TUDOR Reveals Black Bay Showcase at Watches and Wonders 2022

TUDOR is celebrated for its adventurous spirit, technical prowess and acute sense of style. With a rich history and bright philosophy, the aspirations of Hans Wilsdorf have driven the brand to the pioneering force it is today. Embodying fearlessness and lending itself perfectly to the slogan ‘Born To Dare’, TUDOR is not afraid to push boundaries.

First introduced in 2012, the TUDOR Black Bay collection champions practicality and style, and quickly became a renowned collection throughout the horology world. This year’s Watches and Wonders presentation continues to honour the success of the Black Bay collection with an innovative release of models including the highly-desired Black Bay Pro.

Inspired by the celebrated divers’ watches of the 1950s, TUDOR has introduced the technically innovative new Black Bay Pro with a built-in dual time zone function. The Black Bay Pro features a contemporary 39mm black and domed dial, and is powered by TUDOR’s Manufacture Calibre MT5652, while being complemented by the symbolic luminescent 24-hour “Snowflake” hands.

Recognised by its graduated satin-brushed fixed bezel, the Black Bay Pro comes with a choice of three bracelets – a black Jacquard-woven fabric with a yellow band, the hybrid rubber and leather strap, and the folding riveted steel bracelet. The Black Bay Pro is complete with TUDOR’s “T-fit”rapid size-adjustment system, which allows bold adventurers or avid collectors alike instant clasp adjustment for sophisticated comfort.

With a nod to its aesthetic history, the TUDOR Black Bay GMT S & G comes with a satin brushed and polished 41mm steel case. Designed to ensure robustness, reliability and precision for travellers, the model houses TUDOR’s integrated Manufacture Calibre MT5652 which allows multiple time zones to be displayed at once.

The angular Swiss Super-LumiNova® “Snowflake” hands sit distinctly on an understated matt black dial surrounded by a yellow gold domed grained bezel. The Black Bay GMT sports a 24-hour bidirectional rotating bezel in two colours, representing day and night and comes accessorised with three bracelets – a stainless steel and yellow gold bracelet, a black strap with a beige woven band, or a brown leather strap with light top-stitching and a folding clasp.

In 1970, TUDOR launched a chronograph that would become one of the most iconic sports watches ever created. Today, TUDOR celebrates five decades of chronographs with the Black Bay Chrono S&G, which is the result of over 50 years of refinement.

The Black Bay Chrono S&G features the Manufacture Calibre MT5813, which boasts a 70-hour power reserve and is crafted in the purest watchmaking tradition, with a column wheel mechanism and vertical clutch. This innovative movement powers the model itself, displays hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph and date functions.

The steel and gold combination of the Black Bay Chrono S&G showcases the quintessential TUDOR aesthetic, combining sporting elements with a chic sophistication that means the timepiece can easily be worn day or night.
