The Lüm-Tec Combat B19 Bronze Watch

LUM_TEC_COMBAT_B19_DIAL3

The recent uptick in bronze watches, from the beastly Ancon Tank to the subtle Archimede Pilot and lots in between, has made me, and lots of you, fans of the material. https://www.tagwatcheuer.is The warm, copper to yellow brass tones mixed with green/brown patinas has a very different presence from steel, one that is both stylish and rugged and a welcome addition to one’s collection. And since it’s a material that is predominantly used on tool divers (a few pilot watches now too), seeing it on the Combat’s early 20th century military/pilot case was a refreshing change.

Lüm-Tec went back to perhaps the most iconic Combat dial they’ve made, that of the long sold-out and nearly impossible to find B2.Mixing the oversized 3, 6, 9 and 12 numerals of an aviator, with a more field-style design, the B2-dial is as legible as it is attractive.

This facet of the design is particularly emphasized by both the olive hue, which feels like it’s right out of WWII memorabilia, and the heavy lume application. Lüm-Tec lives up to its name once again on the B19, with some of the thickest lume I’ve seen on a dial. It actually looks hand painted on the large numerals, overlapping the edges of the numerals ever-so-slightly.
