TUDOR Black Bay S&G Black Dial & Bracelet 39MM Automatic Watch

Swiss brand TUDOR is embracing steel and gold in a big way this year and has introduced a new line-up of two-tone Black Bay watches, with a never-been-seen-before dial size – the 39MM. Bringing a unique and glowing aesthetic to the Black Bay line, TUDOR's Black Bay S&G models are a welcome and exciting new addition to the 2022 collection. It’s an iconic tribute to the brands well-loved tool watch, whilst increasing and decreasing its proportions to embrace a sophisticated, versatile, unisex chic. The design perfectly incorporates every aspect of the rich Black Bay heritage, including snowflake hands and dot indexes. As a faithful reinterpretation of early TUDOR diving watches, the new Black Bay offerings have been designed for both men and women, refining the iconic aesthetics, clean lines and incorporating a shiny golden bezel. Beautifully crafted, the stainless-steel and 18CT gold model is complete with a new, mid-sized 39MM case, a smart black dial and finished with the perfect contrast of golden indexes and hands for an elegant touch - all set with a vintage cream luminescent fill for high visibility in dark climates. It borrows the characteristic angular hands known to collectors as “Snowflake” from models that appeared in the brand’s 1969 catalogue. Finished with the TUDOR branding at 12 o'clock, it's all protected by a flat sapphire crystal glass cover. In addition to the seductive curves, the highly polished yellow-gold bezel and the crown is new to the Black Bay line, as the precious metals used to date have been exclusively satin-brushed for a matt finish. Housed within is the automatic Calibre MT5602 movement, providing an impressive 70-hour power reserve, it has a five-year brand transferable guarantee and it's waterproof up to 100M (330 ft) which is ideal for everyday wear. The timepiece is presented on a two-tone steel and 18CT gold bracelet combining both polished and satin-finished links, making this the perfect choice for the fashion-conscious with a penchant for quality. Far from simply being an identical re-release of a classic, the new TUDOR Black Bay S&G brings together over sixty years of TUDOR divers' watchmaking abilities, at the same time as being resolutely anchored in the present.
