A unique patina will develop with oxidation on each case giving them all an individualized style, and you can always upgrade from the brown leather strap to a brightly colored rubber strap. The antique seeming crown lock allows for more security while also looking great and completing the aesthetic of this timepiece. The large golden skeleton hands and applied indices fit this 47mm case perfectly, ensuring the legibility of time. The deep brown dial matches the brown ceramic bezel, and for contrast Panerai has inserted round bronze markers displaying the numbers around the bezel. Resembling a true piece of machinery of the old seas the bronze material also makes it high resistance to corrosion from the salt. This utilitarian watch meshes style and function cohesively. The all-brown colorway stands boldly in this monochromatic look and really embraces the bronze case. For this new edition in the Panerai Submersible Bronzo family they’ve added a ceramic insert to the bezel. Panerai bronze diving watches hit the market in 2011, tying into Panerai’s history with the Italian Royal Navy (the Marina Militare), the sea being a focal part of their heritage. Price: $17,800 USD Case Size: 47mm Water Resistance: 300m Movement: Automatic Crystal: Sapphire. At $1,560, this is a worthy bronze piece to add to your collection. The air bubble makes it feel like the watch is underwater, but it serves a greater purpose of balancing temperature variances. Its domed sapphire crystal and oil filled case make it appear as though the crystal is nonexistent giving it an incredibly clear and seamless look-one of the coolest features. The 40 mm in diameter stainless steel, IP Bronze plated case, crown, and buckle work well with the distressed brown leather strap giving it a vintage charm. The Darkmoon BK IP Bronze is one of the models that uses an oil filled dial. Moved by his grandfather’s sketches of 1942 Italian Navy designs, Italo brought U-Boat to life by adding his own unique features such as the crown on the left side of the case and an oil immersion concept used in the U-Boat Darkmoon and Capsoil models. Italo Fontana, founder and designer of U-Boat, brings modern innovation to his vintage inspired pieces. Price: $1,560 USD Case Size: 40mm Water Resistance: 50m Movement: Quartz Crystal: Domed Sapphire. This all bronze timepiece comes in at a great value as the Tudor Black Bay bronze retails for just under $5,000 USD. Large white applied markers and numerals compliment the dial, and a unidirectional “brown-bronze” aluminum inserted bezel complete the look. The piece also comes with a complimentary “brown-bronze” fabric strap with a yellow center stripe to match the matte “brown-bronze” dial. The bracelet comes with Tudor’s new T-FIT clasp, allowing wearers to easily adjust the bracelet along its entire length. The bronze is not the only new feature of this piece. The satin brushed links pull inspiration from their watch bracelets of the 50s and 60s. While this watch is essentiall just a bronze version of the Black Bay, we really like it. Tudor had previously introduced bronze watches in the Black Bay family but have now expanded into bronze pieces for their popular but smaller Black Bay Fifty-Eight models, which features a full bronze bracelet, a first for Tudor. Price: $4,775 USD Case Size: 39mm Water Resistance: 200m Movement: Automatic Crystal: Domed Sapphire.
