Why customers love Tudor?

The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic is a watch that stands out for its simplicity and comfort. Comfortable to wear, it is light on the wrist, which makes it ideal for everyday use. Its discretion is one of its major assets, it does not seek to attract the eye. Unlike some watches that shine brightly, this Tudor is rather discreet and does not attract the attention of certain people outdoors. Only connoisseurs will be able to recognize it thanks to the Tudor snowflake hands, its black case and its dark dial. The readability of the time is a crucial aspect for any watch. Thanks to its clear indexes and hands, which stand out clearly on the dark dial, it is easy to read the time at a glance. Precision is an essential characteristic for any watch worthy of the name, and the Tudor Ceramic is no exception. METAS certified, which ensures exceptional precision among other things, it benefits from Imperial precision, only losing one second per day for the one I have. In addition, its superb black caliber is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, offering a captivating mechanical spectacle. It is sold with two different straps, a hybrid in rubber and leather, as well as another in fabric, giving it appreciable versatility to adapt to different styles and occasions. However, despite its many assets, the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic is not without a few negative points. Some might regret the absence of an essential element to make it a true diver: a small luminova on the unidirectional bezel. This omission may seem strange on the part of Tudor, especially given the brand's reputation in the diving field. Additionally, the lack of a black ceramic or black PVD steel bracelet option may be disappointing to some watch enthusiasts, who would have appreciated this option to complement the dark aesthetic of the watch. Despite these few shortcomings, it remains a safe choice for those looking for a discreet and reliable watch from Tudor.

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 :)

How beautiful is this patinated adventurer from 1975. It could have been called Marine Nationale but my beauty is not engraved and yet I love it so much. Saved and restored by a watchmaker friend I do not know all the misfortunes it could have had, it keeps the scars and it is in great shape today. I will spare it the great depths that it would probably still assume. Its shades of blue are the most beautiful of the divers that I know, its slightly slobbery tritium indexes and hands seem to assume 50 years of real life outside of a very cozy trunk.

Being young and practicing a lot of sports, sometimes extreme, and a fan of traveling, I needed a robust, precise, discreet watch with a GMT function. From there, in a budget of about €10,000 I had three watches in mind: the Rolex Explorer II ref. 216570, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M GMT in 43.5mm, then the outsider, this famous Tudor Black Bay Pro. So I left, at the time for the first time at Harits1870. I was 16 years old and despite the shorts and the t-shirt I was extremely well received, the Speedmaster that I had on my wrist had caught the eye of the saleswoman... The three watches were in stock, and the first to be eliminated was the Omega, much too big for me. The second was the Rolex, its 100m of waterproofness seemed insufficient to me, in fact, I was going to practice water sports with my watch. So, to my great surprise, I turned to this Tudor which was worth half the price of the other two. On the wrist it was a revelation. Since then, this watch follows me almost daily, arousing the jealousy of my other watches which remain in the safe. And suffice to say that I do not make life easy for it, it follows me on every sports session: trail, sometimes extreme hikes, road biking, bodybuilding, swimming, diving, a few impromptu rugby matches with friends, etc... Although it is really not the best for a mechanical watch, and its case has quite a few scars, it does wonderfully. Its precision is still as good as the first day (it remains within the COSC standards on the chrono-comparator!), it just seems to me that the rotor bearing dedicated to winding the watch is a little tired, but it doesn't shock me, it's even normal given what I put it through (but it's a professional watch after all). So I planned this year, after 3 years of extreme use to take it for servicing (but not polishing!), remains to be seen the verdict. Despite being one of the least expensive, it is without a doubt my favorite watch in my collection as it has followed me everywhere, and given the number of memories I have with it (I'm thinking of this big scratch on the bezel due to a stone it ate on an off-road rally!). This is the last watch in my collection that I will sell. I must admit, however, that the thinness of the Explorer II still catches my eye, it is its big flaw in this BB Pro, its thickness. It also has the lack of a quick date as a flaw, but given how often I reset the watch (never), it is a minor flaw. From a comfort point of view, despite being a bit heavy, it is rather positive. But I still recommend taking the NATO (of rare quality) in addition to the steel bracelet. The latter is one of the best on the market, the quick adjustment is great! However, I find that these fake rivets are too much, Tudor customers have been reporting it for years, but despite this they continue to put them... Finally, the flaw of this watch is that they tried to pay homage to the Rolex 1655 when it was not necessary. But despite everything, if you have a taste for adventure, this is THE watch you need. Its few flaws are minor compared to the quality and robustness of this one; you will go to the ends of the earth with this watch on your wrist!

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.

Precision, robustness and elegance are the order of the day for this retro/chic watch. The 39mm case fits perfectly around my rather thin wrist (16cm). After hesitating with the Navy Blue model, I don't regret going for the black "gilt" version. The gilding of the bezel and indexes, the matte black color of the dial and the red triangle match perfectly with the magnificent domed glass that accentuates the vintage spirit of the watch Unbeatable value for money.

My first watch that exceeds 4000e, I had to save this time ;)! But what a pleasure to have it on my wrist, yes despite its thickness once on my wrist I forget its size. It makes me want to wear it whatever the situation, working day and night I sometimes use this 24h mode. I look at this watch between the bezel, the dial, the crown everything is homogeneous, this yellow hand that stands out from the black dial, its Manufacture caliber MT5652 (COSC), a reliability to all tests. With your eyes closed, you need this watch at home!!! Concerning the Nato strap on the photos it is from the erikasoriginals site

Historically created in the 50s, this new TUDOR Pelagos 39 fourth of the name is a particularly interesting model with this 39 mm case, a more modest size, both masculine and feminine. It remains a real diver with these 200M, without taking anything away from its charm, its technicality or its elegance.

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 combines elegance and performance with a 39 mm solid silver case, exceptional water resistance up to 200 m and a COSC-certified MT5400 manufacture movement, visible through the transparent sapphire crystal case back. The dial, in a refined silver tone, offers a captivating play of light, while the leather strap adds a sophisticated touch. Although it is not recommended to dive with this strap, it perfectly accentuates the charm of this watch. A chic diver, made for adventure and distinction.

Since 1950, when TUDOR created one of the first modern professional diving watches, the brand has become the official supplier to the French Navy. With the Pelagos FXD model, with its fixed, very robust watch case lugs, TUDOR is renewing this historic collaboration.
