Tudor Reveals Its Latest Timepieces for Watches & Wonders
Comprising new Black Bay and Tudor Royal references.
Tudor has announced its latest time-telling offerings at Watches & Wonders. For this week-long event, the horologer will be showcasing its latest pieces from the Black Bay collection, as well as a brand-new Tudor Royal reference. Read on to see the watch brand’s complete lineup.
Black Bay
The latest aesthetic and technical evolution to Tudor’s emblematic diving watch, the Black Bay, is its third iteration that is configured with a new METAS certified movement, the self-winding Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U, which is fitted with a bidirectional rotor system. This currently only arrives in the burgundy bezel with a contrasting, and slightly domed black dial, all housed in the “original” 42mm stainless steel case. The piece is offered in a three-link or a five-link stainless steel bracelet, as well as an additional rubber strap that comes with Tudor’s “T-fit” rapid adjustment clasp.
Black Bay 54
This new addition to Tudor’s Black Bay is described as “the most true-to-form example” of the Maison’s first dive watch. Arriving in a historically accurate 37mm case made of stainless steel, the time-teller retains practically most, if not all of the defining features of the model. On the subtly domed and radial-brushed black dial are Tudor’s hallmarked “snowflake” hands, complete with applied indices that are coated in Super-LumiNova. Housed inside the Black Bay 54 is the MT5400 Manufacture movement that powers the watch for up to 70 hours.
Black Bay 31/36/39/41
Bringing a unique aesthetic to the Black Bay series, these new models star a mix of finishes that elevates the iconic silhouette with contemporary flair. Available in four different case sizes, the timepiece is outfitted with satin-brushed and polished stainless steel. Meanwhile, the dials are doused in either blue, anthracite, or a light champagne hue. As for movement, the 31mm version runs on the MT5201, the 36mm on the MT5400, and the 39mm size with the MT5602, while the 41mm is powered by the MT5601 calibre.
Black Bay GMT
Sporting a handy, multiple time-zone complication, the Black Bay GMT is equipped with all the usual design feats of the range, with added GMT function of course. its domed opaline dial comes in a galvanic finish, which provides a pleasant contrast to iconic rotating bezel in burgundy and blue. The GMT utilizes the highly functional and COSC-certified MT5652 Manufacture movement, which provides 20 ATM water resistance, as well as a 70-hour power reserve. Aside from the original three-link stainless steel bracelet, the GMT is also offered in a sporty black fabric strap with burgundy red accents.
Tudor Royal
Dubbed by the Maison as its “epitome of versatile and affordable sport-chic,” the Tudor Royal range welcomes two new dial colors — chocolate brown and a light salmon hue. Both versions feature a sunray satin finish on the dial, complete with applied or diamond Roman numerals. The watches are available in a variety of case sizes, ranging from the compact 28mm and 34mm to the larger but still rather slim 38mm and 41mm. A notable feature of the Tudor Royal is the signature notched bezel which stars an alternating cut-groove and polished finishes crafted in steel or yellow gold.
