Although often overshadowed by its big sister Rolex, the Tudor brand has established itself as a true symbol of watchmaking excellence over the years. Among the models that best embody the spirit of Tudor, the Black Bay collection deserves a special place. Indeed, it manages to combine the brand's traditions with its innovations. The Tudor Black Bay Pro is a striking example of this, with its bold design and impressive technical features, allowing this watch to establish itself as a flagship model in the world of diving and adventure watches. At Auberi, the leading watch and jewelry retailer on the French Riviera, we are proud to offer you this unique watch, which perfectly combines aesthetic beauty and mechanical performance.

The Black Bay Pro, heir to Tudor traditions

Tudor's Black Bay collection was launched in 2012, inspired by the brand's first diving models from the 1950s and 1960s. With its vintage design and sturdy stainless steel bracelet, the Black Bay quickly became a benchmark for sports watch enthusiasts. In 2022, Tudor introduced the Black Bay Pro model, a timepiece that retains the codes of its predecessors while adding technical features tailored to the needs of modern adventurers.

The Tudor Black Bay Pro stands out for its functional design and robustness. This model pays homage to professional diving watches, while incorporating elements from the world of aviation, with a highly legible dial and a rotating bezel that allows the wearer to track mission or exploration times. This model was designed for adventurers in search of performance, and it stands as a worthy heir to Tudor's long watchmaking tradition, alongside other emblematic references such as the Black Bay 58 with its vintage format, or the Black Bay GMT designed for frequent travelers.

Technical characteristics of the Tudor Black Bay Pro

The Tudor Black Bay Pro is a robust watch with exemplary reliability, designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. Its 39 mm diameter stainless steel case strikes a perfect balance between elegance and strength. This medium size allows the watch to fit a variety of wrists and can be worn in urban environments as well as for diving or outdoor adventures. Enthusiasts of Tudor men's watches will particularly appreciate this versatility.

The movement

At the heart of the Tudor Black Bay Pro is the automatic Calibre MT5612 movement. This movement, designed in-house by Tudor, has an impressive power reserve of 70 hours. It is certified as a chronometer by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), which guarantees extreme precision. This caliber is also equipped with a high-frequency balance wheel (28,800 vibrations per hour), ensuring excellent stability and precision. Similar movements are found in other prestigious models such as the Black Bay Chrono, confirming Tudor's watchmaking expertise.

The dial and bezel

The dial of the Black Bay Pro is a masterpiece of legibility. It features large Super-LumiNova hour markers and hands, allowing for perfect readability even in low light conditions. The watch is also equipped with a fixed steel bezel marked with a 24-hour scale, ideal for adventurers who want to keep an eye on the passing time during their explorations.

The dial color varies depending on the model, but it is generally available in black or blue, giving the watch a sober and elegant look. This aesthetic approach contrasts with other bolder variations in the collection, such as the uniquely charming Black Bay Bronze with its evolving patina, or the rare Black Bay One. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial from knocks and scratches, ensuring the watch's longevity.

A sturdy and water-resistant watch

Like any diving watch worthy of the name, the Tudor Black Bay Pro is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. It is water-resistant to 200 meters, making it ideal for scuba diving, as well as all other water sports and activities. This level of resistance is comparable to other technical models in the range, such as the Black Bay P01, inspired by military watches.

The stainless steel case is also engineered to resist shocks and scratches. Its solidity makes it an ideal timepiece for adventurers and professionals seeking a watch capable of withstanding the harshest conditions. The varied dimensions across the Black Bay collection—from the more compact Black Bay 54 to the more imposing Black Bay 68—allow everyone to find the model suited to their needs.

Tudor Black Bay Pro watches: excellent value for money

The price of a Tudor Black Bay Pro is generally in the mid-to-high range for a luxury diving watch, due to its technical features and the brand's reputation. The average price for a new Tudor Black Bay Pro ranges from €3,500 to €4,000, depending on specific configurations and limited editions. This price is justified by the quality of the movement, the watch’s reliability, and Tudor's watchmaking expertise.

It is important to note that, although it is in a more affordable price range than models from major brands such as Rolex, the Tudor Black Bay Pro offers excellent value for money. It is a safe bet for watch enthusiasts looking for a watch that combines performance, aesthetics, and reliability. This relative accessibility is part of the DNA of all Tudor watches, which aim to deliver Swiss watchmaking excellence to a broader audience.
