When Tudor, the famous Swiss watchmaker, made its comeback on the American market in 2013 following an 18-year hiatus, it was the Black Bay dive watch, steeped in history, which established itself as the iron of launches its selection of robust and retro-inspired watches. This iconic watch, launched a year earlier, finds its roots in the very first diving watch models created by Tudor in 1954.
An undisputed heritage
The first Tudor diving watches were equipped with a rotating bezel for calculating diving time, cathedral-shaped hands and a large crown for easy use. These features, along with later versions featuring Tudor’s famous “snowflake” hands in the 1970s, won over not only navies around the world, but also a new generation of amateur divers.
A renaissance marked by success
The reintroduction of the Black Bay in 2012, with its unusual burgundy bezel, marked the start of a success story in the watch industry in the 2010s, drawing enthusiastic attention to the brand. This watch was not only a tribute to history, but also a turn towards the future with the introduction in 2016 of an in-house movement, improving the performance and aesthetics of the model.
Increased performance
In 2023, the Black Bay benefited from a significant improvement in its quality and performance, receiving approval from the Swiss federal metrology institute, METAS, which imposes much stricter standards than traditional in-house testing. This latest model, faithful to the original burgundy bezel and featuring a diameter of 41mm, also offers improved portability thanks to a slightly reduced distance between the lugs.
