TUDOR BLACK BAY CHRONO PRICE + SPECS Case 41mm steel case with 200 metres of water resistance Movement Automatic Calibre MT5813 with 70 hours of power reserve Price S$7,200
THE YEAR 2020 marked the 50th anniversary of Tudor launching its first chronograph. The Oysterdate Series 7000 or “Home Plate” featured an irregular pentagonal shape that reminded collectors of the home plate on a baseball field. Launched in 1970, the 39mm Oysterdate chronograph was a sports watch powered by the manual winding Valjoux 7734 movement, bigger than the 36mm Rolex Daytona models of the era.
Conceived as a robust, functional watch, the chronograph has a distinct design that has endured over the years. The first Tudor Chronograph Ref. 7031 featuring black Plexiglas bezel with 500unit tachymetric scale was re-issued in 2010, marking a nascent resurgence for Hans Wilsdorf’s younger brand.
