A solid-gold chronograph may not be in everyone’s wheelhouse. But why not capture some of that sheen with a different left-of-center material?

The Divers 65 Chronograph Holstein Edition from 2020 is one solid piece — of bronze, that is. (It’s even got a matching bronze bracelet to boot.) Produced in a limited series of just 250 pieces, it follows hot on the heels of 2016’s Carl Brashear Limited Edition, the firm’s first bronze watch. Unapologetically heavy and brash, it’s a 43mm tool for the bold of wrist, and the perfect companion for someone who likes something a little different in a timepiece.

Powered by Oris' Calibre 771 automatic-winding chronograph movement, this example dates to 2020 and features a handsome gold-toned dial with lovely deep-blue subsidiary registers and applied Luminova indices, a matching handset, a matching bronze dive timing bezel, and a matching bronze Oyster-style bracelet. Of course, being a fully bronze watch, it’s heavily patinated — but that’s sort of the point!

With cool and characterful bronze construction, beautiful design, and function in spades — this is a limited edition that ticks all the boxes.

We're into it.
