BLACK BAY
PRO

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

Take the heritage-inspired Black Bay formula and tweak it to a professional standard on the bleeding edge of tool watch functionality and design. That resulted in a robust watch featuring a 24-hour graduated satin-brushed fixed bezel and a yellow 24-hour "Snowflake" hand, all powered by the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre MT5652 with a built-in GMT function. Now the design is pushed even further, with an opaline dial that boosts legibility. The ceramic markers are outlined in black, as are the hands, to create a bold contrast that bolsters the design, making it suitable for any type of exploration, whether polar or subterranean.

ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT

Throughout their history, TUDOR watches have been chosen by some of the boldest adventurers, like the 30 explorers who embarked on the two-year British North Greenland Expedition to study Arctic ice exactly 70 years ago, with TUDOR watches on their wrists. Brand founder Hans Wilsdorf supplied watches for the members of the expedition. He had just created the first waterproof and self-winding TUDOR watch, the Oyster Prince model, and couldn't imagine a better environment for testing it than the extreme climate of the Arctic. The Black Bay Pro model reflects the heritage of those instruments used by the pioneering explorers. This is a tool-watch designed for professional use.

STEEL BRACELET OR JACQUARD-WOVEN OR LEATHER STRAP

The fabric strap is one of the hallmarks of TUDOR, which, in 2010, became one of the first watchmaking brands to offer it with its products. Woven in France using a traditional method on 19th century Jacquard looms by the Julien Faure company in the St-Etienne region, its manufacturing quality and comfort on the wrist are unique.

For the Black Bay Pro, TUDOR has selected a black strap with a yellow band woven by these traditional craftsmen. The model is also available with a steel bracelet inspired by the folding riveted bracelets made by TUDOR in the 1950s and 1960s. These were famous for having visible rivet heads on the side of the bracelet that held the links together. The links also had a distinct stepped construction. These two aesthetic details are found on the current bracelet, which also integrates modern manufacturing methods with solid links and laser-finished rivet-style heads. Finally, the Black Bay Pro is also available with a fabric-like hybrid strap in rubber and black leather with a folding clasp.
