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.
Race day can’t come soon enough! With
the Black Bay Chrono, you’re prepared for the track, but with its
excellent 200 m / 20 atm water resistance, you’re in good shape when
diving deep, too.
As a COSC-certified chronometer, this
self-winding automatic watch delivers dependable accuracy with a
70-hour power reserve and the Manufacture MT5813 caliber in the engine
room.
The stainless steel case measures 41
mm in diameter, 15 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel
bracelet with a folding clasp buckle. In addition, there is a solid case
back, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, screw-down winding crown
and pushers, and a gorgeous opaline dial. The bezel sports a matte black
anodized aluminum tachymetric scale insert.
Applied luminous hour markers and
hands make for easy viewing in low light, and the subdials in black are
prominent against the luxurious opaline dial. There is a 60-second small
seconds counter at 9 as well as a 45-minute counter at 3. In addition,
there is a red-tipped center seconds hand and a date window classically
positioned at 6.
As a robust dive or track piece, you’ll
enjoy this watch’s versatility, and as a certified chronometer it makes
for a timepiece that you can depend upon.
