“I designed this watch for people, who adore vintage watches’ aesthetics as much as I do. The idea is to focus attention on a CuSN8 classic cushion shape bronze case large and solid with no bezel. Unique features are the comparatively small dial and digits etched directly on the 45mm case. From this layout we can see a lot of bronze surface. This material has amazing patination possibilities, which will create a unique look for each timepiece with use. It has a durable and time-approved Japanese Seiko NH35A automatic movement with date indicator. The 20BAR waterproof case allows for the watch to be used for scuba diving. I hope you enjoy this piece of art!”
“Sandwich dial construction is a traditional solution for military watches. It is difficult to damage the hour markings with an accidental hit or drop. Bronze is also a traditional military material because it does not glint in sunlight, and CuSN8 bronze is highly resistant to salt-water corrosion.”
