Bronze All-Star

An alloy of copper and tin, bronze is harder than iron. When exposed to moisture, it begins to oxidize, developing a patina, No two pieces of bronze jewelry are exactly the same; each will develop its own unique pattern. The downside to bronze — and copper — jewelry is the telltale green stain on the skin of the wearer. To eliminate the stain while allowing the patina effect, Omega developed their own bronze formula by combining 37.5% gold with palladium, silver and gallium with a copper and tin base. As a result, the entire 41mm gold case of the Omega Seamaster Bronze 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer will develop a very light rose tint as it is worn. While the materials used for the housing are unique to dive watches, the mechanism and function is traditional. A unidirectional bezel tracks elapsed time, large, easy-to-read hour, minute and second hands keep track of time, a clear sapphire caseback provides a view of the automatic mechanism in action, while a handsewn leather strap with buckle holds it securely in place; OmegaWatches.com.
