The "Chronos Top 10 Watches Rankings," a reader-selected series, was launched in conjunction with a regular feature in Chronos Japan. The system is quite simple: webChronos readers are asked to vote for their No. 1 watch from among the top 10 watches in Chronos Japan's rankings. This time, we tallied the results of the votes cast between September 18th and 30th on the theme of "watches with bronze cases."

It will be fun to watch it improve as it ages. The other models look like they've already been aged.
Although many companies were starting to produce bronze cases, the square case was chosen to give it a Bell & Ross feel, and the finished product was excellent.
This has the most impact
⤴︎2nd place

Automatic. Bronze. 605,000 yen. Inquiries: IWC 0120-05-1868

・The original vintage design goes well with the bronze case, which develops a unique character with use.
The dial color is inspired by patina, so it will look great as it ages.
・While maintaining good visibility, the 39mm size is easy for Japanese people to wear, and the subtle presence of the bronze creates a good balance.
