In Canada it would have been called the "Ranger" and cost you $3.75 more.
The patina on the case comes from the silver base metal under the rolled gold plating. Silver developes a blackish tarnish and bleeds through to the surface of the gold plating. It's easy to clean off with something like Tarn-X. Just make sure you rinse all the Tarn-X off after cleaning.
