TUDOR BLACK BAY 36 / M79640

TUDOR presents a BOMBASSE 🤩🚀

The Black Bay 54 is the most representative example of the first TUDOR diver's watch, the reference 7922. The 37 mm case retains the same proportions as before, while benefiting from the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre MT5400 and water resistance to 200 m, technical feats.

HISTORICAL PROPORTIONS AND TECHNICAL PROWESS

The Black Bay 54 model is the model closest, aesthetically speaking, to the first TUDOR diver's watch, the reference 7922. Offered with a 37 mm case, it retains the general proportions of its source of inspiration while being equipped with the high-performance Manufacture Calibre MT5400 and water resistance to 200 m. A characteristic element and faithful to the aesthetics of the period, the unidirectional bezel does not have a minute graduation. However, the aesthetic details do not stop at the dimensions of the case and the bezel. The seconds hand, with its round luminous disc, evokes the appearance of the hand of the original model. The ergonomics have also evolved with a redesigned crown and bezel, but which nevertheless retain the historical spirit.

A DIVE INTO THE PAST

The spirit of Black Bay is part of the history of the brand. The Black Bay line has always highlighted iconic elements of old TUDOR diver’s watches, but the Black Bay 54 is perhaps the closest model to a specific historical piece created to date. The Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7922, one of the first modern diver’s watches, is a great source of inspiration since it is known to have been evaluated and then adopted by the French and American Navies as well as widely used by the pioneers of professional diving. The first versions of the reference 7922 featured a “small crown”, but not yet the red triangle at 12 o’clock, which would later become one of the brand’s signatures. These details gave it a refined and understated aesthetic. The Black Bay 54 is faithful to its model and takes up a large number of distinctive details. The minute hand, for example, in addition to adjusted proportions, is beveled at its base, as on the 1954 model. The second hand is as close as can be to the original. The profile of the bezel ring is also faithful to that of the reference 7922, as are the markings on its aluminum insert. The Black Bay 54 also features resolutely modern touches, such as a satin-sun dial and a “T-fit” clasp for a perfect fit and, of course, the Manufacture Caliber MT5400, a concentrate of high-performance watchmaking technology.

A perfection…

Among other aesthetic nods to this historic watch, the model offers a 39 mm diameter case approaching the characteristic proportions of the 1950s.

ROLEX AIR KING controversial history and
Identity mix!!!!

A professional entry-level model but not only!!!

An atypical black background, Arabic numerals punctuate, five by five, the display of the minutes.

The case with a diameter of 40 millimeters that of the GMT and its smooth bezel are irremediably reminiscent of the Milgauss.

The design is directly inspired by the British project 'Bloodhound SSC'.

The racing car was more like a rocket propelled by no less than 135,000 horsepower!

Five essential improvements will reassure fans of the brand.

The crown protection or more precisely, as the press kit poetically describes it, "the shoulder of the crown protection". With it ends any possible comparison with the Milgauss line.

This key element propels the new Air-King directly into the world of Rolex ‘Oyster Perpetual Professionnelle’ watches.

The three-link Oyster bracelet is now equipped with the Oysterlock safety clasp with folding buckle, which, according to the brand, is “designed by Rolex and patented, preventing any involuntary opening. It has the Easylink comfort quick extension, developed by the brand, which allows its length to be easily adjusted by approximately 5 mm”.

All the Arabic numerals are adorned with Chromalight, a substance developed by Rolex to improve reading “in all circumstances”.

The oversized ’3-6-9’ numerals are retained while the ‘5’ minute marker perfects its integration with the addition of a ‘0’, creating an effect of symmetry with that of the ‘55’ minutes.

This ultimate Air-King is equipped with the caliber 3230, bringing together all of the brand's innovations and presented two years earlier.

Its 'Chronergy' escapement combines, in the brand's own words, "high energy efficiency with high operational safety".

The caliber 3230 thus defends a solid power reserve of 70 hours, facilitated by the new architecture of its barrel.

The thickness of the new case has been reduced from 13 to 11.7 mm.

The PRO ROLEX will say that this watch has no history and interest!!! we are talking about aviation ✈️ also an automobile project 🏎️!!!!!
But today it is a must-have in a collection for enthusiasts like me.



ROLEX AIR KING 126900 

The Tudor Black Bay GMT, with its opaline dial, salute, bezels, in red and blue colored aluminum embodies elegance and robustness.

Its robust 41 mm case and matching bracelet lend a distinctive presence to the wrist, making this watch a true must-have for discerning enthusiasts. 
The Tudor Black Bay GMT Opalin is not just a watch, it is a reliable companion for those who appreciate the perfect marriage of timeless style and practical utility.

TUDOR RANGER 2022 

<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>

Passing by Tudor in search of an inaccessible star, this panda looked at me with black eyes for which the illustrious Django would have broken a string or two on his guitar... So I decided to adopt him on the spot because I must admit the call of the Panda had been resonating in me for some time and I could not find the rare pearl. Or else the pearl was too rare and my finances would not have recovered. And then I still want to walk the animal on the main boulevards knowing that I am not armed. In short, we fell into each other's arms - well especially him on my right arm - and all he lacks is the growl! A complication not invented to this day I think...

She was the one who looked at me

Fan of the old Daytona, I discovered it at my jeweler and it was obvious it was made for me the vintage style, the panda and a tool side Watch with 200m of water resistance at an attractive price bravo Tudor from my small collection it is my favorite watch that I can wear for all occasions.

A panda at an attractive price

I wanted a mechanical, waterproof chronograph. I really liked the Tudor Black Bay Chrono, but its metal bracelet didn't suit my tastes. I can't explain it, but I was missing a little something to really crack.

A few months later, a new watch caught my eye: an incredible Black Bay Chrono with a pink dial and a jubilee-style bracelet. The only problem? It was a limited production. Without really believing it, I went to my watchmaker, a Tudor distributor, who put me on the list. I didn't believe it, but after seven long months of waiting, they finally called me: the watch had arrived!

I tried it on, and it was love at first sight. I was seduced by everything: the jubilee bracelet, both elegant and comfortable, which lightens the design; the pink tint of the dial, softer and subtler than in the photo; the perfectly integrated date; the contrast of the sub-dials; and impeccable readability. This watch is a real revelation, impossible to resist!

The Black Bay Chrono sees life through rose-tinted glasses

I have recently owned this bb chrono, I happened to enter a shop that surprisingly had one in stock, this watch is the typical example that reviews and other tests on the internet are not enough, I found it nice but I always heard about its thickness being too important, but once in hand and on the wrist it is another story, so it must be clear it is an automatic chrono so it is not the thinnest watch in the world but it is very contained all the same! I chose the reverse panda I found that the light background made it difficult for me to see, the fake rivets, personally I do not even notice them. I can give a point decatir it is the Lum, which needs a lot of exposure to be effective, it is for example not at the level of that of my seamaster.

A panda with its head upside down

Like many of us, one of my favorite watches is the Rolex Daytona… the price is certainly high but the biggest obstacle remains the extreme difficulty in getting one! One day while browsing the Tudor website, I came across the black bay chrono model…. I fell in love with this model right away! I quickly realized that its resemblance to the Daytona was not for nothing…. 2 models offered, the panda and the reverse panda… After a few months of thinking, I went to AD Tudor to see the model and its availability. I made it short…. waiting list, phone call, it's in the store!!! I finally see it, I try it… first impression, it is massive, heavy, well finished, in short you get your money's worth!!!! I've had it for 8 months now, and I am very satisfied with my purchase…. Some will say that I am happy by default, but no! This Tudor chrono is a truly beautiful watch with high specifications....and it deserves to be purchased...thanks and well done Tudor!!

If you can't have a daytona...

Having truly fallen under the spell of time in 2021, I was looking to acquire my second timepiece from a major watch manufacturer 1 and a half years later. However, after watching many videos of Xavier, after reading an infinite number of articles and specialist magazines, I still couldn't make up my mind... 
One fine day (or was it a night?), I went to a shop well known to the people of Lyon for its second-hand watches to just "look and try" without any definite intention to buy and luck would have it that I found myself next to this beauty in the same place, at the same time. 
From the window, my attention was caught. It must be said that it is imposing with its 41mm case that the 2 push buttons and the imposing flat crown with a rose logo make even more imposing. The watch is "heavy" which goes hand in hand with the impression of solidity that it gives off. Comfortable to wear on the wrist, mesmerizing visual: The black-opal mix is really successful and the absence of a third under-counter alongside the small seconds and the timer avoids weighing down the dial too much. "Oyster" bracelet with classic folding clasp and closure forming the "Tudor Shield". Nice.
The aluminum tachymeter bezel and silver indications are outdated but undeniably make the charm of the watch. The stopwatch is, in 2023, a gadget but remains an essential watchmaking complication! Be careful to screw the buttons back in after use otherwise bye-bye to the water resistance (200 meters)! (We learn this with experience -_-)
COSC certification for remarkable and noted precision as much as the domed sapphire crystal.
The watch is difficult to find in AD which confirms that Tudor has been moving upmarket for a few years and is now only the "little sister of Rolex". #waitinglist. It can therefore be an interesting investment (its value on the grey market tends to be higher than in stores)
On the downsides, the case back is solid and poorly worked. No aesthetic interest. The luminova is not the brightest and fades quickly and the chronograph second hand is not coated with it so that the functionality is of no use at night or in the dark. Noted. Date window at 6 o'clock without a magnifying glass. Too bad.
The whole thing is still very good, however; try it and you'll love it! Nb: its sporty look suits all types of styles or outfits but its size requires a certain wrist size.



Big P.A.N.D.A

I was on vacation in Spain and I had the opportunity to try it at an AD. I was immediately impressed by the comfort of wearing this watch and the thickness so criticized was not the steak I expected. I love the concept of a chrono resistant to 20 bars. This makes it a solid watch that fears (almost) nothing. I like this bezel and the two sub-counters inspired by the first chronos of the 70s. The symmetry of the dial is remarkable and the opaline color fascinates me. The precision of the movement is surprising and my watch is particularly very well adjusted. This chrono for the 50th anniversary of the Tudor chrono is a success.

She's clinical!
