BRONZE PATINA URINE SERIES

Despite this screw-down crown, however, these cases offer only 50 meters of water resistance.

Once this case develops some patina, however, this two-tone look might well soften. While this may have something to do with different strengths or wear resistances necessary for a heavily handled part like the crown, it’s a touch jarring at first glance. Rather than the soft pinkish alloy used for the case, Oris uses a different bronze with a vibrant orange tone, leading to come notable visual mismatch on the wrist. One new quirk, however, is the bronze crown at 3 o’clock. Although this isn’t the first time this case has been made in bronze, the warm material changes up the personality of the Big Crown Pointer Date in a striking way, playing up the vintage character of the design and reinforcing some of its quirkier aspects.

BRONZE PATINA URINE SERIES

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date line is no stranger to bronze cases, and the 40mm cases of these new models follow the classic look of the series with strong tapering lugs and that instantly recognizable fluted bezel. Bronze changes color as it ages, and for this reason, a lot of people like it, since its wearing experience isn’t predictable. In addition, it has a warm color that is akin to gold, while being more interesting than plated or colored steel. That said, bronze has personality, precisely due to all of its imperfections. Compared to stainless steel, it’s softer, weaker, and discolors over time. The watches are handsome and offer an intriguing alternative to steel or gold, along with being a solid mid-priced option, given the use of sourced Swiss Made automatic movements.įrom a purely practical perspective, bronze is a rather subpar material for watch cases. Today, Oris introduces a new collection of its Big Crown Pointer Date watches, featuring both a bronze case and matching bronze bracelet. Over the last several years, the watch industry has embraced bronze as a material for watch cases, and in some instances like these Oris watches, as a bracelet material as well. I wonder if the WC one is brown because it is a different brand/metal or because it already had the brown patina before it got installed.Swiss independent brand Oris has been on a roll lately with bronze watches, a niche that it has found success in. The brown one was replaced when I got the boat 4-5 years ago and is a Wilcox Crittenden while the others are Merrimans. I have my cranse iron off right now and of the 4 bronze turnbuckles, 2 are green and crusty, 1 is more in the dark green direction, and one is dark brown. I don't have any horse piss readily available and I was wondering if anyone has any information on this? (Yes, I've heard of Wrights copper cleaner, but haven't found any yet.) I've read in old posts that bronze goes brown in freshwater and green in saltwater, that polishing/buffing might be necessary for a good patina, and that you might be able to get parts to patina with 'horse piss'. What I wonder is whether there is a way to get your bronze to patina the way you want? I like the dark brown and smooth or dark green and smooth patina, but I usually get the crusty, light green patina. I have noticed that patina comes in several types.
