The Combat Vintage Bronze Black flaunts a 42mm bronze case, gracing this watch with a vibrant retro look. As the CuSn8 marine grade bronze material used undergoes natural oxidisation, its case shows off a patina over time which individualises each timepiece. With a height of 10.6mm, a short lug to lug length of 49.5mm and downward curving lugs, this watch rests handsomely on most wrist sizes.
Powered by a GL224 Swiss automatic movement which is based on either the ETA 2824-2 or SW200-1, operating at 28,800 bph (4 Hertz) with hacking and hand winding capabilities, the Combat Vintage Bronze Black has 25 jewels and a power reserve of 38 hours. This timepiece also features a flat sapphire crystal with three layers of anti-reflective coatings on its underside for greater legibility under any lighting conditions.

Finished with a full satin-brush, the Combat Vintage Bronze Black sports a unidirectional rotating bezel with a gilt-tone aluminium insert and a screw-down crown at its 3 o’clock which works flawlessly due to a larger screw tube used. This signed bronze crown and its steel screwed case back with “Combat SUB” engraved on it are responsible for this timepiece’s impressive water resistance of 200m.
Admire the sporty matte black dial elevated by a shiny black bezel. This textured dial also flaunts a red date window at its 4 o’clock. Furthermore, its rose gold signature diver handset, Arabic dial indexes and pip at 12 o’clock are painted with light radium brown SuperLuminova that glow green in the dark.
