fake bronze edition
Bronze has a warmth that stainless steel simply cannot match, and the fake bronze edition leans all the way into that character. This replica pairs a solid bronze case with a dependable automatic movement, so you get the vintage dive-watch silhouette plus a living finish that darkens, speckles and shifts tone with every wear. It is made for people who want a watch that looks better after a year on the wrist than it did on day one.

Materials and Specifications
The case measures about 42 mm across and 13 mm thick, with 20 mm lugs and a 48 mm lug-to-lug span that sits comfortably on most wrists. The bronze is a genuine copper-tin alloy rather than a plated finish, so edges stay crisp and the metal develops its own patina instead of flaking. Inside runs a 28,800 vph automatic movement with roughly a 40-hour power reserve, protected by a screw-down caseback in 316L steel — that steel back is deliberate, since it keeps the copper alloy off your skin while the case sides age. The bezel clicks firmly through 120 positions, and the domed sapphire sits slightly proud for that period-correct profile.

Does the bronze case really change color?
Yes. Bare bronze oxidizes on contact with air, sweat and humidity, shifting from a bright gold tone toward a deeper brown with darker patches around the lugs and bezel edges. The change is gradual and personal — wear pattern, climate and skin chemistry all influence it.
Will bronze leave a mark on my wrist?
Copper alloys can leave a faint green tint on skin, especially in hot weather or during workouts. The steel caseback limits contact, and the mark washes off with soap and water.
How do I keep the finish even?
Wipe the case with a soft dry cloth after wear and avoid harsh polishes. If you prefer the original bright look, a light rub with lemon juice or a jewelry cloth resets the patina so it can develop again.
