Ever faithful to its long tradition of blue sports watches, Tudor now offers a „Navy Blue“ version of its flagship model, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight. This very colour can look back on it’s own eventful history in the Tudor collection. In 1958, the watch manufacturer introduced its first diver’s watch with a water-resistance of 20 atm and it came in the very same dark blue, a „Big Crown“-model with the reference 7924.

Among other aesthetic nods to this historic watch, the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue offers a 39 mm diameter case made from stainless steel in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. This qualifies the diver’s watch for slim wrists and everyone who likes to wear compact watches and vintage enthusiasts.

In 1969, Tudor introduced a divers‘ watch with a blue dial and bezel. The other sports watches in the collection were soon attired in blue, immediately coating a lasting aesthetic hallmark known as „Tudor Blue“. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight „Navy Blue“ follows this tradition with its slightly domed, grained dial and navy blue bezel.
Tudor has equipped the uncluttered dial with its characteristic snowflake hands, which have been a hallmark of the manufacturer since 1969 – especially in connection with diving watches. Just like the the indices, the hands are coated with a lot of Super-LumiNova to ensure excellent readability even in the dark.

The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue is powered by a in-house calibre. This self winding movement with the beautiful name MT5402 is COSC-certified, operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of up to 70 hours.

Tudor offers the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue with three different straps: a classic stainless steel one, one in blue jacquard fabric with a silver band and a blue „soft touch“ strap which is entirely blue and made from a synthetic, tactile material resembling flannel.

Ready for Every Adventure with the Tudor North Flag

The modern adventure is a new neo-romantic vision of our relationship with nature, marked by the desire for outdoor experiences in which aesthetics play an important role. This trend originates from the simultaneous need for activity and the desire to take calculated risks against the backdrop of the great outdoors. Even if it may have to be postponed in the times of Corona, Tudor has been comitted to the pioneering spirit for several years and has presented its watches within the context of modern adventure. Technical, reliable, relevant and highly evocative, Tudor watches are made for the modern adventurer – even if he has to endure isolation at the moment.
Traditionally, Tudor’s watchmaking culture places the quality of its producs and the experience of their wearers at centre stage.

Today we introduce the Tudor North Flag, which belongs to hte coldest and most remote extremities of the planet, visited by expeditions and studied by universities but never inhabitited by man. This watch is one of the first, Tudor has equipped with its first Manufacture movement.

Angular and entirely satin-finished, the case of the North Flag creates a highly technical perception. Matt ceramic, isible on the side, and brushed steel on the upper face, integrate to strenghten the general technical feel conveyed by this model. The case is also water-resistant up to 10 atm.
The dials of the North Flag enhance the practical look of the case. In addition to the hour, minute and central second functions, the watch provides a date display at 3 o’clock and the power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. Yellow highlights loosen up the black dials.

The new calibre, Tudor MT5621, powering the North Flag model, provides impressive autonomy due to its power reserve of approximately 70 hours. This automatic movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hz and comes with a COSC certification. The sapphire crystal case back shows the movement in all its glory and matt finish and openworked central rotor.

The Tudor North Flag is completed by a stainless steel bracelet with alternating brushed and polished surfaces or a matt black leather strap.

Tudor Heritage Chrono and Chrono Blue

In the saga of Tudor historic chronographs, the reference 7169 happens to be an icon. Since its launch in 1973 it has been produced in a number of different versions, one of the most fascinating features distinctive touches of blue, grey and orange. It was produced for only a few years. We’re going to look at its new interpretation, the Heritage Chrono Blue, as well as at its black brother. Both watches share exactly the same characteristics just differing in their appearance.

Tudor’s approach to the design of these two chronographs was exactly the same as for all the watches in the Heritage line since 2010. Far from being merely a new version, these two watches are a reinterpretation in which past, present and future converge in both time and style. While all the aesthetic codes that contributed to the recognition of the historic models remain – a synthesis of the original spirit of the timepieces and a faithful reproduction of their key characteristics – Tudor’s Style Workshop has added modern touches to update the iconic spirit of these watches and endow them with a timeless strength.

The Tudor Heritage Chrono and Heritage Chrono Blue mirror the original shape and proportions of the middle cases, bezels, lugs and bracelets of the 1970s models. Only a closer look reveals a series of new design details. The bevelled and polished edges of the lugs, the stylized shoulders to protect the crown, and the knurled edge of the bidirectional rotatable bezel (featuring a black or blue aluminium insert and providing a second time zone) and of the pushers that flank a knurled crown to improve grip.
With measuring 42 mm in diameter, the stainless steel-cases are keeping up with the dimensions of today’s chronographs. They also boast a water-resistance of 150 metres.

The dials are enhanced with orange details and feature 3D applique hour markers with bevelled edges and Super-LumiNova to enhance legibility. They also feature two counters located inside two trapezoidal shapes, one at 3 o’clock for the small second’s hand, and one at 9 o’clock for the 45-minute counters, reiterating the one of the 1970s.
At 6 o’clock, Tudor placed a small date window.

The Tudor Heritage Chrono watches are powered by the calibre 2892. The self-winding mechanical movement provides a power-reserve of 42 hours.
The Tudor Heritage Chrono and Heritage Chrono Blue come with both a three-link steel bracelet as well as a black, grey and orange or blue, white orange fabric strap.
