Handsome Devil
Bronze is the most rugged and romantic of metals, and suits a retro-styled field watch down to the muddy ground. Simultaneously ravishing and raw, the COSC-certified C65 Dune Bronze is a tough and individual timepiece, the contrast between its constantly changing bronze case and the gorgeous, ultra-precise sand wave surface of its new three-dimensional dial just growing stronger over time. Inspired by the mighty Dune du Pilat in Aquitaine, it delivers durability, individuality and precision in one ultra-wearable package, while the two new dial colours complement bronze’s glorious dull gleam perfectly.

The Dune Bronze is gorgeous on the outside, but just as impressive beneath its ever-changing case, where you’ll find the strong, durable Swiss-made Sellita SW200 COSC Automatic movement, officially designated a ‘chronometer’ by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, and therefore amongst the most accurate mechanical movements around.
Muted swan
Strong but sleek, robust but elegant, bronze is especially alive, a metal that naturally develops a unique patina over time, giving your Dune Bronze an intriguingly muted, antique feel – which pairs gorgeously, of course, with its dial’s rich colours and precisely polished indices. Hey, as everyone knows: opposites attract.
Dial up
Dune’s new face is brought to life by a striking three-dimensional horizontal wave pattern, built of two dozen or so stamped peaks and troughs – and, unique to the Bronze, combining a matte finish with a gradient effect, so the dial is lighter in the centre and darker at the edges, giving remarkable depth and distinctive character.
Tough luxe
Though it speaks of historic seafaring and ancient weapons, this most bewitching of case metals also brings the Bronze a subtle luxury that’s unique amongst the Dunes. The toughest, grandest and most evocative, all at once? We’d say so.
Case history
Dune’s 38mm case is large enough to be easily read, yet small enough to neatly sidestep unwanted encounters with rocks and trees; even better, it looks great on any wrist.
Detail counts
Everywhere, you’ll find tiny improved details: these colours, those dials, and such small but telling design changes as the lack of a date window and the simplified seconds hand, without the Trident counterbalance. It all helps create a cleaner, less diluted, more harmonious design.
