About the Movement
Beating to a frequency of 28,800 beats/hour or 4Hz, the movement is regulated by a variable inertia oscillator with silicon balance spring, held in place by a traversing bridge - a guarantee of its robustness. The movement is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
About the Family
The Black Bay was introduced in 2012 and rapidly became one of the most important watch releases of the decade. Its design draws from Tudor's mid-century dive watch heritage — the snowflake hands from the 1969 reference 7016, the gilt dial aesthetic of the 1958 references, and the angular case proportions of the 1970s models — synthesised into a contemporary watch that felt both nostalgic and new. The Black Bay's success revitalised Tudor as a serious brand for collectors, not merely Rolex's affordable alternative. The family has since expanded to include chronographs, GMTs, bronze and ceramic variants, and the in-house MT56xx calibre family, establishing Tudor as a manufacture brand in its own right.
