Top 5 bronze watches for the ones who would like to mark the summer with living watches!
Bronze watches are under the intense interest of watch enthusiasts since the day they took their steps to the market. Models with the appearance of changing over time and the impression having an object living on the wrists, are among the most exclusive collections of many brands.
It is quite possible to mix a bronze watch with a pink gold one when you take it out of its box. Because of its high specific weight and its content of copper, we are talking about watches that make their selves felt on your wrist with their both beauty and weight. As you continue to use the watch, the surface of the case begins to oxidize, depending on the climate and environmental conditions you are experiencing. And it’s exactly the point where the most fun part comes. Every watch with the bronze case darkens in different tones over time, achieving new patterns and therefore a characteristic appearance. Even better, this image can be completely reversed, then again at home environment.
