WATER RESISTANCE
Wristwatches that are resistant to water penetration up to the specified depth are referred to as "water resistant". "Water protected" means that the watch is resistant to splashing water or everyday (hand) washing only.
BRONZE
Bronze is a copper alloy that reacts when it is exposed to oxygen allowing a natural patina to form (oxidization). Natural oxidization of the bronze will gently provide varying degrees of coloration in brown, red, black, blue, or green hues that will give each Davosa bronze watch its own unique and distinguishing character
