Bronze, a copper alloy used for centuries in maritime materials due to its resistance to saltwater corrosion, ages beautifully over time. Each bronze watch develops a unique patina based on the wearer’s environment, usage, and body chemistry. This evolving, one-of-a-kind style makes the Luminox Bronze Sport Timer irresistible to collectors.

Founded on the Pacific Coast, Luminox set out to create the best dive watches in the world. That legacy continues with the Bronze Sport Timer. Bronze naturally forms a protective patina when exposed, enhancing both durability and longevity. Perfectly suited for the ocean, this Bronze dive watch is pressure tested and water resistant up to 200 meters, built to endure the elements.

The bronze gives it a vintage, refined look, paired with modern features like anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a deep navy sandblasted ceramic ring on the unidirectional bezel, and 15 LLTs for up to 25 years of visibility in the dark—no charging needed. This timepiece is ready for any modern-day (or night) adventure.

Packaged as a set, this timepiece comes on a brown leather strap with an additional navy-blue cut-to-fit strap, adorned with an IP bronze signature buckle.

There are many easy do-it-yourself methods to polish a bronze watch that can be found online and although these methods may prove successful, it is always recommended that a bronze watch is cleaned by a professional. This may avoid any unnecessary damage on the watch as the patina actually serves to protect the case. Removing it makes the case more vulnerable to environmental influences and could lead to potential damage.

The most common do-it-yourself method is cleaning it with lemon or vinegar and salt: Mix the salt with either fresh lemon juice or vinegar. Then use a toothbrush to gently rub the mixture onto the bronze case of the watch. (It is best to use a soft toothbrush.) Afterwards, rinse with lukewarm water, of course after making sure the crown of the watch is properly closed.

Packaged in our signature Luminox box, the watches will be sealed in vacuum bags. As soon as these bags are opened, the patina (oxidation) process begins.
