Bronze silver gold is a brand-new alloy developed by Omega that's designed to provide the rich colors and gentle aging properties of bronze without the green oxidization common to traditional marine-grade bronze cases. This new metal alloy combines gold, copper, and palladium into a unique mixture that's different from any other proprietary OMEGA material.
OMEGA’s new Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold timepiece is an intriguing timepiece. It takes a novel alloy and applies to a classic diving watch, giving it a warm but refined look. This is a true innovation and it results in a much more elegant watch than the steel version.
The sexy bronze case and dial are finished in an alloy that has been crafted from a mixture of copper, gold, silver and palladium. The first watch of its kind, it is a great example of OMEGA's metal-level offerings.
Its surprising low price point makes this an attractive option for anyone who wants the beauty of bronze and doesn't necessarily require the durability of a high quality gold diving watch. Its retail price is a little over US$11,000; this is lower than that of the Seamaster 300 stainless steel models.
Bronze cost: what does it cost?
Bronze plans are most cost-effective for enrollees on low incomes. Bronze plans are the cheapest and offer a relatively low "deductible" (the amount that you have to pay from your pocket up front before your plan kicks in).
This makes Bronze plans the right choice for people who don't use healthcare often, or who have enough savings to cover their out-of-pocket maximums in bad years. Also, they are a great option for older enrollees with less medical need and/or those who know their Silver plan will have an out of pocket maximum.
Bronze plans: Are they worth it or not?
Answering this question is largely dependent on what type of health care you require. Bronze plans are ideal for those who only require a yearly check-up with a physician and some prescription drug coverage.
Gold plans will be your best choice if you have an extensive healthcare need such as pregnancy, or serious health maintenance. They are more expensive but still cost-effective in the long-term because they offer lower deductibles.
Bronze, Silver and Gold Health Plans: Are they worth it?
When deciding on the level of metal to choose, it is best to consider your healthcare requirements. Silver is best for those who use healthcare regularly and don't require much care. Bronze is ideal for those with less frequent needs. Bronze and Silver offer different levels of protection, which means they do not overlap as much as you might expect.
