So, Bronze is in !!!

It seems every few years watch cases get "Exotic". I mean a few years ago Ceramic was the "IT" material and before that Titanium/Tantalum (Even Carbon Fiber for a hot minute)- Well, now Bronze is the coolest material!

So, What is Bronze ?
is a metal alloy consisting primarily of copper, usually with tin as the main additive. It is hard and brittle, and it was particularly significant in antiquity, so much so that the Bronze Age was named after the metal.

So, what's so great about Bronze?
One Word.
