2/10/2024 0 Comments Bronze patina process watchuseek![]() ![]() Four months later and I walked out with it on my wrist. Fortunately, my local AD got it in store in the spring of 2021 and when I first laid my eyes on it I was dead set on acquiring this piece. I was looking to acquire the LLD in steel in the autumn of 2020, but when I noticed this new version I could not get it out of my mind. Since acquiring it I have been wearing it almost every day, save for the times I go to the gym. I have now owned the LLD Bronze for about 8 months. ![]() Movement: 21 Jewel Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic - power reserve 40 hr.What better way to begin one's WUS journey than helping a fellow watch enthusiast to decide on this great watch?

There are two movements available, the Japanese Miyota 8215 or the Swiss ETA 2824-2. I designed the Olivier Bronze Diver to be as feature packed as possible, and I wanted the price to be in the everyday achievable category. How happy I am to present it to you now is really just beyond words: I got a small dose of what it is like to have your own company making products that you designed, and there was no turning back now! I started to design my own interpretation of the ultimate bronze dive watch, and when it was ready to be unveiled, Olivier officially became my full time gig. I loved getting feedback along the way, and when they started to ship, it was a blast to get emails from all of you guys showing me what strap combo you were using, how you had accelerated the patina process, or how you had modified them and changed them to be uniquely yours. The best part about the bronze buckles was interacting at the ground level with you guys, the entire WIS community. I used a variation of my middle name for my company because I wanted something that was very much a part of who I was. It was actually the bronze buckle project that inspired me to start Olivier. Without the great support of the community here, and the guidance and help from the staff and mods, I could have never made it to this point. A lot of you know me here on the forum from the bronze buckles I had made, but I wanted to take this chance to let everyone here know a little bit about me, and a little bit about my company and our first dive watch. My name is Roland Oliver Tetenbaum and its with great pride that I present to you Olivier Watch Company, and our first offering in the Olivier Bronze Diver.
