Bronze Watch Suggestions

[vixen1700]

Have a bee in my bonnet now about a bronze case watch and like these ideas:

Magrette

Christopher Ward C60

Limited edition Stowa Marine

https://www.stowa.de/en/Marine+Classic+bronze+40+s...

Not sure how long the Stowa will be around for, but am really taken with it and love Stowa anyway.

So any other bronze suggestions!

[LaurasOtherHalf]

The obvious answer is Tudor BBB, which sort of kick started the craze IMHO. You need to try before you buy however, I found it an unwieldy thing to wear and not very comfortable at all.

Also the discontinued colour scheme looked better to these eyes.

[vixen1700]

I must admit, Tudor is not a brand I'm keen on at all.



Having said that, this does look nice but not something I'd want to spend three times the amount of the watches above on.

Should say £1k tops really.

I picked up one of these a couple of months back.....

I'm also keen to getting a bronze cased watch. I like the original Tudor BBB, I should have bought one last year at the airport at £2.3k.

For your budget I'd go for the Stowa, in fact I didn't know they did a bronze version and I'd get one if I didn't already have a steel version, see if they would do you a manual wind version as the movement is prettier, Stowa customer service is excellent.

Well I only noticed it last week by accident. It didn't show in their emals or Facebook page as far as I'm aware.

Everytime Cardshark puts up a picture of his Marine Original, I go off looking at the Stowa site again. That's how I noticed the bronze one last week.

Have two Stowas, a hand-wound Flieger Klassik and an Antea 1919 and love both of them. Totally agree, their customer service is excellent.

In the lead at the moment...

I actually prefer that to the C60 that I linked to.

It's also different enough from my blue C65 Trident.

Yema Superman Bronze.

Yema have been popping up a lot on my radar recently.



The bronze/bordeaux looks good and a nice size at 39mm. Will read a bit more about their own in-house movements which sounds interesting.

I haven't seen these in the flesh but some of the Gycine range looks attractive

Try www.zeloswatches.com, they have a few bronze models and seem to have a decent reputation, but I have no experience personally.

[Trophy Husband]

I have this and love it. 40mm.

They do have a decent reputation from people in the micro-brand know, but the designs are a little 'blingy' and chunky for me.

I'm quite taken with the Yema Superman.

Think I got 10% off that price too.

Love mine

Zelos are ace too. Sold my Helsman II and my steel Superman when I got the bronze Superman. Go 39mm if you go with the Yema

[richthebike]

Looks good on a brown leather too.

My Spinnaker Bronze is pretty good, here is a video I made of it

This is my daily wearer.
In fact it stopped me collecting watches because I now just wear this one. Being bronze, it gets patinated. If the case gets a dink, it doesn't really matter.

[Voldemort]

The bronze case is 'on trend' as they say. So, be aware that in a couple of years it won't be. Not only will you not want to wear it then but it will be (relatively speaking) worth nothing. See, for example, white ceramic watches.
