KUOE Old Smith 90-002 Bronze Case Automatic 38mm Watch with Brown Dial #OS90002BZ-ND-BR-KB-LARGE

The case of this model is made of bronze. As the watch is worn, oxidization causes the bronze to gradually discolor and develop a patina over time. The degree of oxidization varies depending on the frequency of wear and the environment it is worn in, so the aging process is unique to your individual circumstances. Due to the nature of the bronze material, there may be some oxidization upon delivery. Please be aware of this in advance. No returns will be accepted for this discoloration.

What is the Swiss Super-Luminova? Super-LumiNova is a brand name under which strontium aluminate–based non-radioactive and nontoxic photoluminescent or afterglow pigments for illuminating markings on watch dials, hands and bezels, etc. in the dark are marketed. This technology offers up to ten times higher brightness than previous zinc sulfide–based materials. Super-LumiNova is based on LumiNova pigments, invented in 1993 by Nemoto & Co., Ltd. of Japan as a safe replacement for radium-based luminous paints. Nemoto & Co. was founded in December 1941 as a luminous paint processing company and has supplied paint to the watch and clock industry for over 70 years. (Wikipedia)
