EDITOR’S PICK: Many ways to Black Bay – a video overview of Tudor’s heritage hero

Felix Scholz

Editor’s note: The latest crop of Tudor Black Bays are beginning to hit our shores, from the hot new GMT to the svelte Fifty-Eight. The perfect time then to look back on a line that fuelled Tudor’s ascendancy to the powerhouse it is today, and was a major influencer in the whole heritage trend. But it wasn’t always the profusion of colours and cases that we have today. Back in the day, the first three Black Bays were real markers of identity, a call to arms for the tribe of Tudor. This video review from last year shows us the many faces of this versatile diver. 

The one that started it all – the Black Bay Red.
The Tudor Black Bay Blue, made famous by Andy Green.
The Black Bay Black looking the business.
The Tudor BB Bronze added some serious weight to the collection.
And the BB 36 scaled it down.
Feel the power of the Dark.
The Black Bay Steel brings the watch back to its essentials.
While the Black Bay S&G turns up the glamour.

 

The BB 41 scales up the 36.
The BB Chrono adds some trackside appeal to the diver.
And finally the Black Bay Blue Bronze Bucherer adds a touch of European exclusivity.
