Bronze watches?

[mac_135]

I’m interested in buying a watch with a bronze case. I just think it’s a really interesting look. Any suggestions on brands or models of interest? Willing to spend up to $2500. Thanks in advance.

I know Oris makes at least one. Also Anonimo.

Archimede makes a diver and a deck watch in bronze for under $1000.

Oris makes a pilot below they price you mentioned. Oris also makes this.......

They were $2600 retail and sold out almost immediately. They then made a Chrono version for damn near $5000. It doesn’t seem to sell well.

For me, it’d be Tudor or Eterna Kontiki — but both are likely to require a top up to the budget.
If you want to go cheap, then look at Christopher Ward C60 Trident, Glycine Combat Sub, or Zelos on C24 and eBay.
Regarding Anonimo, be aware that the original designs are not supported by the owner of the current brand name, so getting spares might be very problematic.
I’d also be of the opinion that the current ones aren’t a patch on the originals.
A further option could be Ball Watch Engineer III, but priced close to the BB and Kontiki, it’d be easier to choose those for the relatively small additional extra outlay, especially given both have in-house and longer PR movement.

You may need to save up a little more money, but I'd go for the Tudor Heritage if you can wear a 43mm watch. If you don't want to spend that much or want something smaller, Archimede makes a nice bronze flieger in 39mm and 43mm with an Ickler case and true heat blued hands. It would scratch the itch for around $1,000 and it's a nice watch.

How about a bronze Aquadive?

I was/still am a bit in a bronze watch phase. The first one pictured is what started it, a Kaventsmann Triggerfish, literally handmade by one guy in Germany. The second is a Helberg CH1, an homage to the 1960 Rolex Deepsea Special, from a German microbrand. The third is a Thai limited edition of 100, the Ideapixel BAT(bronze automatic timepiece.) Still have these three. The last one is an Oris Carl Brashear also mentioned above. Very sought after piece, I bought it used for $300 under MSRP and sold it for same six months later. I considered its chrono successor but it didn't sing to me in person.

Black Bay Bronze

Save a bit more and get a Tudor Black Bay Bronze

Helson makes their Shark Diver watch in bronze in both a 42mm and 45mm size. I had the 45mm and it was a great watch. Both of those are under 1500, so it isn't the most expensive way to get into a bronze watch with an ETA movement.
