TUDOR HERITAGE BLACK BAY
Steeped in the mysterious aura of a hidden bay, the TUDOR Heritage Black Bay offers a window onto several decades of adventures in deep waters.
The new Heritage Black Bay exalts the original TUDOR Submariner tool-watches and their presence on the wrists of divers in some of the world’s greatest navies. With its black-chocolate dial, its pink-gold hands and hour markers, its creamy luminescent material and its burgundy bezel, this Heritage Black Bay is reminiscent of the gentle warm patina of an antique watch. It tells of the nostalgia for objects whose appeal increases over time and plays on the charm of its attractive aura.
VINTAGE LINES
An open book on decades of deep-water adventures, the Heritage Black Bay features lines inspired by the brand’s first diver’s watch, the TUDOR Submariner, launched in 1954. Its slender, elongated lugs, domed crystal and dial are all details shared by the first TUDOR Submariners.
WINDING CROWN
The imposing winding crown of the Heritage Black Bay is a nod to a model presented in 1958 and dubbed “Big Crown” by collectors. The watch is waterproof to 200 metres (660 feet).
PAST AND PRESENT
Superbly crafted interchangeable wristbands, a robust 41 mm steel case with a refined finish and a coloured, anodized aluminium crown tube. These are just a few of the contemporary design elements that contribute to the Heritage Black Bay’s powerful identify.
Other details meanwhile - such as the characteristic angular-shaped “Snowflakes” hands first introduced by TUDOR in 1969, evoke the brand’s aesthetic heritage.
