The Zelos Aurora Field 38mm Bronze “Hammered Blue” is a distinctive automatic sports watch that combines traditional field-watch versatility with an unusual combination of materials, textures, and colors. This pre-owned example is presented in mint condition, originally purchased in January 2025, and features the striking hammered blue fumé dial housed in a solid CuSn8 bronze case.
This particular configuration is currently sold out on the official Zelos website, making it an attractive opportunity for collectors looking for this distinctive combination of bronze construction and textured blue dial.
The defining feature of the Aurora Field is its remarkable hammered blue dial, which features a textured surface with a deep midnight-blue fumé gradient. An enamel coating is applied over the dial to create a rich, glossy finish that emphasizes the hammered texture and produces beautiful reflections under changing lighting conditions.
The watch is housed in a 38mm CuSn8 bronze case, measuring 46mm lug-to-lug and 12mm thick. These balanced dimensions provide excellent everyday wearability while allowing the bronze case to develop its own distinctive character over time.
Unlike conventional stainless steel, CuSn8 bronze naturally develops a patina through exposure to air, moisture, and regular handling. This gradual oxidation process creates unique variations in the metal’s appearance, allowing each watch to develop an individual personality as it ages.
Protecting the dial is a flat sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating, offering excellent scratch resistance and improved visibility. Super-LumiNova® C3 provides strong low-light legibility, complementing the watch’s functional field-watch design.
Powering the Aurora Field is the Japanese Miyota 9039 automatic movement, a reliable 24-jewel mechanical caliber operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering approximately 42 hours of power reserve. The no-date movement maintains the clean, symmetrical dial layout.
Despite its compact dimensions and refined appearance, the Aurora Field delivers impressive sports-watch capability with 200 meters / 660 feet of water resistance.

The Zelos Aurora Field Bronze “Hammered Blue” stands apart from conventional field watches through its unusual combination of materials and finishing techniques. Its deeply textured blue dial, glossy enamel coating, and warm bronze case create a distinctive appearance that changes character depending on the surrounding light.
The CuSn8 bronze construction is particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate watches that develop their own personality over time. As the metal naturally oxidizes, the case can develop a unique patina that complements the rich midnight-blue dial.
Its compact 38mm diameter and 46mm lug-to-lug measurement make the Aurora Field exceptionally wearable, while the 12mm thickness and 200-meter water-resistance rating provide substantial everyday versatility.
Inside, the Miyota 9039 automatic movement offers reliable mechanical performance with approximately 42 hours of power reserve. The clean no-date dial, sapphire crystal, C3 Super-LumiNova®, and durable FKM rubber strap complete a well-balanced sports-watch package.
With this configuration currently sold out through Zelos, this January 2025 example offers an appealing opportunity to acquire a distinctive bronze field watch featuring one of the brand’s most interesting dial treatments.
