Tudor

Tudor has been one of my favorite brands for quite awhile now. I love their willingness to try new things without going overboard. My love for Tudor has grown even more now that they are producing in house movements. Nothing wrong with an ETA movement but if I had a preference it would be an in house.

Lastly, I have been jonesing for a bronze watch for awhile now and have thought about picking up a Panerai Bronzo. However with Tudor coming out with the Black Bay Bronze at 43MM, I think this will fill the void quite nicely.

Love that piece. If it were a bit smaller I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

It seems to me it is a watch that needs just the right strap to pop :)

When I think pilot I think this


When I think diver I think this.


So I would say that maybe we can call this one a hybrid??? I am a self described Tudor fanboy, but I kind of like it. It is different and I will gladly part with my current bronze diver for this one.

It's a great watch; I'm looking forward to trying one on my skinny 6.5 in wrist.

I've been told today by my AD that delivery should be by end of May. Not long to wait.
