 Let's talk about this... A bronze alloy 1000m Moray that would be highly resistant against corrosion. This bronze alloy is used on naval ship parts and hatches that are exposed to sea water at all times.

The bronze will tarnish and Patina quickly into unique colors that would make each Moray have its own personality.

We can make these watches and they will need to be made 1 at a time, so we can make as few, or as many as are requested, but the cost of the Alloy case would put these watches somewhere around $1,400 more or less. Price is subject to change.

This Moray would have the ETA 2824-2 or better movement.

We will also be making brushed, blasted, polished, and PVD Morays in the future with the new Miyota 9015 and pricing similar to the first Moray.
