TUDOR WATCHES

Founded in 1926 by Hans Wildorf, Tudor Watches remains to this day a sister company of Wildorf’s other notable brand, Rolex. Originally intended to serve as a more affordable alternative while maintaining the reputation for high quality, Tudor watches quickly became known for their sleek design and the functionality for professional divers. Now the brand of choice for US Navy Seals and the French Navy, models such as the Black Bay range are popular due to them being waterproof to depths of 500 metres. Tudor manufactures its own movements, and in 2015 launched its first one made for the award-winning Pelagos model. Additionally, their MT5612 movement was adopted by Breitling in 2017, further cementing their own reputation as industry leaders in both innovation and quality. Tudor Watches owe their beginnings to Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex. Wilsdorf intended Tudor Watches to be more affordable alternatives to the Rolex. Today, Tudor Watches are popular under their own esteem. Tudor Watches have a quality and craftsmanship to match Rolex. This is, without doubt, is the secret behind their success. Tudor has enjoyed phenomenal popularity thanks to its unique and elegant sporty designs. Its models, including the Tudor Submariner, and the Tudor Black Bay, are at the apex of luxury timepieces.  Tudor watches contain Rolex case material and have a similar design. They look and feel like a Rolex, but are much more affordable. Celebrities who wear Tudor Watches include Tom Cruise, Lady GaGa, and David Beckham. The luxury and quality embodied in a Tudor Watch makes it the perfect gift for a partner, friend, or even as a personal treat. Tudor Watches are practical and reliable. Professional divers and military forces often use Tudor Watches. To top it all off, they have a timeless look. Meaning they will look great in decades to come, especially to collectors.

TUDOR BLACK BAY.

The Tudor Black Bay collection, initially dubbed the Heritage Black Bay, debuted in 2012 with the attention-grabbing 79220R. The watch, whose burgundy-coloured divers’ bezel was a bold choice at the time, provided the foundation for all Black Bay models that followed and it did so by deftly combining a mishmash of elements from several earlier Tudor dive watches. The so-called “snowflake” hour hand that is so emblematic now to the Black Bay family was drawn from the Tudor Submariner 7016 from 1969. The large screw-down crown, with engraved Tudor rose emblem, was introduced on the 1958 "Big Crown" model. The geometrical hour markers — round dots and rectangles, with a dominant inverted triangle at 12 o’clock — are derived from Tudor Submariners on the market in the ‘60s and ‘70s, as is the subtly domed shape of both the dial and the sapphire crystal.

TUDOR BLACK BAY CHRONO. 

To develop the movement for the Black Bay family’s first-ever chronograph watch, Tudor turned not to its parent brand Rolex but to an outside source, fellow Swiss sports-watch giant Breitling. The resulting Caliber MT5813, which uses Breitling’s self-winding B01 movement as a base, features an integrated chronograph powered by a column wheel, a 70-hour power reserve and a COSC chronometer certification. The bezel on the 41mm steel case does not rotate and its anodized aluminium bezel insert is inscribed with a tachymeter scale rather than a dive-time scale, bringing this model more into the realm of motorsport than marine exploration, though the screw-down crown and chrono pushers help ensure the same 200-meter water resistance as the diving models. The dials feature contrasting subdial counters at 3 and 9 o’clock in the classical and enduringly popular “panda” style, as well as a date window at 6 o’clock. The steel-and-yellow-gold S&G models host champagne-colored dials with black subdials.

TUDOR BLACK BAY GMT.

After the Black Bay Chronograph launched in 2017, Tudor’s growing legions of fans were undoubtedly wondering what the brand would do for an encore, complication-wise, in the Black Bay series. The answer came the following year, as Tudor, now firmly established as a collectible brand in its own right, pivoted back to an iconic Rolex model for inspiration. While the Black Bay GMT owes an obvious aesthetic debt to Rolex’s GMT-Master, it also fits firmly within the design language of the Black Bay, with its familiar dial framed not by a dive scale or tachymeter scale but by a bicolor 24-hour ring on which the wearer can read a second time zone thanks to the dial’s additional red GMT hand. The famous bright red-and-blue “Pepsi” bezel of Rolex’s original GMT-Master is here slightly modified to a more muted indigo-and-burgundy combo. The Black Bay GMT, powered by the COSC-certified automatic Caliber MT5662, is the latest model to debut in a two-tone S&G edition, which we covered in detail here. A new model with a white opaline dial, covered here, launched at Watches & Wonders '23 to further expand the GMT family.

TUDOR BLACK BAY PRO.

Launching at Watches & Wonders 2022 alongside the Black Bay GMT S&G Editions was another sporty take on a travel watch within the Black Bay family, the Black Bay Pro, which differs from the more coloUrful GMT models in its use of a stationary, satin-finished steel bezel with engraved numerals for its 24-hour GMT scale. The movement is the same automatic MT5662 that beats inside the Black Bay GMT, but the case is a more understated 39mm and the central hand that points to a second time zone is in yellow rather than red, offering an even greater contrast with the matte black dial.

TUDOR BLACK BAY 58.

Boasting both the original divers’ bezel of the 41mm model and a more modest case diameter of 39mm, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight collection hits the sweet spot for many contemporary connoisseurs. Named for the year 1958, in which Tudor released the Oyster Prince Submariner 7924, the most clear forerunner to the Black Bay, the Fifty-Eight sub-family contains the automatic, COSC-certified Caliber MT5402, a slightly downsized version of the MT5602 caliber, and has played host to a number of bold experiments in the areas of colour and case materials. The Fifty-Eight Bronze combines a brown gradient dial and brown aluminium bezel insert with a bronze case and a (very rare) bronze bracelet whose newly designed “T-Fit” clasp allows for easy adjustment to five different positions on the wrist. The Fifty-Eight 18K and Fifty-Eight 925, released in 2021, are the first all-precious-metal iterations of the Black Bay, the former in a case of 18k yellow gold, the latter in a case of 925 silver — which is even rarer than a bronze bracelet.

TUDOR PELAGOS.

Launched in 2012, the Tudor Pelagos arrived in the same year as the first of the Heritage Black Bay models – two outstanding examples of their genre, released at the same time, with the same movement, but with very different remits. The Black Bay diver was created for lovers of all things classical, and there’s nothing wrong with that. The Tudor Pelagos on the other hand, its name derived from the Ancient Greek for ‘open or deep sea’ – was aimed at a younger, more dynamic audience, a pure sports model with an energetic design. Waterproof to a Submariner-humbling 500 meters, measuring 42mm in diameter,  and forged from titanium – the only piece from either Tudor or Rolex at the time to utilize the metal for the entirety of its case (although the caseback is still steel) – the Pelagos was an obvious sign from the get-go that the perpetually overshadowed sibling brand was intent on announcing its presence with some authority.
