Gray

Surface finish

  • Look

    Dark / black

    Black or dark graphite surface — matte, glossy or satin depending on the specific finish. Discreet, modern look that does not draw attention and suits virtually any strap colour.

  • Abrasion resistance

    Medium

    Handles normal everyday wear. At exposed points — where regular friction or contact with other metals occurs — traces of wear may appear over time.

  • Corrosion protection

    Good

    Reliably protects the underlying material during typical outdoor use — rain, dew, occasional wetting. May not be sufficient for permanently wet environments.

  • Nickel

    No

    The finish contains no nickel in any layer. A safe choice for allergy sufferers and for products intended for direct contact with sensitive skin.

Damp conditions Outdoor use Handles typical outdoor conditions without issue — rain, mud, moisture, sweat. No need to dry or treat specially after every water contact.
Aging Gradually dulls Over time loses its original gloss and the tone changes slightly. This does not affect function, but the surface eventually does not look as fresh as at the start.
Process Galvanic Metal layer applied by electric current in a bath. Even, thin and adhesive coating — the most widespread method for surface finishing of metal parts.

How grey is made

A gunmetal-type electroplated finish: a dark grey metallic layer deposited in a bath. No nickel.

What it gives the product

A graphite tone between silver and black – dark hardware that doesn't feel as harsh as matte black.

When to choose it and when not to

Saddlery rings and D-rings for muted colour combinations. The layer is thin, like other electroplated finishes – for extreme abrasion, choose matte black with its thicker coating instead.

How it ages

It gradually dulls; friction points may lighten.

What it pairs with

Grey, olive and black webbing; it also sits well with reflective elements.
