The Black Bay celebrates 60 years of diving watches with extraordinary heritage. The iconic model inherits the general lines, as well as the domed dial and crystal from the first Tudor diving watches. It borrows the characteristic angular hands, known as snowflake, from the watches delivered in large quantities to the French National Navy in the 1970s. As a sister company of Rolex, Tudor was founded almost a century ago. Using the knowledge and experience acquired with the Rolex brand, Tudor watches quickly became known for the expert craftsmanship used as well as reliable and carefully constructed Swiss-made movement within. Each Tudor watch has the quality of its older sibling but with its own style that is perfectly suited for the modern individual.
