The first Tudor Black Bay model to be released with a bronze case was launched in 2016, and featured a matte brown dial with a matching brown bezel insert. Since then we’ve seen three more versions of the Black Bay in bronze: a unique left-handed version in khaki green made for Only Watch in 2017, last year’s model with a slate grey dial, and the one which interests us today known as the Tudor Black Bay Bronze Blue Edition for Bucherer.
We have long been fans of the original Black Bay Bronze, and we even rewarded it with the 2016 Best Sports Watch Awardin our annual Revolution Awards. The watch stood out from the rest of the pack thanks to its stunning on-trend design, innovative use of materials and ultimate value for money. As an established diving watch which was revisited and reinvented with today’s watch buyer at its heart, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze ticked every box.
To celebrate the 130th anniversary of Lucerne-based retailer Bucherer, which was in 2018, the retailer unveiled a series of special edition watches all featuring its “Bucherer Blue” colourway. One of the most popular models from this series — which featured brands such as Audemars Piguet, IWC, Ulysse Nardin and Panerai to name a few — has undeniably been the Tudor Black Bay Bucherer Edition; and for good reasons.
