Is the cover back bronze also? Given true bronze is nickel free, I'm curious if Tudor took allergies into account in selecting the case back metal. I've often seen steel as the case back material of choice on bronze watches.

The case back is PVD coated.

I wasn't a fan when I first saw the release, but I have to admit the picture with the leather strap looks sweet!

Congrats on your incoming Lee!

Lee, Many thanks for posting. I've ordered one as well. Couple of questions if I may.
What was the weight like compared to a normal black bay on a strap? And did Tudor have any examples of patina we're likely to see on this model?

Regards
Jason

The pics are straight from Basel so I cannot answer your question Jason, sorry.

That's a sharp watch. If you don't mind me asking, what is the selling price? Did your AD give you a discount?

Not sure on price and I would think no discount, but I will ask.

Hi. I'm an AD and the watch is $3975 in the US. Will be available in May of 2016. I'm really excited about this model!!! This will be the first Black Bay to house Tudor's in House Calibre 5601 COSC.

Thanks for the info! Can you confirm pricing and timing on the other BB models as well?

I read that the patina will eventually match the shade of the caseback, which is why the caseback is a few shades darker to begin with.
