The Black Bay celebrates 60 years of diving watches with extraordinary heritage. The iconic model inherits the general lines, as well as the domed dial and crystal from the first TUDOR diving watches. It borrows the characteristic angular hands, known as snowflake, from the watches delivered in large quantities to the French National Navy in the 1970s.
Enhancing the Black Bay with yellow gold creates a version named S&G, for Steel & Gold. TUDOR derived the characteristic aesthetic elements of the Black Bay S&G model from its history. The overall shape, as well as the domed dial and crystal, come from the first TUDOR divers’ watches. In this version the lines and proportions of the Black Bay are retained, while the rotating bezel and the winding crown are made from yellow gold.
The Black Bay 54 is the most true-to-form example of TUDOR’s first dive watch, the reference 7922. The 37mm case retains the classic proportions of yesteryear yet boasts the technical prowess of TUDOR’s time-only Manufacture Calibre MT5400 and a 200m depth rating.
The Black Bay GMT is an extension of the Black Bay line with a highly functional complication: a multiple time-zone function – also known as a GMT function. Recognisable by its rotatable bezel, which derives its deep blue and burgundy colour theme from other models in the Black Bay line, but in a matte version, the Black Bay GMT is also a nod to the early days of this watchmaking function.
The Black Bay GMT S&G is an extension of the Black Bay line in steel and gold with a highly functional complication: a multiple time-zone function – also known as a GMT function.
Black Bay Pro is an entirely new model with a dual time zone feature, a technical complication that establishes local time without losing sight of the time in another time zone. Compact, robust and sporty, this model boasts many unique aesthetic details and celebrates the spirit of the technical watches that TUDOR has produced for professionals throughout its history. Recognisable by its 24-hour graduated satin-brushed fixed bezel and its yellow 24-hour ”Snowflake” hand, Black Bay Pro is powered by the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre MT5652 with built-in GMT function.
The Black Bay Ceramic model is an extraordinary watch and symbol of the brand's technical expertise, with a case in matte black ceramic, a Manufacture Calibre and a Master Chronometer certification from METAS.

The highperformance aluminium bronze alloy, guarantees the development of a unique patina to match its user's habits.
The Black Bay P01 – which stands for prototype 1 – is a watch based on a legendary prototype developed in the late 1960s and proposed to the US Navy. It reflects the exploratory nature of the project, a cross between a divers' watch and a sailing watch. The Black Bay P01 lifts the veil on a little-known aspect of TUDOR’s history, with its unique aesthetic brought to life and mass-produced 50 years later.
The Black Bay 31, 36, 39 and 41 bring a more formal feel to the Black Bay models.
