Grand Seiko: A watch that tells a story

Tudor’s Black Bay collection was launched in 2012 and offers three different sizes of watches with three dial choices. Initially black and inspired by the Rolex Explorer model, the collection has since evolved to include blue and silver colours. The dials are characteristic of early Tudor divers with “Snowflake” hands, which are also characteristic of the brand’s watches delivered to the French Navy in the 1970s. The crown of the watch is a reference to the 1958 7924 model nicknamed the “Big Crown”. The Black Bay 41 has a polished steel case and a black dial with the text “Rotor Self-Winding” which adds a vintage touch to the watch.

A classic design with a touch of vintage

The case of this watch is made of bronze, a material that naturally develops a patina over time, giving each watch a unique character.

An elegant and robust diver

Geneva-based brand ZRC has launched a limited edition of 170 pieces of its new Grands Fonds Vintage 1964 Spirit Bronze watch. This watch is fitted with a bronze case, a material appreciated for its resistance and the patina it adopts. It is inspired by its previous watch, the Grands Fonds 300, developed in 1960 by ZRC and adopted by the French Navy in 1964. This new watch has technical features such as the Crown Protection System and the ECSTM which guarantee the security of the crown and the internal cleaning of the unidirectional rotating bezel. It is powered by the ETA 2824-2 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement.

An atypical diver

The ZRC brand was created in 1904 by Edmond Zuccolo and Joseph Rochet in Geneva, Switzerland. The brand ZRC was first specialized in the manufacture of chains for pocket watches and then of expandable metal bracelets. In 1917, she won the Geneva Grand Prix for industrial innovation for the creation of metal bracelets.
It was only then that ZRC developed its activity by producing cases in the 1920s before specializing in the design of diving watches, notably with the ZRC Grands Fonds 300 in 1960. Designed by divers for divers, the model crown was moved to 6 o'clock. The final version of this model was used by the Italian Navy, the French Navy from 1964 to 1982 and approved by NATO.
To differentiate itself from these competitors and make their watches safer, the brand has integrated innovation into these watches. They first created an extensible bracelet and a system making it impossible to immerse the watch if the crown is not completely screwed in. In the brand's range, there are several models such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zrc/grands_fonds_300"> ZRC Grands Fonds 300</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zrc/grands_fonds_3000_titanium"> ZRC Grands Fonds 3000 Titanium</a>, the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zrc/north_adventure">ZRC North Adventure</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zrc/grands_fonds_by_stef"> ZRC Grands Fonds By Stef</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/zrc/grands_fonds_heritage"> ZRC Grands Fonds Heritage</a>.
