  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched to commemorate the 130th Anniversary of one of the most renowned Swiss retailer of fine timepieces – Bucherer, a series of timepieces with a common feature of bearing the signature “Bucherer Blue” colour were made by various manufacturers. The latest introduction bearing the handsome blue is the coveted Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze 43. With the regular Black Bay model launched in 2016 and exceptionally well-received, the timepiece has become a modern day icon.

    Without any difference to the regular model, the timepiece is powered by Tudor’s chronometer certified in-house cal. MT5601 with a silicon balance spring. Paired beautifully with a “Bucherer Blue” NATO strap with a gold racing stripe, the combination is certainly attractive and clearly represents the Swiss retailer in flying colors. The present well-preserved example is offered with its full set of accessories, including its extra brown calf leather strap.

  • Artist Biography

    Tudor

    Swiss • 1926

    Almost twenty years after Rolex was founded, Hans Wilsdorf established Tudor with the intention of making more affordable watches without compromising the quality for which Rolex was renowned. Tudor was named after the British Dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603, and their symbol came from the "War of Roses." After interchanging Rose and Shield symbols for a number of years, the firm replaced the Rose with the Shield logo from the 1960s until today.

    Some of the most recognized vintage models made by Tudor include the Submariner, a waterproof model first introduced in 1954, the Oysterdate, the earliest versions of which were nicknamed the "Monte-Carlo," the Heritage, which included the date at 6 o'clock, as well as the Pelagos, which translates to "deep sea" in Greek.
