Return to the Bronze Age with the new Luminox Sport Timer limited edition automatic bronze watch.
Bronze Case — Distinctive Style
The patina of every bronze watch will be entirely unique to each watch owner and depends on the environment (oxidation is faster in more humid climates), the type of wear (how intensely the watch is used) and the wearer’s own body chemistry. It is this distinctive style that makes the new Luminox Bronze Sport Timer irresistible to devoted watch collectors.

Design Details
The bronze gives it a vintage, precious look, but it is combined with modern anti-reflecting sapphire crystal, black sandblasted ceramic ring on the unidirectional turning bezel, and 15 LLT’s (ensuring visibility in the dark for up to 25 years - no charging needed), making this timepiece usable in almost any modern day (or night) condition.
Movement
Automatic SELLITA SW 220-1 Movement. Powered by the wearer, this Swiss-made Automatic Timepiece has a 38 hour power reserve.
There are many easy do-it-yourself methods to polish a bronze watch that can be found online and although these methods may prove successful, it is always recommended that a bronze watch is cleaned by a professional. This may avoid any unnecessary damage on the watch as the patina actually serves to protect the case. Removing it makes the case more vulnerable to environmental influences and could lead to potential damage.
The most common do-it-yourself method is cleaning it with lemon or vinegar and salt: Mix the salt with either fresh lemon juice or vinegar. Then use a toothbrush to gently rub the mixture onto the bronze case of the watch. (It is best to use a soft toothbrush.) Afterwards, rinse with lukewarm water, of course after making sure the crown of the watch is properly closed.
Packaging
Packaged in our signature Luminox box, the watches will be sealed in vacuum bags. As soon as these bags are opened, the patina (oxidation) process begins.
