Each Spring, the vast majority of the world’s most elite watch outfits all converge in timepiece capitol of Geneva to debut their latest and greatest horological offerings. One such brand is Swiss firm Tudor, which has just pulled the cover off of several new and updated models and references for 2024, including a novel trio of monochrome Black Bay watches.
Just like Tudor did for its Black Bay Burgundy last year, this new trio of monochrome BB models gain updated bracelet and brand options, a redesigned bezel, and a new screw-down steel winding crown with an engraved TUDOR rose logo and blue-anodized aluminum winding crown tube — just to name a few of the changes and novel features. All three timepieces are crafted around a 41mm stainless steel case that boasts a 13.5mm thickness, and 200 meters of water resistance. Pairing a black bezel insert with a black dial, the three watches are kept ticking via an automatic Calibre MT5602-U movement with a bidirectional rotor system and a generous 70-hour power reserve. This self-winding Swiss-made movement also gains Master Chronometer certification — a status that’s now denoted on the dial of all three watches.
Devoid of gilt elements, the three dive watches consists of the M7941A1A0NU-0003, the M7941A1A0NU-0001, and the M7941A1A0NU-0002. Though all three references share the same 41mm case design, each variant sports a different bracelet or band, with the M7941A1A0NU-0003 featuring the staggered retro-inspired stainless steel five-link item that debuted last year, the M7941A1A0NU-0001 boasting a three-link Oyster-style bracelet with faux rivets, and the M7941A1A0NU-0002 coming fitted with a black rubber strap. All three watch’s bracelets and straps come fitted with Tudor’s T-Fit clasp as well.
The 2024 Tudor Black Bay monochrome family lineup is available now, with pricing starting at $4,225 for the rubber strap-equipped M7941A1A0NU-0002, $4,425 for the Oyster-equipped M7941A1A0NU-0001, and $4,550 for the five-link-fitted M7941A1A0NU-0003.
