Omega’s first bronze watch! Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold patented bronze

What is the concept of both retro and luxury? OMEGA’s first bronze watch: the new Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold gives watch fans such a feeling. The case is made of a new patented material, bronze gold, which has the nostalgic beauty of bronze and the gorgeous luster of precious metals. In addition, the appearance of the old Seamaster in 1957 is close to that of the old Seamaster, making it an advanced luxury choice for retro watch fans.

The most curious thing about bronze gold is its color performance. In addition to copper, the main components of this new alloy are 37.5%, equivalent to 9K gold, and trace amounts of palladium and silver. The color presented is not like the yellow-green tone of bronze in general cognition, but is closer to rose gold.

The brand said that such a composition allows the alloy to maintain a natural patina, but without rust. Therefore, the new Seamaster uses bronze gold in the case, crown, buckle and bottom cover to emphasize the durability and skin-friendliness of the new material.

The old-fashioned color of the dial sets the tone for the retro style of the watch. The dark brown dial is made of bronze and is a sandwich dial. This was a compromise adopted by early watches to cope with the fact that the coating technology of luminous paint was not yet detailed enough, so you can see the hollow hour markers on the upper dark brown dial and the lower layer lined with an old beige luminous disc.

In addition, the crown is changed to a cone with a wide top and a narrow bottom. Although the change is small, the finger can naturally hold the crown inward. When the crown needs to be pulled out to adjust the time, the comfort of operation is greatly improved.

The 8912 automatic winding movement equipped with it adopts a cross-type balance wheel bridge, plus a large area of ​​plywood, and the structure is quite sturdy; it is also equipped with a coaxial escapement, a silicon hairspring, and a double barrel to provide a 60-hour power reserve. The movement has passed the METAS Master Observatory certification and has a high anti-magnetic force of 15,000 gauss. It is a specification that OMEGA has actively promoted in recent years, and few brands can match it.

In addition to the popular bronze and gold, the new Seamaster is also available in a stainless steel case version, with a lollipop second hand and an aluminum bezel, giving it the flavor of a 1957 watch and a more affordable price.
