Bronze silver-gold is a brand new alloy developed by Omega. It's intended to provide rich colors, and gentle ageing properties of bronze, without the common green oxidation seen in traditional marine-grade brass cases. This new alloy combines copper, gold silver and palladium to create a unique alloy that is unlike any other proprietary OMEGA alloy.
OMEGA's new Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold is a fascinating timepiece that takes this novel alloy and applies it to a classic dive watch, resulting in a look that's warm yet refined. This is a true innovation and it results in a much more elegant watch than the steel version.
The dial is finished in an alloy crafted with a mix of palladium and copper. This is the first time OMEGA has offered a metal-level watch.
It's low price makes it a very attractive option for those looking for the elegance of bronze without necessarily having to sacrifice the durability and quality that come with a high-quality, gold dive clock. Retail price is just under US$11,000 - less than comparable stainless Steel Seamaster 300 models.
Bronze price - how much does it cost and for those with lower incomes?
Bronze plans offer the lowest premiums for enrollees who have low incomes. Bronze plans have the lowest premiums and a low deductible.
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 the price?
This question will depend on your needs. Bronze plans are ideal for those who only require a yearly check-up with a physician and some prescription drug coverage.
Gold plans can be the right option for people who have more serious healthcare needs, such as pregnancy and health maintenance. These plans cost more than Bronze or Silver plans but are still very affordable over time because of their lower deductibles.
Bronze, silver and gold health plans are worth it
It is important to take into consideration your health needs before choosing a metal level. 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 have different coverage levels so they may not overlap as frequently as you think.
