It's a stainless steel clasp. That strap I think is more oriented to the non-bronze Black Bay line (more accurately sized in lug width for it) and those are (mostly) steel models.
Lol, I bought this 43 mm, but the brown chocolate released 2016, and bought the 24 mm NATO straps from Amazon, is..... Perfect, and I clean two times a day....
see these gone up to nearly 3300 in uk now, got mine for about 500 less over a year ago, still love it and the patina still shows the shine behind and starting to match the dial so looks perfect now
I've not checked the U.S. pricing lately. I am wearing this watch today in fact. I really like the bronze blend Tudor went with. The even patina is nice, and I like how it darkened (I don't want it to look like gold, I want it to look bronze so I'm really pleased with it getting darker but not really going full-on green or extremely different in patches across the case). I ended up getting a 23mm third-party rubber strap for it and I like it a lot better than the nylon one I tried originally as a substitute for the leather strap it came with.
@@WatcheswithDennis mine came with the fabric strap, it could do with a clean but the condition is still new, not bad since i worn it all day every day for nearly 2 years
Imo this looks at its best on a black Rubber-B strap which integrates perfectly to the case. Stunning watch.
Love this Tudor and the bronze. Thanks Dennis great review.
Thanks for your feedback! I just wore this watch again over the weekend. It's my only bronze watch and I really like how Tudor executed the design.
Excellent review! Just saw this watch at my AD and really liked it. Your review is very helpful.
That's beautiful. Is the clasp silver?

Are the 3-6-9 hours markers specifik to the Black Bay Bronze ? ☺️
Yes, at least with the Black Bay line.
Only BB B 39 and BB B 43. :)
Nice review, waiting on the underwriters reviewing my credit application xD
Ha yeah watch prices lately seem to encourage black market kidney sales too!
Cleaning off patina? What kind of monster would do that.
Those who long for gold. I was surprised but a lot really hate the patina but like bronze otherwise. 🪙
If ......Tudor let the bronze case gone 100 % patina and ..... Display at the shop showcase.... Maybe you were the only monster buy.
