Tudor Black Bay Bronze M79250BM - 2017

A now discontinued member of the Black Bay range, the OG Black Bay Bronze is a special piece. Featuring a stunning matte chocolate brown dial with gilt markers, rail road minute track, snowflake hands and an in-house COSC rated automatic movement with a 70 hour power reserve. It’s all housed within a 43mm bronze case with 200m of water resistance - pretty impressive stuff for a watch at this price point, and it's no wonder it has become so popular with watch aficionados and those new to watches alike.

This particular piece was originally purchased in January 2017. Grading bronze watches is difficulty due to the patina they develop, and this particular piece has quite a heavy patina. The case is in excellent condition overall, though a few small dings on the upper right lug’s bevel downgrade the piece from Excellent to Good on the TZ scale.

The bezel is not turning due to the patina, but a quick soak would remedy this though you’d lose the even patina in the process. We thought we’d leave this for the buyer to decide as some love patina, while others are not so hot on it. See images for full condition details.

Comes mounted to the Tudor nato strap with bronze hardware, and also comes with the Tudor leather. Both show some wear but have plenty of life left.

Keeping COSC timing.
