The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.

Description
Introducing the Tudor Black Bay Collection bronze watch! Bronze material watches have been incredibly popular in recent years, beloved for their unique anodizing effect and vintage feel. Bronze, with its natural resistance to saltwater corrosion, is used in diving watches. The dial design draws inspiration from 1950s Tudor diving watches, featuring the signature "snowflake"-shaped, angular hands, 43mm in diameter, reminiscent of the brass used in ancient ship diving equipment. This "active" metal is a high-performance aluminum-copper alloy, particularly used in naval engineering for underwater components requiring exceptional corrosion resistance. The slate grey dial, crafted from an aluminum-copper alloy with a brushed finish, exudes personality. The bronze unidirectional rotating 60-minute bezel also features a matte slate grey anodized aluminum bezel, echoing the dial and creating a unique aesthetic. Every detail is captivating. The 3, 6, and 9 o'clock markers use Arabic numerals, and the hour and minute hands are exceptionally luminous! This watch features a Swiss-made Movement SW200 movement mechanism, 200-meter water resistance, and a sleek Black Bay bronze design. The case has a brushed finish for a more harmonious look. A slate grey jacquard strap is included as a gift; two colors are available. This unique timepiece is a perfect gift or personal accessory. Selling with original box at a first-hand price!
