The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

A year with Tudor: from the Black Bay Heritage to the Pelagos FXD GMT "Zulu Time"

A year ago, I purchased my first Tudor Black Bay Heritage, a watch that marked my debut in the brand's fascinating world. Today, I am renewing my commitment to Tudor by adopting the new Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT "Zulu Time", the result of a prestigious collaboration with the French Navy. From the moment it was launched, it caught my attention: its khaki strap adorned with the navy's coat of arms, its matte black dial enhanced with a touch of orange on the "Pelagos GMT" inscription, its luminescent crown and indexes... And, of course, its new GMT movement. This watch seemed to have everything it needed to seduce me.

A first impression: surprising lightness

As soon as I put it on my wrist, one detail immediately struck me: its lightness. This was my first time trying on a watch made entirely of titanium, and the combination with a NATO strap only accentuated this airy feeling. The Pelagos FXD is so light that you almost forget you’re wearing it, a feature that I found particularly pleasant.

The strap: a dark spot in a bright picture

Unfortunately, the NATO strap, although iconic, disappointed me somewhat. At this price point, I expected a strap of superior quality. This one, although aesthetically successful, is much too thin for my taste, to the point of making the passage through the buckle delicate. This detail, which could have been easily improved, slightly tarnishes the overall experience. A slightly thicker material would certainly have provided more comfort and robustness.

A timepiece that lives up to expectations

Aside from this downside, the Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT “Zulu Time” remains a remarkable watch. It has everything it takes to become one of those pieces that continue to surprise and amaze every time you wear them. Its bold design, military DNA and high-performance movement make it a perfect ally for fans of sports and technical watches.

I hope that this sharing of experience has allowed you to better discover this new creation and that it will enlighten those who are still hesitant to take the plunge. Tudor continues to prove that it is a brand that knows how to combine innovation and watchmaking refinement.

Pelagos FXD GMT "Zulu Time"

I recently acquired for my 18th birthday this magnificent Tudor Black Bay 41 equipped with this new 5-link bracelet with this incredible folding clasp. Honestly, I can only tell you between this ceramic bezel of such a captivating red, the black dial so plunging, its gold-colored hands and the indexes that make you think of a diver, without forgetting the manufacture movement and this oval "5-link" bracelet which is so comfortable. It is for the assembly that I needed to mark her 18th birthday as she marked this year 2023.

Tudor Black Bay 41 the watch of 2023

After discovering watchmaking and buying my first mechanical watch which is also a Seiko, I decided to get this Seiko turtle model with this textured white dial but adding a personal touch to make it even more to my taste. Indeed, I wanted to change the hands of the watch to put in place these magnificent Tudor snowflake style hands.

A watch that therefore becomes two-tone black and white simple and pleasant to wear thanks to the black rubber strap that I also added. It is a watch that for me is also important since it is also with it that I discovered the functioning of a movement since I had to disassemble and reassemble the watch to put the hands (rather technical steps).

This Seiko is strange!

<p dir="ltr">The brand <strong>Tudor</strong>, founded in <strong>1926</strong>, is the fruit of the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, also founder of Rolex. His ambition was to create a watch that would offer the reliability and quality of Rolex, but at a more affordable price. So, from the start, Tudor positions itself as a manufacturer of quality watches at more accessible prices than those of the Rolex brand. This extremely clear DNA allows Tudor to position itself on innovation illustrated by its brand signature: &ldquo;<strong>Born To Dare</strong>&rdquo;.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Tudor brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">From the 1950s, Tudor began to forge its own identity, although still associated with Rolex. In 1954, the brand launched the Oyster Prince Submariner model, affirming its position in diving watches. This watch featured exceptional water resistance, making it particularly popular with professional divers and water sports enthusiasts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 1960s and 1970s were marked by the development of partnerships with professional organizations. <strong>Tudor watches have been chosen by the French Navy and the US Navy</strong>, attesting to their robustness and reliability. The launch of the Tudor Prince Oysterdate Chronograph model, more commonly known as the "Big Block", in the 1970s is another important milestone for the brand. It was the first automatic chronograph with a date, a technological feat for its time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since it was taken over by Rolex in 1936, Tudor focused until the 1970s on professional models from the Rolex professional collection. The 80s allowed the brand to begin to free itself from it without offering models that would mark history.</p>

<p dir="ltr">2012 is undoubtedly a year. Important in the history of the brand with the launch of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay which will become the spearhead of the brand with a successful identity and variations increasingly popular with watchmaking enthusiasts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Today, Tudor is recognized as a brand in its own right, producing around 300,000 watches each year, most of which are certified COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing) or <strong>METAS</strong>, an independent Swiss label created by the Federal Institute of Metrology.</p>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated September 2024)</p>

A delightfully vintage "Tool-watch" that assumes its diver side with its 41mm diameter. It can also be dressed up with a black leather strap but can also prove to be a vibrant homage to the "007" of 1964 with the ad-hoc semi-NATO. The black bezel highlighted by the subtle red triangle makes it timeless and insensitive to fashion effects.

Heiress of the "Snow-flakes" diver

At first I looked at it and hesitated a lot and then I wasn't a fan of aluminum glasses. My real choice was rather towards a sub. And then availability imposed its choice... today I have both and yet this Black Bay has a priority place in my collection. Massive heavy, you have to assume. In short, it is my number 1. In addition, it still attracts less attention... I would dive back in without hesitation if I had to start again

My first Tudor I love it

I was lucky enough to participate in W&W 2024 on Friday. Despite all the new products present, I had 2 watches in mind and a stand to see in particular: Tudor and the new BB58 GMT and BB41 monochrome with 5-link bracelet... I had confirmed the favorite I had in a photo

Heading to the Tudor (Bucherer) pop-up store in Geneva to try to find the beauty.. 2 were available and I liked to try.. think.. find all the flaws and arguments against. This time a feeling of madness: buying it on a whim/whim at the risk of having to wait months and months once decided in France.

It's a bit early to have perspective after a few days but what I like:
- Very comfortable bracelet
- Top fine adjustment
- Perfect proportions
- Monochrome black (more timeless, less vintage)

On the wrist this BB gives me a very qualitative impression, which could be at the level of the Rolex but at a more contained price to be able to wear it in all circumstances, and that's the goal.

I think I'll give it a tropical bracelet for the sunny days.

Mini Sub'

Recent acquisition of a brand that I particularly like for its adequacy between the quality offered and what, in my eyes, constitutes the fair price to pay for a high-quality watch in full steel.

Since it freed itself from the overly oppressive tutelage of its big sister from 2017 and the arrival of manufactured calibers, Tudor has never ceased to impress me. Everything seems measured, calculated, taken into consideration to please a majority. Almost all of the watches are aesthetically successful, mechanically accomplished and historically consistent with its lineage.

This reference was purchased before Christmas second-hand at an unbeatable price. It is new from stock as of July 2024, which means that its condition is perfect.

For the rest, the description I made on my little eponymous IG page to my nickname here:

🚨N.W.A🚨 Tudor Black Bay Ref M7941A1A0RU-0003 Play it like Beckham.
⭕️41MM steel case with polished and satin finish, unidirectional steel bezel with burgundy/red aluminum insert; 60min graduation.
⚫️Black dial slightly sunrayed and domed with railroad minute track on the periphery and ivory-colored applied indexes with copper-look rim.
🪡 3 hands called Snowflake, Tudor signature since 1969 with blue SuperLuminova luminescent material. (Green being for Rolex)
⛓️Steel bracelet with 5 polished and satin-finished oval links equipped with a T-Fit clasp quickly adjustable to 5 positions and 8mm. Folding clasp with safety latch with the Tudor shield logo and featuring a ceramic ball system that is very nice to handle. 🚜Tudor manufactured automatic caliber with silicon spiral and independent METAS certification called "Master Chronometer", the highest possible.
This certification meets 5 criteria:
1/ Swiss Made criterion of excellence 2/Precision: The watch must be at least certified by the COSC (-4/+6 sec of tolerated drift per day). The METAS increases this variance to +0/+5sec or 2 times less. (Knowing that Tudor still imposes a -2/+4 for its in-house calibers)
3/Resistance to magnetic fields up to 15k Gauss for operation in all circumstances.
4/Waterproofness: Compliance with the ISO 22810:2010 standard here 200m (the minimum). The watch is therefore a so-called diving watch 🤿.
5/ Autonomy: 70 hours of power reserve. 👑: Crown (not protected) winding mechanism signed with the Tudor rose, plated on the band of the case. This Black Bay 2023, whose line was launched in 2012, is the 3rd reinterpretation of the historic @tudorwatch Submariner diving watches from the 50's. It condenses all the know-how of a house that since 2017 has truly freed itself from its big sister Rolex by offering robust watches, with indisputable qualitative finishes and exceptional reliability.

The student has surpassed the master

1st Tudor and instantly I became a fan boy :)
Everything is there, the quality is omnipresent whether it is the case, the dials and the indexes, the crown, the Manufacture Caliber MT5602 (COSC), self-winding mechanical movement with bidirectional rotor system and offering 70 hours of power reserve. And even the bracelet that I find very comfortable, the buckle is very beautiful and very easy to open and close. These famous fake rivets do not bother me more than that, we do not see them and forget them very quickly, even if I agree that at this price, and the brand image of such a house, real rivets were probably the least we could do.
A small detail also on this Black Bay, and never seen elsewhere at other houses, when you turn the bezel and return to the initial 0 position, you feel like it's slightly blocked, which means that you can put your bezel back in place without even looking at it, impossible to go too far and do a complete turn, it's a small detail, but it's exactly what we like! In short, completely charmed, so much so that I just bought the reverse panda chrono version! Yes, I've become a fan boy of the brand and I own up to it :)
