The Black Bay draws its most characteristic features from past models in the brand’s history. Its general lines, domed dial and crystal were inspired by the first Tudor diving watches. In 2021 Tudor introduced their first ever Master Chronometer certified timepiece in the form of the Black Bay Ceramic. It was a landmark moment for the brand, marking a real step up in terms of mechanical ability and finesse that puts them on a similar level to brands like Omega.
