Tudor Black Bay Bronze automatic watch grey dial leather strap 43 mm

Getting to know each other

The first diver from the House of Tudor dates back to 1954 with its reference 7922. Since then, the brand with the shield and the rose has never stopped improving the comfort and resistance of its watches. From these long years of study was born the Black Bay, the emblematic symbol of the Tudor brand, aesthetic, technical and functional.

Symbol

This model has everything of the brand's first divers, the "Snowflake" hands with the famous crown also called "Big Crow" because of its prominence on the case. With its 43 mm opening and domed sapphire crystal, there is no doubt about the robustness and reliability of this mythical timepiece.

What to remember

One of the major characteristics of this Black Bay Bronze model (ref. M79250BA-0001) lies in the material of its case. This one is a reference to the copper used in the navy and old diving equipment. Bronze is a living metal, an alloy which, over the years, will give birth to a unique patina depending on its use thanks to oxidation (corrosion phenomenon due to oxygen). Nevertheless, bronze cannot be polished and the patina it creates cannot be cleaned. For the maintenance of your Bronze watch, it is advisable to use a paste composed of bicarbonate of soda with lemon juice.

The movement

This Black Bay Bronze embeds the Manufacture MT5601 calibre certified COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) guaranteeing a 70-hour power reserve. This allows you, among other things, to put your watch down at the weekend and pick it up again at the beginning of the week.
