Key Features

• Bronze Case Construction – The 43mm bronze case not only stands out with its warm, rich tone but also naturally ages to form a protective patina, enhancing its character over time without compromising durability. This oxidation process is a natural trait of bronze and adds individuality to each timepiece, reflecting the wearer’s environment and lifestyle.
• Grey Dial with Luminous Markers – The matte grey dial features applied hour markers and hands filled with luminescent material, ensuring clear visibility in low-light and underwater environments. The subtle contrast between the dial and markers enhances readability while maintaining a refined, understated appearance.
• Unidirectional Rotating Bezel – The bronze bezel with an aluminum insert allows for precise tracking of dive times, a critical function for safe underwater exploration. The 60-minute scale is easy to read, and the bezel rotates smoothly in one direction only to prevent accidental overestimation of remaining air supply.
• Swiss-Made Automatic Movement – Powered by a reliable in-house mechanical movement, this watch delivers consistent accuracy and requires no battery, relying instead on the motion of the wearer’s wrist. The self-winding mechanism ensures continuous operation with regular wear, appealing to those who value traditional horology.
• Sapphire Crystal with Anti-Reflective Coating – Protects the dial from scratches and glare, maintaining clarity and readability in bright conditions. This high-resistance crystal is a hallmark of premium timepieces, offering long-term durability and optical performance.
• Water Resistance to 200 Meters – Engineered for serious diving, this watch meets ISO standards for recreational scuba diving, making it suitable for depths up to 200 meters. This level of water resistance ensures reliability whether you’re snorkeling, swimming, or exploring underwater environments.
• Fabric Strap with Bronze Buckle – Includes a durable fabric strap that complements the bronze case, offering comfort and a rugged, nautical look ideal for active use. The bronze buckle matches the case and will age in harmony, contributing to the watch’s evolving character.

Important Notes

Please note that while the product is not discontinued, availability may vary by retailer. Warranty information is provided separately and should be reviewed at the time of purchase. The watch comes with a fabric strap and bronze buckle; additional strap options may be available through authorized Tudor service centers. As with all bronze timepieces, the case will naturally oxidize over time—this is a normal characteristic and not a defect. Regular maintenance by a certified watchmaker is recommended to preserve functionality and appearance. This model is listed under women’s wristwatches, though its design and size may appeal to a broad audience seeking a distinctive, high-performance dive watch.
