Tudor dominated the news releasing the Black Bay Pro stealing headlines and getting heads turned. This new watch release is the best sport proposition for an entry luxury watch.   

It’s a clear inspiration to the older Explorers II 1655 and 16570 – with brushed bezel and fixed GMT, but adding to the mix classic case shape of Tudor their snowflake-like hands.

Coming in at 39mm, in satin-brushed and polished case in stainless steel the Black Bay Pro is extremely wearable yet providing the sturdiness for the desk- speleologist amongst us, with a 24-hour graduated fixed bezel in stainless steel the recalls to the 16570 are clear.

With a domed dials in matte black and the yellow snowflake GMT hand the readability is immediate and clear. Carrying the Calibre MT5652, COSC-certified, de Manufacture and a choice of three bracelet: black strap fabric, a rubber and leather or a steel riveted 316L with Tudor "T-fit" clasp with rapid adjustment. The case is 14.6mm thick so it gives it a bolder look and lug width is 20mm allowing you go to on strap shopping spree.

Black Bay Pro shows character, heritage and tool-watch design principles for professional use should you want to take it for a rough day out. Looking at first, there is a clear call on the 1655 Explorer II, and thanks for being a run of the mill for many years the more common 16570 ( the brushed bezel really went mainstream with them due the scarcity of the 1655). The crown is a new design for house of Tudor with a screw-down and water resistance of 200m. But its large guard-less crown gives a solid, robust look with a rugged bezel look. This will make it a distinctive and recognizable immediately recalling to the two more famous Explorers.

With a case at 14.6mm this watch will not hide and will be distinctive.

The GMT function is the key in this reference: time is indicated by the "Snowflake" hand, running a complete dial lap for 24 hours. The local time is indicated by the shorter "Snowflake" hand set which sets by jumping hours moving backwards or forwards. With a 3 o'clock date is coupled with the local time hand; when setting the time and passing midnight in retrograde, it instantly jumps to the previous day.
