Tudor introduces new versions of popular watch
TUDOR introduces the newest Black Bay, the latest technical and aesthetic evolution of the emblematic diving watch with a burgundy bezel. Representing the latest in Black Bay, this model features evolved design elements, a “T-fit” clasp and is Master Chronometer-certified by METAS. The original Black Bay first launched in 2012 with a burgundy bezel and it was given the Manufacture Calibre treatment in 2016. Now it returns in a third evolution. Tested by the Federal Institute of Metrology or METAS, the Black Bay brings together cutting-edge watchmaking technology with design elements inspired by Tudor’s nearly seven-decade heritage of making robust professional diving watches. Tudor is also introducing a bold new version of its popular model, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight, in 18 carat yellow gold with an open case back. This is a first for both in a Tudor divers’ watch. The name Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18K is a reference to the precious metal of its case, but also to 1958, the year in which the first Tudor divers’ watch waterproof to 200 meters, reference 7924 or “Big Crown,” was introduced. Among other aesthetic nods to this historic watch, this model offers a case 39 mm in diameter in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18K is ideal for slim wrists, people who like more compact watches, and vintage enthusiasts.
