Bronze is highly-resistant to corrosion (particularly from sea water) and is also more resistant to constant load when compared to steel. Both qualities seem perfect features to apply to a dive watch, which is exactly what Zelos Watches out of Singapore created with their third crowdfunded watch, the Abyss automatic diver. To be able to achieve the extremely high depth rating of 3000 meters, the Abyss 43mm case is made out CUSN8 bronze, 18mm thick with a double-domed, 7mm sapphire face, waterproofed and sealed with 5 gaskets and a double o-ring system. The Abyss's engine is Citizen's Miyota 9015, an inexpensive but highly-regarded movement often compared to Swiss ETAs. A little under two weeks is left to pledge for the Abyss, which includes a leather carry roll, two straps, and choice of face color.

Bronze, huh? Neat! Seems reasonably priced considering the features and materials.

And 3000m dive rating isn't something you see every day, either!

Right?! That's getting down into sea monster territory. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure the kraken is said to live in even shallower waters...

Took me a moment to realize you weren't talking about watch names, haha!
