The elements of the Black Bay Dark’s personality have been drawn from Tudor’s history. A steel divers’ watch, it inherits the general lines, as well as the domed dial and crystal from the first Tudor diving watches. The indication of guaranteed water depth engraved in red on the dial, and the red triangle on the rotatable bezel can both be added to the list of important historic design features that reappear in this model.
The Black Bay line is the result of the subtle blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking.

Neo-vintage in conception, its manufacturing techniques, reliability, robustness and the quality of its finish are consistent with today’s more rigorous requirements.
