The Black Bay line is the result of a subtle blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking. Far from simply being an identical re-release of a classic, each watch brings together over 60 years of TUDOR divers` watchmaking heritage while being resolutely anchored in the present. The satin sun-brushed silver dial is crafted by the most meticulous professionals in the field with applique hour markers and hands with the Swiss Super-LumiNova® phosphorescent material. The dial inspired by the TUDOR divers’ watches produced during the 1950s. They feature a prominent winding crown as a nod to the famous 7924 reference of 1958, aka the Big Crown, while its characteristic angular hands, known as "Snowflakes", were borrowed from the TUDOR watches used by the French National Navy in the 1970s.
