Well, just down the road from me her in Santa Barbara, Olivier Watches has set-up shop in Redondo Beach. This is their Bronze Dive watch -
Here are the details straight from Olivier -
Bronze is a “live” alloy, and over time will darken as it develops a natural patina. This patina is part of what makes bronze such a great alloy for nautical applications, and is what makes bronze such a unique material to use for watches; each watch will develop its own unique patina based on the different kinds of environment and conditions the owner exposes it to truly making the watch yours.
