THE RELAUNCHED BLACK BAY CHRONO MARKS 50 YEARS OF TUDOR CHRONOGRAPHS
F lourishing 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
