@@biggieders2648I found one post on Reddit after about 8 months of use the bronze was starting to darken and parts were starting to stain it patinas incredibly
I was all about picking up the Tudor Bucherer Blue and had my eye on it for a couple of years. I ended up with the Christopher Ward Bronze Ombre and have not regretted my choice at all.
I am wearing a Stowa Flieger 36mm in bronze right now and the combo works really well. The bronze is pre-aged so it doesn’t patina further and retains it’s color. They were late to the game but nearly the whole range including the Marine Original have bronze options now.
Man I’m was just looking at that watch! I’m trying to decide if I like or dislike the fact that it won’t patina further. Such a beauty of a watch. Enjoy
My favorite shown here is the Black Bay Bronze. It like the look with the 3-6-9, and the bezel insert tones down the overall "bronze-ness" of the package.
The Panerai Bronzo is my daily watch. I rock it with the army green rubber strap and I wears it everywhere. Diving, snorkeling, lake, pool, around town, etc so it has an amazing brown and green patina. I also love it for business travel because I can wear it casual or rock it with my suits and it never looks out of place. When you wear them properly and develop that national patina they look so freaking cool!
I'm trying to find the Christopher Ward watch shown in this video, but can't seem to find it anywhere. The closest I can find is the bronze case with the solid blue dial, but I really love that scratched dial. Where did you get yours?
Oris actually introduced Big Crown in full bronze, as it happened just recently, I believe you've been already working on the video. But this model just works perfectly, and worth taking a look at. The bronze case seems here to stay for sure. Thanks Teddy for such a cool video👍
Great selection, however the Zenith Pilot Type 20 40mm in bronze should, in my humble opinion, definitely have made the cut. As always, thanks for the video!
On the affordable side there is the bulova precisionist chrono in bronze that has quite a lot to bring to the table. Quartz movement, but also has a 262 kHz sweeping second hand like the other curv models
The Black Bay 58 is a definite winner for me in this category. Fun fact: it cannot be purchased anywhere in Switzerland (no Tudor boutiques 😕), I had to go all the way to Rome for mine… 😅
As someone who has been looking into bronze watches as frequently as of late, I should have known you would put out a top notch level video on the topic! Much appreciated!
I can't wait to drive down and get my first luxury watch from you Teddy. Your videos have been a great source of calm for me throughout a VERY tumultuous time. Thank you! My favorite here is the blue Captain Cook!
Times are VERY tumultuous no doubt.. good thing is it's gonna get worse! Lol that'd be friggin sweet to drive down and buy your first lux piece from Teddy... what an experience. Please update when you do 👍🏻 *Don't mind the sarcasm, there is hope in Christ!
There are some amazing watches in that list. While I think metals like brass and bronze will go in and out of style, there will always be fans of these materials that aren't concerned with what is or isn't trendy. I personally love brass and bronze for the way they developed a patina with age, which looks especially amazing on vintage style watches.
The Oris cotton candy line looks fantastic! The Rado doesn't look like bronze, but brass with that overall tone to the material, imo. Solid options, overall.
Love the bronze Gylcine combat sub 42 and is definitely quality in my price range. The Black Bay fifty eight bronze with the riveted bronze bracelet though? ooooof that will age so nice! imo micro adjusting bracelet clasps are so great, love the content
Funny you should release this vid today - I was watching it at lunch, while waiting to get the watch just ordered on 1/31. Just got it! Was looking at Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire, but ended up going with the C63 Sealander Bronze, which I think they just came out with. Uploaded some real-life footage, if curious - a stunning piece.
The Oris is definitely my favorite, it's not just the watch, but the story behind it. Carl Brashear story really motivate to keep going for what I want in life no matter the obstacles, truly a great man.
Just picked up the Legend Diver bronze, w/ green dial. (Been wanting one since it came out, and I finally saw one at a hefty discount.) The BB58 is equally gorgeous, but I'm not sure I'd want a bronze bracelet... patina on the case is one thing, but a whole bracelet? That would be a bit much.
I have the Black Bay Bronze/brown, the original, it is a gorgeous watch and the patina is incredible. Took about a year to develop the deep character one expects from a bronze case, even here on the coast, but totally worth the wait. Wish I could post a pic here. It’s a big watch (my daily is a BB36);but with bronze, I think bigger is better.
Glad to see Christopher Ward on the list. That watch is next on my list, because they just released C63 Bronze and I'm waiting on it to be delivered, well, any moment today. I think the whole brand can't be matched for that price range
Hi Ted There’s something about bronze and sailing, right? I can recommend the Stowa Marine Bronze which comes in different sizes, all with ETA movements. I own the 36 mm version. I mean...modest size, enamel(-ish) dail, Roman numerals and a bronze case. It immediately reminds you of ancient instruments on ships. In other words, it’s a “deck” watch, but still dressy enough not to appear too tooley... My only complaint is that it won’t age in the way that most other bronze watches do. It has something to do with the mixing ratio when it comes to metals, I understand. Stowa has made this choice of making it look like a watch that’s been worn for a year or so, and it stays that way. On the other hand, I’m quite satisfied... Bronze and fliegers - hmm. It doesn’t seem like a real natural choice, but you’ve got some quite cool pieces here. Especially from IWC and Sinn😊
Great video! You inspired me to look at the Glycine and Ch Ward models. Decided upon the Glycine Men's GL0321 Bronze Combat Sub w/ GMT and date complications! Just pulled the proverbial trigger because there are some great sales right now on that particular model!
Omega Gold Bronze Seamaster Heritage! 9K Gold and Bronze in the same watch....just wish they would release a full metal bracelet in same alloy to compliment.
I have had a Tudor Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue for 8 months now and the patina is mellow and reflects how I use it. The blue Nato strap works well but the vintage leather strap that it comes with as well takes it to another level. 2 watches for the price of one!
I love the idea of bronze divers, but didn’t want to drop too much money. I found a Heimdallr shark master with a green dial at a pawnshop for $20. So far I’m very pleased with my “investment”😁
@@DominusEstOK yeah I just checked out the strap options, and they're pretty bad. I'd much prefer a bracelet but I think it's difficult for them to make a high quality bracelet so they're just avoiding it.
@@GhostJohnson you very well may be right. That is what makes the Oris and Tudor so compelling, though good luck getting the Tudor. The Oris options though, now those are pretty sweet.
@@DominusEstOK I went in to Oris wanting the bronze divers 65, then ended up looking at the Aquis Cherry, and ended up with the Aquis depth gauge lol. But the tudor looks great. Are they difficult to obtain?
@@GhostJohnson they are available, but sold way over list price. Between $6500-7000 right now. They aren't worth that much. It's funny how if you see and wear stuff you perception can change. I just got the Black Bay Chrono in Reverse Panda. I liked it in the photos, but when I put it one and saw it with my eyes, dang! So I totally get it. Still love your Oris?
Just bought a Christopher Ward Sandhurst, COSC certified, and with full bronze bracelet. Very striking, for $2000 including tax and duties. Got it in just a week, shipped from the UK to US. And it's not a diver, for those od'd on those, but rather a field watch.
Not mentioned in this video but I did see the seagull 1963 has bronze variants including in the panda design if you're not into the original look. At half roughly half the price of that first watch you showed, it's pretty incredible what they're able to pack into those watches for the price
Speaking of availability when it comes to Glycine, im surprised the issue wasnt mentioned for Zelos. I sometimes feel you could get up the Submariner waiting list faster than getting your hands on the Zelos you want. Less the brand equity.
I know everybody loves to hate Shinola, but I picked up a Bronze Monster for 30% off. I like the look of the inky black dial against the bronze, it has decent lume, and both straps it comes with (green nato and brown leather) are decent for the price paid. That said, I would have moved on for better value had it been full retail, but 30% off put it a price point that felt more on par with what I was getting.
Nice selection of bronze models. I would add the traditional pilot watches offered by Dekla, a small German firm in Stuttgart. Both Type A and Type B traditional "flieger" designs in 40, 42, and 44 mm sizes are available with a variety of customizations including the dial and hand materials and colors. I own a Type A bronze flieger and it's a stunner, especially considering the price at well below $1000 with ETA and Sellita movements.
I think the new Christopher Ward C60 Bronze Ombre Green with the COSC certified movement is a great looking watch worth a looking at. Brilliant value for the specification. Just ordered one!
Thanks for amazing videos.. Pease review Christopher ward C63 bronze watch. With the transparent dial it looks amazing. Also it has COSC certification which is hard to beat at that price point. Looking forward hearing your thoughts about it.
Hi teddy, I was disappointed you didn't mention the Omega 300 Bronze/Gold - will it patina? How will it patina? Is it worth $11k+ they say it's 9k gold but it's still got copper, silver, palladium, and micro traces of other metals - remember your brilliant breakdown of the Spring Drive movement? I would trust no one more than you to give us ( your loyal followers) a breakdown of Omega's Bronze/Gold - we already know you love the Omega 300 - you've made that abundantly clear - I own a 2021 Seamaster Professional, and hurts my heart every time you say so... sincerely Donald. USMC retired.
Good cross section of bronze watches on the market. Sad to see Montblanc’s offerings skipped over, since they are awesome in the metal. I have a 1858 chronograph with the champagne dial and can’t get over how much I love the thing whenever I put it on.
Wow that macro shot with that patina color black blue purple green was awesome. I’m modding a Seiko into looking like that Tudor black bay 58, but the in blue. I’ll be swimming with it in chlorine, salt water & fresh water; I wonder what mine will look like over time.
Great Video. I have owned Tudor BB Bronze for about ?4yrs now. Loved the bronze case with the brown dial. I actually like my leather strap compared to the newer bracelet
What's nice is you can basically control it. You can clean and polish it and make it shiny. You can mildly clean it with vinegar to slow patina or you can use salts and oils to rapidly patina it.
I usually don’t consider much microbrands, I love the bronze look and bigger size for divers and I was thinking about saving (for a couple years lol) to get a Panerai but DAMN that Zelos is incredible! Specs, looks, uniqueness… outstanding and the price tag was almost unbelievable. It will be veeeeery hard to resist
I’m wearing one of the original hammerhead 1000m models today, and I can tell you that they are worth every cent, times 3! Can’t get better CS than Zelos either. Elshan, the owner, is one of the most helpful people I’ve ever spoken with. He is dedicated to putting out a good product, and stands behind them.
I like good Bronze Divers. Especially from Elyssee and Zelos.Thank you Teddy Baldassarre for this review. Stay healthy everybody. Greetings from Germany
I can definitely recommend to have a look to the AQUATICO SEA STAR BRONZE( I own the full bronze version, not just the case but bazel as well) and is a terrific best buy if you are looking for a classy bronze diver. In addition the Leather strap provided by AQUATICO is superb...
I was going to ask where the Zenith was on this list, then I saw you covered this example in the blog post. The one that grabs my attention the most is the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Date Bronze. I don't know why, but it looks just right and is spec'd rather nice, standard Sellita movement in an Oris aside (or does that make it, perhaps, more serviceable?).
Great review Teddy. I've got the Glycine Combat Sub now for 2 years and It's an amazing watch. Also a lot of lume. Buckle isn't brone unfortunatly but overall, great value for the money. Any experience with the Seagull Ocean Diver bronze? An Oris in bronze for over $2.000 is a bit to much for me;)
Great video Teddy! I have missed the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80th anniversary. The bronze case plus green dial is beautiful! It is my favorite watch of my collection. Regards
I'm not a big bronze watch fan, but I think Oris does some fantastic bronze watches. I think the only 2 bronze watches I'd consider are the Oris Diver's 65 Bico and the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
Christopher Ward is definitely the real bang for the buck! Decided to buy the special edition with green dial - look and feels like it would costs three times more !
I was just thinking about Bronze watches earlier this week. And now this video drops from Teddy… coincidence 😉 I think not… I really dig the Oris cotton candy dials and the Tudor Black Bay 39mm ohh and that green Dial IWC … pfffftt decisions - decisions.
As an owner of the Oris pointer date 80th anniversary, I can confirm the brand really masters the Bronze designs. Great video!
Do you have any pictures of the Patina on the 80th anniversary edition? Love the watch but I haven’t been able to find any of the patina after use.
Oooohhhh I bet that looks incredible! I LOVE the classy bronze look
@@biggieders2648I found one post on Reddit after about 8 months of use the bronze was starting to darken and parts were starting to stain it patinas incredibly

Good inclusion, certainly worthy. Had to make the cut off somewhere. We included more in the written list.

Exactly. 👍
I wonder why Bulova has no place in this review. Maybe because it doesn't fall into the elegant category.
The Black Bay 58 is a definite winner for me in this category.
Fun fact: it cannot be purchased anywhere in Switzerland (no Tudor boutiques 😕), I had to go all the way to Rome for mine… 😅
The new Oris pointer date in bronze looks stunning , a full bronze jubilee 😍 will definitely be getting one of those.
Recorded this before the announcement but I agree! 👍🏻
@@TeddyBaldassarre haha that's what I thought. It's definitely one of the best bronze watches released yet. Hope my local AD will have one in soon.

Add the Unimatic/Massena Lab Bronze watch, U4S-BRZ-ML.
Oris, Hamilton, and glycine is very gorgeous for me.
That's my opinion.
Thx teddy.
I wasn’t a fan of bronze watches but the Black Bay and the red Rado just changed my mind… damn!
I love bronze watches. I definitely would like to ad one to the mix eventually
Christopher Wards bronze watches are amazing. Just ordered my C60 Bronze Ombre green COSC certified watch.
The Christopher Ward C60 Trident looks sensational. Rado and Tudor as well.
Would love to own one. I think bronze and its unique patina is totally aligned with horology and watch collecting. Love that Baltic!
So nice to see the Tag Heuer Autavia getting some love.
Speaking of availability when it comes to Glycine, im surprised the issue wasnt mentioned for Zelos. I sometimes feel you could get up the Submariner waiting list faster than getting your hands on the Zelos you want. Less the brand equity.

Mmmm. The Legend Diver has been on my wish list since I first laid eyes on her.

if he did a video on that watch it would be great!
You left out the Omega Seamaster 300 and Speedmaster Chromascope, both in bronze-gold. Both beautiful pieces.
Wow that macro shot with that patina color black blue purple green was awesome. I’m modding a Seiko into looking like that Tudor black bay 58, but the in blue. I’ll be swimming with it in chlorine, salt water & fresh water; I wonder what mine will look like over time.
Great Video. I have owned Tudor BB Bronze for about ?4yrs now. Loved the bronze case with the brown dial. I actually like my leather strap compared to the newer bracelet
You know! Bronze is growing on me! I kinda love it! I just can’t deal with that patina. 🙈 but I love the warmth of bronze! 😍😍
What's nice is you can basically control it. You can clean and polish it and make it shiny. You can mildly clean it with vinegar to slow patina or you can use salts and oils to rapidly patina it.
Good selection !
I would have added some of the yema offering that does à great bronze version of the superman !
The combat sub is such a great piece. Fantastic entry level Swiss automatic. It gets a lot of wrist time from me.
I usually don’t consider much microbrands, I love the bronze look and bigger size for divers and I was thinking about saving (for a couple years lol) to get a Panerai but DAMN that Zelos is incredible!
Specs, looks, uniqueness… outstanding and the price tag was almost unbelievable.
It will be veeeeery hard to resist

I thought for sure you would mention the Seamaster 300 in bronze gold. It's a stunner, and probably be the most resistant to tarnishing.
I love my bronze Dekla flieger type-b.
I do like the Tudor 58 & IWC Spitfire!

I was going to ask where the Zenith was on this list, then I saw you covered this example in the blog post.
The one that grabs my attention the most is the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Date Bronze. I don't know why, but it looks just right and is spec'd rather nice, standard Sellita movement in an Oris aside (or does that make it, perhaps, more serviceable?).
Definitely more serviceable and cheaper to do so
I just love the look and feel of the Hamilton Khaki Field series. Great watch
Great idea and, as usually, professionally executed!
Thank you my friend!
I have wanted a bronze watch for a few years now... great list.
Great vid Teddy. Any wait to own a bronze watch. Oddly opening with the Baltic kind of set the standard for value. Interesting. Lots to live!!
Purchasing the Rado Captain Cook in bronze with the Brown Dial tomorrow.
I can't believe you didn't include the new Oris bronze pointer dates on bronze bracelet.
Tudor is definitely nice here. Tudor is my Nato strap watch.
That Christopher Ward piece caught my eye for sure. Speaking of caught my eye, tell us about that JACKET, you look great in that.
Great review Teddy. I've got the Glycine Combat Sub now for 2 years and It's an amazing watch. Also a lot of lume. Buckle isn't brone unfortunatly but overall, great value for the money.
Any experience with the Seagull Ocean Diver bronze?
An Oris in bronze for over $2.000 is a bit to much for me;)
Love bronze, I was sure you were going to mention the Hamilton Pilot bronze! It's a Beauty
The patina on the CW looks beautiful.
Great video Teddy! I have missed the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80th anniversary. The bronze case plus green dial is beautiful! It is my favorite watch of my collection. Regards
Just thought you should mention about the iwc chronograph, that is the watch Tom Cruiz used in Top Gun.
Hi Teddy!!! I think you missed the glycine airman gmt or the yema Superman they are great watches too!!!
Zenith Pilot extra special in bronze is my favorite.
I'm not a big bronze watch fan, but I think Oris does some fantastic bronze watches. I think the only 2 bronze watches I'd consider are the Oris Diver's 65 Bico and the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
Helson is also a great brand, if you’re into dive watches with bronze cases.
This video just convinced me to buy a bronze combat sub as I found one on sale for $400 lol good stuff!
I have the Glycine mentioned and really love it. Also, during Covid19 Bronze is a great material.
The IWC Spitfire is my favorite!!! I am also super intrigued in what watch were you wearing
Christopher Ward is definitely the real bang for the buck! Decided to buy the special edition with green dial - look and feels like it would costs three times more !
I'm getting that one as well. Certified movement and limited edition makes it all the more appealing.
I've got the Oris 65 bico... what a stunning piece
Beautiful watches! Love your channel thanks for sharing the knowledge. I personally prefer the bronze look of most other watch material.
I was just thinking about Bronze watches earlier this week. And now this video drops from Teddy… coincidence 😉 I think not… I really dig the Oris cotton candy dials and the Tudor Black Bay 39mm ohh and that green Dial IWC … pfffftt decisions - decisions.
Thanks Teddy
Bronze became very popular. I like it.
Eterna Kontiki bronze is very nice
