I have an irrational itch for a copper dial. Apart from Ming - are there other options ?

Sinn did a lovely copper dial chrono,
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
Lundis Bleus do some copper'ish dials but I think they are actually made of brass looking at the specs.
Sartory Billard definitely do copper dials and have a similar number track style to them that the Ming does.
There must be some in the Seiko Pressage line as well...
Edit: Just looked at the SB site and can't see a copper dial but was sure someone had a custom one so maybe worth asking.
anOrdain use copper as the base metal for their standard enamel dials as well so they might create something bespoke for you.

This limited edition Brew as well
And for a tient budget I think there is a seiko 5 with a copper or copper coloured dial at least, the snx 11 or something
I agree, I am not personally too keen on the smooth or brushed copper dials, but this kind of concentric pattern like on the Brew or the 356 copper are really bringing it to life!
I also wonder if there is some sort of coating on the dial or if it just is raw copper.
If it was the latter, that would mean the dial could get darker as the watch gets older and gets exposed to humidity
How about Habring?

There are also some from Minase that I forgot about:
There are a few in the Zeno world....
My big pilot... also available in smaller versions.

The Seiko SNXA11. Copper (or salmon).

It's a Lundis Bleus.
Probably a bit over-priced for what they are but the dials are excellent. There are still a few of their cheaper 1st editions on Chrono24 but they are also still seen as somewhat expensive for the movement.
Habring are sold in the UK by Stewarts Watches. They have a number of models listed on their site and I'm sure could provide a price for others.
I had this Revue Thommen back in 2006 :)
