Tudor Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Edition 79250BB 2017 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Tudor Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Edition reference 79250BB is a landmark timepiece in Tudor’s modern history, renowned for its exclusive status and striking aesthetic. Released in 2017 as a collaboration with Swiss retailer Bucherer, this model was one of Tudor's first official partnership editions. Its distinctive pairing of a rich matte blue dial and bezel with a warm bronze case created a sophisticated contrast that immediately set it apart from the standard Black Bay line.

The large 43mm case is crafted from a special aluminum-bronze alloy, a material chosen for its ability to develop a unique, controlled patina over time. This natural oxidation process means no two watches will look exactly alike, reinforcing the individualism inherent in true tool watches. The matte blue dial, exclusive to this collaboration, features elegant gilt hands and markers, delivering a rich, vintage-inspired aesthetic that perfectly complements the blue aluminum bezel insert and reinforces the watch’s deep-sea diver heritage.

Powering the watch is Tudor’s excellent in-house Calibre MT5601, a COSC-certified automatic movement. This mechanism offers an impressive 70-hour power reserve ("weekend-proof"), ensuring exceptional precision and reliability. The extra-large screw-down crown, free of crown guards, pays tribute to the earliest Tudor Submariners and adds to the model’s historical charm, while the solid caseback protects the robust movement engineered for performance.

Though now discontinued, the Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Edition has become increasingly sought after by collectors for its significance as an early official partnership piece. It represents a pivotal moment in Tudor's story, where the brand began expanding its creative boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in its heritage. With its rich tones, thoughtful design, and limited availability, the 79250BB is not just a handsome diver, but a highly collectible milestone piece.
