-grey dial. The painted, lacquered dial delivers a vibrant, high-contrast aesthetic, using Super-LumiNova C3 green-emission markings on the hands and inner chapter ring for exceptional low-light legibility. Ditching a traditional date window for pure symmetry, the dial cleanly lays out the time, while a dedicated, independently adjustable 24-hour GMT hand effortlessly tracks a second time zone. On the reverse, a flush-fit mineral crystal case back features a unique interior print of custom Schofield artwork, partially revealing the mechanics beating underneath. Inside lies the highly reliable automatic Seiko Cal. NH34A GMT movement, operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and utilising 24 jewels. The watch comes paired with two Schofield 22mm straps featuring a matching grey PVD Obscura-type tang buckle. The watch comes complete with its presentation box and official paperwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schofield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57464883708284,"sku":"THE DARK ONE","price":1495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_c559a96f-bff1-4fee-8f3a-8e2f9748980e.jpg?v=1789663347","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/2025-schofield-light-the-dark-one-automatic-gmt-40mm","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
