Rolex
founder Hans Wilsdorf launched the Tudor Watch Company in 1946 in an
effort to offer the public reliable timepieces at affordable prices.
Since 2015, Tudor has been manufacturing in-house movements to much
acclaim.
With
its satin radial-brushed "Tudor Blue" dial, this Black Bay timepiece
boldly quotes Tudor's past whilst firmly looking to the future.
While
we're in the neighborhood of the dial, be sure to check out the cool
snowflake hands—a nod to dive watches the house introduced in 1969. The
rounded feature of the seconds hand has led to it being referred to as a
"lollipop hand."
The
hour markers and hands sport Grade A Swiss SuperLuminova fill to make
for easy viewing in low light. In addition, there is a minute track in
white along the outer edge of the dial. A lovely detail indeed: note how
the screw-down winding crown showcases the Tudor rose in relief.
Comfort
is king with the stainless steel case measuring 37 mm in diameter and a
slim 11.2 mm in height. Additional features include a fabulous 200 m /
20 atm water resistance, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a
stainless steel bracelet with a deployant folding clasp.
As
an officially certified chronometer, this Tudor Black Bay is dedicated
to accuracy. The highly dependable manufacture MT5400 movement gives you
70 hours of power, which is nearly three days!
From
its debonair stylings to its high level of accuracy, we believe this
Tudor Black Bay 54 will make an essential addition to your collection.

"Tudor Blue" dial; officially certified chronometer accuracy with
