Just in stock today, the Tudor Black Bay Bronze 79250BA.
At 43mm, this is the larger and more imposing Black Bay, housed in a bronze case that changes completely as it ages.

And this one has aged beautifully. The bronze has developed a distinctive, uneven patina, shifting from warm gold through to darker, almost smoky tones around the case and lugs. Look closely and you can really see how individual the finish has become.

One of the great things about bronze is that no two examples will ever age in quite the same way.

This one comes as a full set with it's box, papers and additional nato strap.

Available now at About Time Watches, Wimborne.

Just arrived.

A classic Rolex Datejust reference 16220 with one of the most versatile configurations Rolex ever produced.

The 36mm stainless steel case features the desirable engine-turned steel bezel and no lug holes, while the original silver dial has developed a subtle, even patina that gently tips it towards a warm champagne hue. Paired with its original Rolex Oyster bracelet and accompanied by a period-correct Rolex presentation box and original booklets, this is a wonderfully honest example.

This Omega Jewellery Collection Ref. 1970.1101 is crafted in solid 18ct yellow gold and set with factory diamonds on both the bezel and dial. The case is fully integrated with its matching 18ct gold bracelet and signed Omega clasp. The dial features a diamond-pavé centre surrounded by a mother-of-pearl chapter ring with pyramid-style hour markers, combining precious materials with distinctive late-20th century Omega design.

This example is supplied with its original Omega presentation box. A particularly appealing feature is the untouched oxidation to the gold surfaces, indicating the watch has never been heavily polished and retains its original factory lines and finish. Condition is excellent overall, with only light surface wear. All factory-set diamonds remain secure, evenly matched and bright.

The watch has been inspected, is running reliably, and is sold with our 12-month warranty. Come and try it on now at About Time Watches in Wimborne.
