Hi all,

Sorry if this has already been covered and I've missed it!

I'd really like to get myself a bronze watch - I love the idea of watching it darken and age with time and as I run a reclamation yard I'm constantly surrounded by old gnarly metal so thinking it would make a good work watch and fit in well with my 'trade'.

Anyway be really interesting to hear anyone's experiences of living with a bronze watch and to see some photos too.... be great to see some proper patina!

So far I've narrowed my search down to the following but it would be great to hear of any others too....
Oris Brashear - lovely looking watch but way too big for me
Tudor BB bronze - beautiful watch but tried on recently and also too big for me.
Oris big crown bronze - never seen in the metal.
And it looks like Yema are bringing one out too in a more vintage size.

Any I've missed?

Many thanks!

 

Panerai makes a bronze diver (several LE now) which are sought after. They're releasing a new one, I believe the official release is tomorrow 3/19, with a brown dial. They're gorgeous watches. However, if the Tudor at 43mm is too big then a Pam diver at 47mm will be way too large for your preference.

Zenith also makes a very attractive bronze Pilot as well. This one is 45mm if memory serves.

 

Yep sadly all way too big for me! Thanks though - I hadn't seen the Zenith.

 

Christopher ward has one or two bronze ones I think? Really liked their gmt but never saw the bronze models in the metal.

 

Interesting to see you post this now. I’ve seen Massdrop offer a bronze Glycene Combat sub for only $420 USD. It comes in 42mm and 48mm version.

It has only 8 hours left today and I’ve been fighting the urge to get one. It looks amazing to me...

Also comes with several bezel and dial color combinations.

 

Helson does a few in CuSn8

Have fun

Edit for clarity

 

Micro brand Benarus have some interesting cushion case style pieces , I very nearly pulled the trigger on a Pac Man

 

Bloody hell - That's a serious deal! Too big for me but a very nice looking watch at a bargain price...amazing its actually bronze and not some fake coating at thst price.

 

Just seen that CW do a 38mm - had looked at them before but only seen the 43mm watches...

Love the font on the pacman!
