SUMMARY

To celebrate the 130th birthday of Bucherer, one of Switzerland’s leading luxury watch retailers in 2018, Tudor released a special edition ‘Bucherer’ version of its Black Bay Bronze. Measuring 43mm in diameter and water resistant to a depth of 200 metres, the reference is largely the same as the regular Black Bay Bronze in terms of sizing, function, and design. However, the biggest difference lies in the blue dial and matching bezel insert which provide a high sense of contrast when paired with the bronze finish of the case and crown.. To further distinguish the Bucherer from the standard Black Bay Bronze, it is paired with a blue and gold fabric strap with a bronze buckle. On the reverse, there is a special engraving marking Bucherer’s 130th anniversary on the outer circle of the screw-down rear casing.
