Something more…
The Submariner model, ref. 7922, referenced in the Black Bay collection, was the most popular watch of the 20th century thanks to its affordable price. Since 1954, when it was first launched onto the market, each new model has gained unanimous acclaim from professionals in the field who include divers and some of the greatest military navies in the world. Thanks to this praise it has become a legend in the watchmaking world.
Tudor Black Bay GMT
Passionate travellers will be thrilled by the addition of a model with a GMT function (i.e. an indicator of a second time zone) to the Black Bay collection. The Tudor Black Bay GMT has a striking two-colour rotatable bezel whose 24-hour scale helps to tell whether it’s day or night. Tudor has developed its in-house calibre for its GMT line, this boasts a whopping 70-hour power reserve and an exceptional resistance to magnetism. Choose from steel and gold bicolour, steel tension, leather strap with steel buckle or textile strap.
Tudor Black Bay Dark
The Blay Bay Dark design details are inspired by Tudor’s history: the shape of the steel case and the domed dial and crystal are both referencing the first Tudor divers’ watch. The handy waterproofness indicator and the red triangle on the unidirectional rotatable bezel are among the elements that all go to add to the watch’s excellent design. The elegant all-black version is a nod to the New Zealand rugby team, known as The All Blacks.
Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight
The 2018 Black Bay Fifty-Eight is a new addition to the iconic Black Bay family. Its smaller 39 mm case will be appreciated by enthusiasts for classical vintage design and those with slimmer wrists. The line is a homage to the brand’s first divers’ watches from 1958. The contemporary version references its predecessor, the original “Big Crown” model ref. 7924 waterproof to 200 m. However, the new version adds a new dimension: the smaller case is fitted with a rotatable bezel and an automatic Tudor Manufacture movement with a power reserve of up to 70 hours and a COSC accuracy certificate.
Tudor Black Bay Bronze
The Black Bay line with the unconventional bronze case is an excellent example of stylish vintage watches. Its 43 mm case makes it impossible to overlook it on the wearer’s wrist. The case is an aesthetic reference to brass, an alloy of bronze and aluminium used in old ships and divers’ equipment. Over time, a watch made of this high-performance material, and, depending on its wearer’s habits, will produce a subtle, unique patina. The Black Bay Bronze is fitted with an automatic Tudor Manufacture movement MT5601 with a COSC accuracy certificate and boasts a 70-hour power reserve. The casual feel of the watch is enhanced by either a textile strap or an aged leather strap.
Tudor Black Bay 31/36/39/41 S&G
In2019, the Tudor Black Bay family gained a new addition: a stylish line of watches in an attractive, eye-catching combination of steel and gold. Needless to say, all the much-loved characteristic features of the Black Bay models have been preserved: indexes, robust “snowflake” hands, waterproofness and an automatic mechanical movement. The model is available in three case sizes: 32 mm, 36 mm and 41 mm. Each size comes with a practical matt black or a champagne-coloured dial with a bi-colour steel and yellow gold bracelet.
Tudor Black Bay Chrono
The Black Bay Chrono combines the brand’s aquatic heritage, represented by the Black Bay family, with the queen of the racetracks – the chronograph. The iconic features of the watch go hand in hand with its steel case fitted with pushers inspired by the first generation of Tudor chronographs. A fixed bezel with an easy-to-read tachymetric scale enhances the look of this outstanding chronograph. Black Bay Chrono watches are driven by an automatic Tudor Manufacture movement MT5813 with a COSC accuracy certificate and a hefty power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
Tudor Black Bay 32/36/41
Elegant without losing its sporty spirit. Fashionable, but witha touch of vintage. Iconic and contemporary. This is the most purist watch in the Black Bay family.
Three case sizes with several dial colour variations always conceal an automatic movement. The Tudor designers have not forgotten to highlight typical elements such as the geometric indices and the "snowflake" hour hand.
Black Bay P01
Inside the timekeeper works a modern movement with automatic winding and a power reserve of 70 hours. Calibre MT5612 is a chronometer with COSC accuracy certification. The Black Bay P01 watch has specific pawls integrated in the steel case. The double flaps can secure the lunette firmly, their function is to fix it so that it does not move.Another feature that is significant to the Tudor brand is the hour hand "snowflake", which has a snowflake at the end of it. Perhaps the most significant is the seating of the crown at position 4. It protrudes slightly from the 42mm case with a matte finish, while at the same time not being distracting or pressing into the wrist. The black dial is endowed with luminescent indices and hands, while the perfect running is ensured by a flywheel with an anti-magnetic silicon thread. Even though the watch is waterproof only up to 200 meters, which means that it can withstand twenty bars, and the manufacturer does not recommend diving into the real depths with it, it is clearly one of the most successful interpretations of a diving watch that can be found on the market at the moment.
Black Bay Pro
Designed for adventurers, yet still so much Black Bay. The rugged case can withstand even uncomfortable conditions. A 24-hour lunette and an additional hand for the second time zone helps orient active travelers.The watch has a 39mm steel case with both polished and tarnished surfaces. Inside is the MT5652 calibre with a 70-hour power reserve. The precision chronometer is COSC certified.
