The Black Bay celebrates 60 years of diving watches with extraordinary heritage. The iconic model inherits the general lines, as well as the domed dial and crystal from the first Tudor diving watches. It borrows the characteristic angular hands, known as snowflake, from the watches delivered in large quantities to the French National Navy in the 1970s.
Sixty years of TUDOR diving history distilled into one truly iconic watch. The Black Bay has been updated for 2016 with a mechanical movement manufactured by TUDOR.
The Black Bay line is the result of the subtle blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking. It brings together over 60 years of Tudor divers’ watches at the same time as being resolutely anchored in the present. Neo-vintage in conception, its manufacturing techniques, reliability, robustness and the quality of its finish are consistent with today’s more rigorous requirements.
