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.

Steve...I'm liking the idea of doing a Bronze cased Moray very, very much.
I happen to absolutly love the bronze cased Anonimos (have to admit, I've almost pulled the trigger on one of those several times).
Looks like a fantastic option and the flexibility to build them in low numbers keeps them very exclusive.
Since you are going with the UNI5275 bronze that offers excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, will you also be offering a true waterproof strap (similar to the kodiak type straps)?
I like it!
