Kobold Globetrotter Triple Calendar
Introducing an iconic timepiece: The Kobold Globetrotter Triple Calendar. Powered by a manual-winding movement, the Kobold Globetrotter displays the day, date, month as well as the phase of the moon. Its movement is the extremely rare Valjoux 89 from 1940. The movement is new old stock (NOS) and has never been used in a finished watch.
The Kobold Globetrotter case was designed by Gerd-R. Lang and used in his iconic Orea collection of timepieces. The refined design queues and proportions of the Globetrotter case, combined with the classic display offered by the Valjoux 89 movement make the Kobold Globetrotter an ideal dress watch when worn on a leather strap. When worn on the Original Kobold Canvas Strap, the Globetrotter is the perfect companion for every day.
The Kobold Globetrotter Triple Calendar is available to existing Kobold Watch customers at only $3,000. This presents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a unique timepiece with an extremely rare movement.
Following the passing of its founding father, master watchmaker Gerd-R. Lang, Kobold secured Mr. Lang's archive and case making tools, as well as a large quantity of vintage cases and movements from the 1920s, 1940s, 1950s and 1970s. To honor Mr. Lang and his significant contribution to the field of horology, Kobold is releasing a number of limited edition watches he envisioned but never completed or designed but did not bring to market.
The Kobold Globetrotter Triple Calendar ships in March 2026. Customer who place an order for this watch will receive a Kobold Spirit of America, Kobold Seal or Kobold Soarway Diver as a loaner watch within two weeks. The loaner watch may be worn and returned to Kobold in used condition at the time that the Globetrotter Triple Calendar ships.
The Globetrotter Triple Calendar arrives on Kobold's Original Canvas Expedition Strap. A calfskin strap and Kobold leather watch pouch complete the ensemble.
The watch is covered by a 10-year warranty against material defects and inferior workmanship.
