THE RELAUNCHED BLACK BAY CHRONO MARKS 50 YEARS OF TUDOR CHRONOGRAPHS
Flourishing demand for vintage and contemporary collectors watches has propelled Tudor back into popularity since its 2013 return to the U . S . market . To mark fifty years of its coveted chronographs , Tudor is now relaunching the esteemed Black Bay Chrono model in steel , complete with a reimagined steel case . With two dial options and contrasting sub-counters , the Black Bay Chrono echoes the purest tradition of the sports chronograph , fused with a modern twist .
Since its first chronograph , the Oysterdate model , was launched in 1970 , Tudor has always devised watches tied closely to the world of motor sport . Likewise , it has been constantly improving its professional divers ’ watches since 1954 . The new Black Bay Chrono proudly combines these two famed traditions .
Snowflake hands , designed for high readability , debuted as a feature of Tudor ’ s dive watches in 1969 . The Black Bay Chrono upholds this brand signature while making it its own . Black Bay Chrono dials are available in both matt black and white opaline and include two hollowed sub-counters in contrasting colors to optimize readability . Readability is further enhanced by the Super-LumiNova applied to the hands and markers , enabling them to glow underwater
