I have been a bit busy with the Remora, but Ralf and I have been talking about the Morays every day, the bronze case and the steel case version.

I was also contacted by a number of people, they all told me they would prefer the black details with the bronze case. One of them was 3T wis MACBRAD who previously owned a bronze diver and said the black would look the best.

For the steel version, we will have the polished hands and an optional orange minute hand for the black and blue dials, I will be showing these steel designs soon, but for now I want to get the bronze going so we can make a few of them.

I noticed the other day that my Katana from Japan has bronze bits next to black bits and I really like the way it looks. I remember when I first got the sword and the bronze/copper bits were very shiny and I didn't like them as much as I do now that they are tarnished or have patina. I think the same for the watch, when it is new it will look shiny and the black crown and caseback will contrast with the shiny new case, but after a few weeks, the bronze will settle in and the black will compliment the tones very well.
