The Ventus Northstar N-5 Vintage Black is a phenomenal watch with a brass case. Brass is somewhat similar to bronze in terms of patina (both are based on copper). This is an ongoing process which makes every watch unique. Discolouration is normal with this material. One major benefit is that you can largely bring back your watch in the original condition by using a Cape Cod cloth.
Under the hood you'll find a reliable automatic, Japanese Seiko SII NH35 movement. The beautiful sandwich dial is protected by a piece of domed sapphire glass with an AR coating on the inside. The 300 meter water resistance ensures the ability to swim and dive with your watch without worries. The diving bezel helps if you do decide to take a plunge to the depths of the ocean.
The watch comes on a comfortable rubber strap, but also comes with an additional leather strap. Comfort is key with the Northstar line as the dimensions (40mm diameter and 45mm lug to lug) ensure a good fit on any wrist, especially with the crown at 4 o'clock.

  2 year warranty

  We offer a 2 year warranty on all watches. This covers all mechanical malfunction arising from parts failure and/or assembly errors. Excluded are parts that by their nature may not last 2 years, like batteries and leather straps, damage/problems caused by improper use and wear and tear. We stand behind the brands that we sell and the quality that they offer.
  Some of our brands also offer an international warranty, which will also apply.

  Service and parts

  In the unfortunate event of a problem with your watch, you simply need to send it to us (or take it to another dealer if the brand offers an international warranty). We have access to the official service centers, where only original parts are used and the watchmakers are qualified and experienced with your type of watch. Not every watch movement is the same, so it's best if it's handled by people who know what they are doing.
  After your 2 years warranty has expired we are able to offer service in most cases.
