TUDOR BLACK BAY GMT
The Black Bay GMT model is the perfect watch for those who need to keep track of multiple time zones. With its red Snowflake hand and bidirectional rotatable bezel, it allows you to establish local time while also keeping an eye on two other time zones. The durable steel case, waterproof to 200 metres, and the stunning design, inspired by TUDOR's heritage, make this timepiece a must-have for frequent travellers and watch enthusiasts alike.
The GMT function is a highly functional watch that establishes local time without losing sight of the time in two other time zones. Additional time zones are indicated by a red Snowflake hand, TUDOR's aesthetic hallmark, which spins around the dial in 24 hours, as well as a bidirectional rotatable bezel that is also calibrated for 24 hours. The twelve daylight hours are printed on the burgundy section and the night-time hours on the blue.
The Black Bay GMT model is a nod to the early days of this watchmaking function, with a design that is recognisable by its rotatable bezel, which derives its deep blue and burgundy colour theme from other models in the Black Bay line, but in a matt version. With a steel case, 41 mm in diameter, the Black Bay GMT model is waterproof to 200 metres (660 ft) and designed to withstand the elements. Its winding crown tube is in satin-brushed steel, new for the Black Bay line and aesthetically in keeping with the case and winding crown.
The contrasting black dial means that it is legible in all conditions, including night-time, thanks to its luminescent hour markers. The GMT marker at 6 o'clock is a handy feature for frequent travellers and watch enthusiasts. It's not only functional but also stunning, with a design that pays homage to the brand's heritage. The Black Bay GMT model is a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish timepiece.
A "RIVETED" BRACELET
The Black Bay GMT model's bracelet is a modern take on a classic design from TUDOR's past. Inspired by folding riveted bracelets from the 1950s and 1960s, it features visible rivet heads and a stepped construction. Solid links and modern manufacturing techniques ensure durability and longevity. But that's not all - there are two additional strap designs to choose from! The "Terra di Siena" brown leather strap with folding clasp or the black fabric strap with a burgundy band made using the traditional Jacquard technique. TUDOR is known for its innovative approach to watchmaking, and the use of this technique is a testament to their commitment to preserving traditional methods. With so many options, the Black Bay GMT model can be customized to fit any style.
THE ESSENCE OF BLACK BAY
Like other models in the Black Bay line, is a stunning timepiece that blends the best of traditional and modern watchmaking. Inspired by TUDOR divers' watches from the 1950s and 1960s, its dial features angular hands known as snowflake, a beloved detail for collectors. The watch also pays homage to its heritage with the large winding crown of the first-generation TUDOR divers' watches that were waterproof to 200 metres.
However, this is not just a reissue of a classic watch. The Black Bay GMT represents over six decades of TUDOR divers' watches while incorporating the latest in contemporary watchmaking. Its neo-vintage aesthetic is combined with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, high reliability, and quality finishes that meet modern standards. It's a perfect fusion of the past and present, and a must-have for watch enthusiasts.
