Part of their appeal comes from producing watches such this one, a Black Bay, which stylistically bridges the gap between vintage and contemporary design in a way that’s hard to argue with — even for vintage purists like us!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Black Bay is, along with the Pelagos, the brand’s take on classic Rolex and Tudor diving watches. In designing it, Tudor started at the very beginning of Tudor and Rolex dive watch history: The Black Bay incorporates a “big crown”, just like the first version of the Tudor Submariner, the Reference 7922. This historically significant watch used an oversized 8mm crown just like its Rolex counterparts, the 5510 and 6538. For its handset, the Black Bay makes use of a unique style first introduced on the most famous of vintage Tudor Subs, the Reference 7021 “Snowflake.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Black Bay, a Reference 79220R, features a 41mm stainless steel case, a luminous matte black\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edial with a matching ‘snowflake’ handset and gilt accents, signed crown, and a lovely burgundy unidirectional rotating dive timing bezel.
