Tudor Black Bay

Wanting to enter the competitive world of luxury diver’s watches and as a sister brand to Rolex, Tudor released their first iteration of the Submariner in 1954. In those days, there were very few differences between a Tudor and Rolex besides the text applied to the dial and, quite unfairly, Tudor’s were often thought of as a ‘poor man’s Rolex’. Over the years, however, Tudor has grown considerably in confidence and individuality and re-named their Diver’s watch the ‘Black Bay’ to set themselves apart from Rolex; offering a truly unique watch of astonishing quality which, although originally based on a Submariner, has a charm and style all of its own. This gent’s Tudor Black Bay is presented on a rivet design steel bracelet with a folding buckle and safety clasp, but also includes a spare fabric strap. Its round, 41mm case is up to 200m water resistant, fitted with a domed sapphire crystal; displaying a black dial with rose gold index, framed in a matt black aluminium unidirectional bezel.
