A Fusion of Contemporary Details and TUDOR Heritage
The new BLACK BAY CERAMIC is a testament to TUDOR's innovative prowess, meeting the most stringent industry standards for timekeeping accuracy and magnetic resistance. Its defining features include a matte black finish and a striking contrast between the Super-LumiNova®-coated Snowflake hands and dot markers.
The 41mm matte black ceramic case, with its sandblasted and polished finishes, accentuates a contemporary form. The manufacture caliber MT5602-1U, also matte and black, underscores the model's exceptional performance.
This robust, durable, and reliable movement features a variable inertia balance with micro-adjustment by a traversing bridge secured at two points, a silicon balance spring, and achieves exceptional precision with a maximum daily deviation of five seconds (0 to +5 seconds) when fully assembled. The tungsten rotor is open-worked and finished with a sandblasted satin effect. Bridges and mainplate are sandblasted and polished, with laser-decorated elements.
The black dial is paired with TUDOR's traditional "Snowflake" hands, creating a powerful contrast. The watch comes with a hybrid strap featuring a leather and rubber lining, along with an additional black fabric strap with cream-colored stripes.
