THROUGHOUT THEIR HISTORY, TUDOR WATCHES HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY SOME OF THE BOLDEST ADVENTURERS. THE BLACK BAY PRO MODEL REFLECTS THE HERITAGE OF THE INSTRUMENTS USED BY THE PIONEERING EXPLORERS. THIS IS A TOOL-WATCH DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE.
The same movement is used in the new Black Bay GMT S&G (steel and gold), which is aptly being nicknamed the “root beer” for its bi- colored brown and black bezel — a name given to another watch with that color scheme, the Rolex GMT-Master II. The color scheme looks great with the two-tone steel and gold bracelet and gold bezel edges, along with the matching numerals, indexes, hands, and crown. This is a good-looking sports watch that is equally at home in the boardroom. The Black Bay Chrono S&G takes the yellow gold a step further to the dial, in a bold rendition of the iconic two-register chronograph,
here with black subdials — a reverse dial variant of the Black Bay Chrono from 2019. The fixed bezel is yellow gold, surrounded by a black anodized aluminum insert with gold-plated markings. The crown and chronograph pushers are all yellow gold. It contains the Tudor caliber MT5813, a high-end integrated chronograph movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch with a power reserve of 70 hours. With 200- meter water-resistance, this watch is a pure substance-plus-style sports watch that, when you consider its accessible price, blows comparable luxury sports watch brands out of the market.
