Now available to shop in the TUDOR Boutique, Queen's Arcade, Belfast. The Black Bay Chrono is already a daring design, and with this boutique exclusive, it now features a “TUDOR Blue” dial that adds a distinct, very brand-specific character.
Since the launch in 1970 of the Oysterdate model, its first chronograph, TUDOR has produced watches that are tied to the world of motor sport. Since 1954, TUDOR has likewise been improving its professional divers' watches.
The Black Bay Chrono model combines these traditions in a sports chronograph for pursuits, with contrasting sub-counters and a high-performance automatic Manufacture Calibre. This boutique exclusive features a dial that taps into TUDOR's rich tradition of incorporating blue dials into all the lines of the collection.
This new Black Bay Chrono model comes fitted on a 5-link stainless-steel bracelet with TUDOR “T-fit” rapid adjustment clasp. Easy to use, requiring no tools and offering five positions, this practical system allows wearers to carry out a fine, instant adjustment of the total length of the bracelet along an adjustment window of 8mm. The clasp also features ceramic ball bearings that ensure a smooth and secure closure in addition to adding a pleasing tactile element to the action of the clasp.
The Manufacture Chronograph Caibre MT5813, which powers the Black Bay Chrono model, displays hour, minute, second chronograph and date functions. It has the finish typical of TUDOR Manufacture Calibres. Boasting a 70-hour power reserve and a silicon balance spring, the Manufacture MT5813 Chronograph Caibre is certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), with its performance exceeding the standards set by this independent institute.
Like other models in the Black Bay range, the Black Bay Chrono has adopted TUDOR's characteristic angular hands known as "Snowflake" that first appeared in the brand's 1969 catalogue. The result of a subtle blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking, the Black Bay line is far from simply being an identical rerelease of a classic. Resolutely anchored in the present, it brings together almost seven decades of TUDOR divers' watches. Whilst it is neo-vintage in conception, its manufacturing techniques and robustness, reliability, durability and precision as well as the quality of its finish are above modern industry standards.
