Neptune 44 - Patina
Description
The Neptune-44 isn't just inspired by history — it's marked by it. In a first-of-its-kind process, each case was submerged off the coast of Utah Beach, Normandy, by re-using oyster farming methods. Exposed to the same salt, sun and sand that saw the Allies land on June 6, 1944, every case emerges uniquely scarred and darkened — not by design, but by time and tide.
This is a transformation by exposure, not surface treatment. Each scratch tells the story of waves crashing over steel — a natural patina earned in the very waters of D-Day.
The dial continues this rugged tribute with a brown aged finish, specially developed for this release. Indexes are patina’d and subdued, echoing the wear and weathering of real field instruments. No two dials will be exactly the same — each one develops its own character over time.
The Neptune-44 is not a reproduction. It’s a living relic, forged in salt and memory, and a tribute to the enduring legacy of those who landed before us.
Each Neptune-44 sold will have a percentage of its sale given back the UTAH BEACH Landing Museum in Normandy. The donation will be used to thanks them for their support in the project.

THE MANEUVER
Inspired by traditional oyster farming methods, select watch cases are deployed off Utah Beach—secured in oyster nets and left to face the same exact elements that the Allies have encountered on
their landing. Salt, water, sand, and sun work in unison to scar, shape, and darken each case.
