In the 1960's TUDOR developed a prototype watch for the US Navy that never made it to production. Records were kept by watch experts at the brand and now a model inspired by its design has been made in the form of the Black Bay P01. Presented at Baselworld 2019, TUDOR has described it as a mix between a diver's watch and a sailing watch while remaining firmly anchored in the present with its hinged end-link system, connecting the steel watch to its leather strap and giving it the illusion of an extra long case. The satin-brushed 42 mm case has a matt finish, it's fitted with a domed black dial, painted luminescent hour markers and iconic TUDOR snowflake hands which glow for high visibility in dark waters. The dial also features a white seconds counter around the outer edge, a date aperture at 3 o'clock and the TUDOR logo and branding ensures the stamp of quality. The domed sapphire crystal glass protects the dial and is framed by the bidirectional rotating bezel with a stop system via a mobile end-link at 12 o'clock and screw-down winding crown at 4 o'clock. The hybrid leather and rubber strap is presented in a soft brown, with steel attachments and a folding clasp with a safety catch. The automatic Calibre MT5612 that drives the Black Bay P01 model is certified as a chronometer by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), it's a self-winding mechanical movement with a bidirectional rotor system and an impressive 70-hour power reserve. Waterproof up to 200 metres, the Black Bay P01 model - which stands for prototype 1 - has been designed to ensure robustness, longevity and reliability and has been brought to life just 50 years later. This TUDOR watch is available to purchase in store and online today. If you’d like more information about this timepiece, please contact us at info@hughrice.co.uk.
