Vostok-Europe knows how to build a bronze watch. Bronze has become a staple of their collection and it not only looks awesome, it makes for the most rugged of watches. Vostok-Europe only uses marine-grade bronze, which means the alloy is of the greatest strength and resiliency in water situations. Vostok-Europe uses only phosphor bronze, which uses sulfur as the doping alloy of the copper and gives the bronze a tight grain and deep, red color. This model of Almaz in the bronze is one of the most dramatic of color combinations Vostok-Europe watches. The high end chronograph movement and high grain leather strap give the wearer a top-quality experience, with 200 meter water resistance to make it professional grade.

Attention!!! These watches are manufactured in genuine bronze. Bronze is a highly machinable copper alloy that ensures the highest quality standards of case construction in your new Vostok-Europe watch. As copper and tin are key components of this alloy's construction, the final composite metal is subject to oxidation. As such, after a few weeks of wear, these watches will develop a "patina." This patina can produce a variety of colors on the metal surface and, in so doing, make each bronze Vostok-Europe piece a unique item with distinct case colorization that will be the personal reflection of the wearer. However, should you prefer the absence of a patina on your watch, the case can be polished with any professional bronze polishing paste. We do not recommend doing so, but it is an option. The photos above represent the "new" and "aged" look of the watch for your review and consideration. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions that you may have on this unique and one of a kind timepiece!
