Why We Love it
–Tudor’s legacy as maker of high-quality tool watches was cemented long before the brand re-entered the American market in late 2013.
However, Rolex’s sister brand’s decision to tap its heritage when designing its newer products has gone a long way toward creating fresh Tudor devotees. Whether it’s the Black Bay Fifty-Eight series of Submariner-inspired dive watches or the Heritage Chrono inspired by the 1970s ‘Monte Carlo’ chronograph, Tudor’s modern lineup is a love letter to the best in vintage timepieces.
The Black Bay Chrono, a stunner of a modern chronograph with clear 1960s-informed design language, is perhaps one of the brand’s best values. Sporting an in-house movement from Tudor and available in different dial colors and case materials, it’s a gorgeous modern sportwatch from a brand whose expertise in creating such timepieces is decades long.
This particular Black Bay Chronograph from the 2020s is housed in a 41mm stainless steel case with screw pushers, a signed screw-down crown, a black aluminum tachymeter bezel, and a sapphire crystal. It features a luminous black reverse ‘panda’ dial with white subsidiary registers, a matching snowflake handset, a matching rivet-style Oyster bracelet with a signed fliplock clasp, and Tudor's Manufacture Calibre MT5813 automatic-winding chronograph movement with date powering the watch.
In outstanding condition throughout, it comes with all its goodies — including an inner box signed by none other than David Beckham!
If you love the look of the Rolex Daytona or a vintage Heuer Carrera but want something you can truly bang around without too much worry, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono should absolutely be on your radar.
Brand Story
+
Brand Story
+In creating Tudor, Wilsdorf wanted to offer “a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standards of dependability for which Rolex is famous.”
Tudors were in many ways Rolexes in all but name, with the same waterproof Oyster cases and similar styling. However, in order to keep costs down, the brand used off-the-shelf Swiss movements rather than their own in-house calibres. What resulted were watches that were more affordable than Rolexes to the consumer, but still uniformly tough and reliable.
Today Tudor has certainly defeated any impression of being the redheaded stepchild of the Rolex family, and their current timepiece collection — as well as their vintage counterparts — are getting the recognition and respect they most rightfully deserve. From the colorful “Home Plate” chronograph to the complicated Advisor, these models often picked up where Rolex left off, daring to be more bold and playful in their design. And now that the brand has introduced in-house movements while still managing to keep pricing modest, the company is better poised than ever to win the hearts and minds of millions of new watch enthusiasts.
