<p>As a material, Bronze has a glorious history, especially from about 3300 BC to 600 BC, it played a vital role in the evolution of human society. This period of history is even called the Bronze Age. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, and its main components remain unchanged until now. Of course, in the application of watchmaking industry, a certain proportion of aluminum is usually added. The advantage of bronze is that it has good ductility and is not as brittle as pig iron. It is very suitable for manufacturing various objects. At the same time, bronze is particularly resistant to seawater corrosion, so it has also played an extremely important role in the history of navigation.</p><p><br></p><p>Bronze is particularly popular for its patina, just like the display effect of this BR01 Skull Tourbillon <a href="https://www.jinhuashengwatch.com/bronze-watch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bronze watch</a>, which was designed and built by Bell & Ross for the Only Watch charity auction.</p><p><br></p><p>In the watchmaking industry, the application of bronze was originally not common. The first person to launch a bronze watch in the consumer market was the industry legend Gerald Zunda. Gerard Zunda is not only a watch designer, but also founded the brand of the same name. Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak conceived by him have become enduring classics. The Gefica Safari bronze watch is inspired by African culture and natural beauty, and is even paired with an elephant leather strap (which now seems to be controversial). There is no doubt that Gerald Zunda is the trend leader, because it is not until a long time later that more brands produce bronze watches.</p><p><br></p><p>Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3-Day Power Reserve Automatic Bronze Watch</p><p><br></p><p>Beginning in 2011, Panerai added the bronze case watch to its product list. The brand has a close connection with the ocean, which is particularly evident in the Submersible series. Bronze gives the Panerai watch a unique appearance. The new color is warm and rich, close to gold; but with the passage of time, the bronze will gradually be stained with patina when the case is exposed to various environments. This oxide film can protect the underlying metal from corrosion, but the oxidation process of each watch is different, and the final look and feel is also very different. The bronze case has therefore become the current hot trend and is welcomed by watch connoisseurs.</p><p><br></p><p>Montblanc 1858 Series Geosphere World Time Bronze Watch</p><p><br></p><p>Because of its natural salt water corrosion resistance, bronze is particularly suitable for diving watch manufacturing. Nowadays, more and more other types of watches are also equipped with bronze cases. As early as many years ago, Montblanc imitated Gerard Zunda and introduced bronze into watchmaking. Last year, the brand added a number of bronze watches with the theme of mountain adventure to the 1858 series. Through ingenious design, we can appreciate the retro beauty of Minerva timepieces from the 1920s to 1930s. The same is true for the Zenith Pilot Type 20 Extra Special bronze watch. The extra-large onion crown shows its personality. After the baptism of time, the unique patina will only increase its charm.</p><p><br></p><p>IWC Pilot Series Bronze Watch</p><p><br></p><p>Perhaps this is also the reason why IWC chose bronze to create the Spitfire Pilot's Watch. Bronze does not contribute much to the functionality of the pilot's watch, but it looks great. Since green is the main hue of patina, IWC equipped the Spitfire Pilot Bronze Watch with a green dial to maintain readability while giving the watch a new look. All of the above have proved the status of bronze in the watchmaking industry-although it may never replace stainless steel, it has shown lasting vitality and can retain its place in the past, present and future.</p>
