Perhaps that’s why bronze divers seem to be falling like autumn leaves from the trees at the moment.
Here’s another just in case you were struggling for choice – the Bronze Monster from Detroit based, Shinola who’ve looked to the 1920s for inspiration for their newest Monster.
More specifically the American, Prohibition Era and the stealth of rum-runners on Michigan’s waterways, whoever they were.
The Shinola Monster gets a 43mm CuSn6 bronze case with a brushed finish. Its case-back is crafted from Stainless steel and features a matte black plate.
The phosphor bronze used for the Bronze Monster will eventually develop a patina; however when it’s new it will have a bright golden tone.
Shinola have kindly provided a couple of images of the Monster Bronze for comparison. Which do you prefer?
The watch gets a glossy black dial with SuperLumiNova indices. The dial also features a calendar aperture as well as a diver-down flag as the 12 o'clock marker.
It is powered by the Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, which features 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve.
The Bronze Monster is presented on a premium teak leather strap; however it is also supplied with a Khaki NATO with a bronze buckle and keepers.
The watch comes in a special gift box, that features a Shinola Detroit foil stamp, inspired by graphic designs and packaging of the 1920s.
The gift box also includes a printed story about Prohibition along the Michigan-Ontario waterway. MSRP is 1,650USD.
Thoughts? I quite like this, not because it’s bronze but because I quite like Shinola’s Monster family as a whole, but they are little pricey for what they are imo. What do you think?
