We are great admirers of the Vertex brand heritage. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the end of WW2 and to honour the watches supplied to the war office by Vertex are launching the Bronze 75.
The timepiece is a bronze case version of the Vertex M100. In addition to the new case and hands, the Bronze 75 also uses a different tone for the Super-LumiNova to compliment the case colouring.
To know our watches were on the wrists of the soldiers, sailors and aircrew who 75 years ago through their bravery, tenacity and purpose liberated Europe and Asia is of profound importance to Vertex. The bronze case represents a fitting tribute to our Military service during World War 2, but of more importance the Bronze 75 will not simply tell you the passage of time but also show you, as the patina of the case slowly changes to take on a richer hue as the next 75 years pass”
Don Cochrane, Chairman, Vertex Watches
