Tudor Black Bay Bronze One

About this reference

The Tudor Black Bay Bronze reference 79250BM was produced between 2016 and approximately 2019. Collectors value this reference as the first bronze model in the Black Bay line, featuring a 43mm case made of a high-performance aluminum bronze alloy designed to develop a unique patina over time. It is distinguished by its "Explorer-style" dial with Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9, a chocolate brown colorway, and the COSC-certified in-house caliber MT5601 with a 70-hour power reserve. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $2,800 and $3,800 depending on condition and the inclusion of original packaging. A notable variant related to this model is the unique "Bronze One" produced for the 2017 Only Watch auction, which featured a left-hand crown and a khaki green dial, eventually selling for 350,000 CHF, significantly exceeding its initial estimate.
