Sounds gorgeous! Sadly between the bronze and COSC I don't think it'll be in my budget anytime soon though.

It’s on Twitter, too. I love bronze watches but I don’t love textures bronze bezels like that. You need to actively manage your patina for keep those looking good.

That style bezel and 600m WR puts it firmly in the C60 camp, but 40mm or 42mm?

I’d definitely prefer a (textured) black dial. If it was also COSC and 39-40mm I’d get my cheque book out immediately!
Keep well

I’d speculate on 42mm, given it already exists in a (albeit steel) 39mm Sealander!

I’d have thought that 40mm was more likely given that’s the size of the current bronze C60. Apart from the unique one off prototype that Guy and I each own.

Bronze and green looks like a great combination, but I don't understand how a dial can become disressed while under a sapphire crystal

I’ve been living in a protective bubble since March 2020, and I’m still distressed.

Wait until the bronze goes all manky then you can have green and green. And green wrists as a bonus! You could become the Green Man.

Then you could appear to have pubs named after you.

Neither do I. That's why I won't buy an Ombré dial watch.

I have a Laco Westerland with an Erbstuck dial, but that is aged not distressed.

If this is the next big release I'll be disappointed as neither bronze nor green nor ombre are to my taste.

Never mind, I'll wait patiently for something that is.

Where hearty chaps with chunky sweaters and gingery rat-nest beards quaff pints of real ale while singing off-key songs about fair maids from Amsterdam. They might even be wearing manky bronze watches with green dials.

You stole my line, Mick!

Is it known if the skin chemistry that patinas bronze quickly is the same as that which makes some people go black if they wear silver jewellery or is bronze patina more environmental?
