Mokum-Gane is an ancient technique developed by the Japanese that creates unique designs in metal. In Japanese, Mokum Gane-means "metal wood." Alternating layers of metal are diffusion bonded into a single ticket. The ticket is hammered and manipulated to expose the layers in the metal. This technique is very similar to Damascus steel, commonly used in knives and swords.
There are two varieties Mokum Gane-available on the Coronado. One version uses only copper and silver, which has a traditional 'wood appearance. The second version, called "Lava", adds two other alloys in combination, and a random pattern with a little more color variation.
These gauges are made entirely by hand, and no two are exactly alike. The raw material is made by hand, each face is cut by hand and the hand is completed. A patina is hand applied to each dial to highlight the color variations. They are then varnished to protect the finish. Each of these watches is individually numbered on the dial.
The Coronado has finely detailed case with a classic style. The bezel has a brushed satin finish, which offers a nice contrast with the mirror polished coin edge detail of the case. The case measures 43mm x 11.2mm with 22mm lugs. It has a sapphire crystal and a mineral display back.
