Tudor - Black Bay Chrono

0 0 Monday, 19 April 2021 Edit this post

Tudor introduced the Black Bay Chrono, a sport chronograph powered by a self-winding Manufacture movement and presented in two dial options with contrasting sub-counters.

The 41 mm satin-brushed and polished stainless steel case is equipped with a fixed bezel in stainless steel with a tachymetric scale insert in black anodised aluminium. The screw-down pushers have been inspired by the very first generation of Tudor chronographs.

The domed dial, matt black or opaline, includes two hollowed sub-counters in contrasting colours, white opaline and matt black, respectively.

In line with the Black Bay aesthetic, the Black Bay Chrono model features the so-called “Snowflake” hands, a brand signature for divers’ watches since 1969.

The 45-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock and a date aperture at 6 o’clock are inspired to the first generation of Tudor chronographs.

The Black Bay Chrono can be matched to a stainless steel bracelet with rivet heads for attaching the links, shown on the side of the bracelet, a bund strap in aged black leather with ecru top stitching and folding clasp, or a black fabric strap woven in France on 19th century Jacquard looms by the Julien Faure company.

Certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), the Manufacture MT5813 chronograph Calibre beats at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers a power reserve of 70 hours. It features a silicon balance spring, column wheel and vertical clutch.

Derived from the chronograph manufacture calibre Breitling 01, with a high-precision regulating organ developed by Tudor and exclusive finishes, this automatic movement is the result of the collaboration between the two brands, which have chosen to pool their expertise in the design and production of certain mechanical movements.

The Tudor Black Bay Chrono ref. 79360N has a price of CHF 4,650 with strap or CHF 4,950 with steel bracelet. tudorwatch.com
