OPPHAV DAMASCUS GREEN
I posted this watch this week as it came in and i had to share it then and now.
Someone told me that i should post it agaain on green friday. So here it is again.
"Ripples on a lake. A glacier. The seabed. The Opphav dial captures the textures of Norwegian nature, holding a miniature landscape of ridges and valleys that glimmers in direct light, coming gently to rest as the light dims.
DAMASCUS CASE
The OPPHAV DAMASCUS case marries two carbon steel alloys of different properties, forged together and folded several times. When exposed to acid the unique pattern is revealed, reminiscent of wood grain or the texture of water. The result is a case as beautiful as it is performant–a nod to warriors of ancient cultures from a distant past.
CASE BACK
The case back is adorned with a stamped and surface-treated 3D motif capturing the origins of the Opphav watch. Two sapphire crystal windows provide a clear view of the beating heart of every Opphav: the Sellita SW-200-1 b (no date) movement. All Opphav Damascus watches are serialized XXX / 250 on the case back.

I,m a 58 year old male living in the Netherlands. Watches are my passion. At the moment my collection is mid tier/lower end. Goal is grail watches.
Awesome! Still waiting for mine
Exactly how to you stop a case made of carbon steel from rusting?
Steel needs to be finished or it rusts. That is why guns are blued.
