The Phoibos Argo Series, already known for its rugged durability and sophisticated style, now enters a new chapter with the introduction of a case made from CUSN8 bronze, a material that adds depth, character, and a unique aging process to the watch. It is a testament to our innate curiosity and our relentless drive to push boundaries, question the world around us, and embrace the unknown.
Unlike traditional stainless steel or titanium, bronze offers a timeless quality that evolves over time, making each piece a personal reflection of its wearer’s journey. Bronze has long been a material associated with strength, resilience, and beauty. It is highly resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for a dive watch that needs to withstand the harsh elements of the sea. However, what truly sets bronze apart is its ability to develop a patina over time. As the watch is worn, the bronze will gradually darken and acquire a unique oxidized layer, transforming the watch into a one-of-a-kind piece. This patina is a mark of time, a visual record of the watch’s life, and it gives the watch an organic, ever-changing appearance that is different for each wearer. The Argo Bronze celebrates this natural process, making it a timepiece that grows more beautiful with age.
This timepiece is not only built to last outside but is equally reliable inside. It features the Miyota 9015 movement, which is known for its precision, reliability, and slim profile. This upgrade has allowed the watch to retain its robust design while becoming even thinner and more comfortable to wear. With a case diameter of 40.5mm and a thickness of just 12mm (excluding the glass), the Argo Bronze maintains a strong presence on the wrist without feeling bulky, which enhances the overall aesthetic of the watch, giving it a more refined, contemporary feel that’s perfect for both casual and formal occasions.
The dial of the Argo Bronze is where the true magic lies. The gradient color scheme is available in five striking variations: green, blue, red, orange, and purple. Each dial transitions smoothly from one rich tone to another, creating an effect that is both dynamic and mesmerizing. This gradient design is further enhanced by an embossed spiral sunray pattern that catches the light in different ways, adding an element of depth and texture to the dial. The color contrasts beautifully with the bronze case, creating a striking visual effect that is both vibrant and sophisticated.
In addition to the stunning gradient dials, the watch features a 120-click unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel, available in matching colors that complement the dial. The luminous capabilities of the Argo Bronze Watch are another standout feature. With 15 layers of Super-LumiNova BGW9 applied to the hands, indices, and bezel markings, the watch offers exceptional visibility in low-light conditions. Whether you’re exploring the depths of the ocean or simply enjoying a day on the beach, the Argo Bronze offers unparalleled functionality with a style that is unmistakable.
To complement the bronze case and vibrant dial, the Argo Bronze features a 20mm FKM rubber strap. The strap’s design is carefully chosen to match the gradient dial, creating a cohesive look that highlights the contrast between the warm tones of the bronze case and the cool, modern colors of the dial. The strap is comfortable and flexible, ensuring that the watch sits securely and comfortably on the wrist. The inclusion of a CUSN8 bronze buckle with an etched Phoibos logo adds a final touch of sophistication to the watch. The bronze buckle, like the case, will develop its own unique patina over time, further enhancing the individuality of the timepiece.
Whether you’re exploring the ocean’s depths or navigating the complexities of daily life, the Argo Bronze is not just a watch — it’s an experience. It’s a companion that will accompany you on countless journeys, its ever-changing patina serving as a visual testament to the memories and moments shared along the way. It is a legacy waiting to be written, one patina at a time.
