Bronze Bonzer Watch

The Watch

Founded in 2009, March LA.B is a French watch brand rooted between Biarritz and Los Angeles. It crafts high-end timepieces that marry a strong design identity with meticulous attention to detail, delivering the ultimate watchmaking experience. Guided by the mantra "Less is more", the brand presents models with a vintage aesthetic that blends urban elegance and minimalist sophistication - always accented with a touch of green, the brand's signature color. True to its DNA, it continues to surprise and captivate through endlessly inventive creations. Today, it presents the Bonzer Bronze watch BONZERABZSI01 - a perfect expression of March LA.B's values. This stunning watch takes its name from the revolutionary surfboards shaped by brothers Duncan and Malcolm Campbell in the 1970s. The watch features a round case measuring 41 mm in diameter and 12.25 mm thick - dimensions that make it perfectly suited to any men's wrist. Crafted in bronze, a truly living metal that resists corrosion and develops a unique patina over time. Charismatic and entirely one-of-a-kind, the case showcases an impressive brushed finish with interior bevels and mirror-polished lugs that add a subtle touch of sophistication to this exceptional creation. The unidirectional bezel is enhanced by a strikingly sculpted peripheral notching. It features a black ceramic insert adorned with gold markings that echo the bronze tones of the case, with Arabic numerals from 10 to 50 alternating with baton indices. Above the case middle, a domed sapphire crystal shields the dial from scratches while ensuring excellent legibility thanks to an anti-reflective coating. The screw-down crown at 4 o'clock features a highly precise chiseled finish with a beautiful pattern and the brand's logo engraved in relief. Ideal for setting, it controls the hours, minutes, and date hands. This harmonious ensemble is completed by a case back secured by screws, beautifully detailed with a circular brushing at the center and a ribbed texture on the edge. Showcasing the brand's logo, the case back ensures water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

This watch is graced by a beautifully clean, perfectly balanced dial. The quality of its execution and the care given to every detail are, once again, a genuine delight - ensuring precise, effortless timekeeping. Brought to life through elegant, sophisticated tones and built with the classic cross hair design of the 1970s, it features a matte black finish that creates a striking contrast with the gold reading elements. It is punctuated by applied baton indices set on an angled chapter ring marked with a gold minute track. These precisely cut and polished markers add a refined detail and a touch of complexity to the dial. Paired with elegant, partially skeletonized tuning fork-shaped hands filled with Luminova for clear legibility in low-light conditions. At 3 o'clock, a date window with a gold beveled frame and a black background displays the date in green on the 3rd of each month. The result is absolutely stunning and utterly original. To complete this splendid design, the brand applies its finely cut M logo at 12 o'clock with its name below, and on the opposite side the mentions "Automatic" and "Made in France."

The Movement

This model is powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement engineered for outstanding reliability. The G100 caliber offers a 68-hour power reserve and is assembled by March LA.B's French master watchmakers in the city of Besançon. Born from a partnership between Swiss manufacture La Joux-Perret and the Besançon-based family house Humbert-Droz, this new three-hand date caliber draws on a proven architecture. Exceptionally precise, it features 24 jewels, measures 24.6 mm x 4.45 mm, and beats at a frequency of 28,800 (4 Hz) vibrations per hour. Equipped with a stop-seconds function, it delivers extreme accuracy within -4 to +6 seconds per day.

The Strap

This watch features a strap in black silicone with a ribbed texture. At 20 mm wide at the lug, it swaps out effortlessly thanks to its presto quick-release system. Built to take on anything, it strikes the perfect balance between durability and comfort, giving your wrist an elegantly sporty edge. Finished with a pin buckle, the quality craftsmanship and refined details make this timepiece one of March LA.B's best-selling models.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. This is a genuinely water-resistant watch! Its sporty personality means it's ready to dive right into aquatic adventures alongside you. From puddles to the pool, this timepiece handles splashes and swims without complaint - showering, bathing, and recreational swimming are no problem at all. That said, Ocarat's watchmaking experts want you to know that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (professional or otherwise) and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers clear of operation while the watch is submerged.
