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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u2028\u2028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach Neptune-44 sold will have a percentage of its sale given back the UTAH BEACH Landing Museum in Normandy.
