The history of the TUDOR divers’ watch datesback to 1954 and the launch of reference 7922. The first in a long line ofergonomic, legible, accurate and robust divers’ watches, it perfectly embodiesthe approach formulated by the American architect Louis Sullivan, according towhom the form of an object must follow its function. Furthermore, it laid downthe aesthetic and technical foundations of an ideal divers’ watch, those of anunderstated, functional and reliable tool.
The sixty years that followed the launch of theoriginal 7922 saw the constant improvement of the TUDOR divers’ watch and eachmodel gained unanimous acclaim from professionals in the field, including someof the greatest military navies in the world.
This is a beauty Tudor Black BayWatch. Bronze 79250BM
First and main attraction is for sure thematerial used. As a reference to the use of bronze in historic ships and otherdiving equipment, Tudor decided to update its best-seller with a case made in ahigh-performance aluminum / bronze alloy. As all the watches made in bronze,the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze 79250BM will have this warm andgold-looking colour, but only for a little while. It will age, it will gain patina(turning into a typical bronze green), depending on the way the wearer will usehis watch. Other novelty: the finish of this case. Other novelty: thefinish of this case. Previously entirely polished, with the exception of thelugs, it is now entirely brushed (even the chamfer on the sides) to guarantee ahomogeneous development of the patina. And because bronze isn’t hypoallergenic,the caseback is made in bronze-coloured PVD-treated stainless steel.
THE TUDOR MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5601
In 2015, TUDOR announced its first ManufactureCalibre in its history. A high-performance calibre of excellent precision andproven robustness, it offers a 70-hour power reserve meaning that its wearercan, for example, take off the watch on Friday evening and put it on again onMonday morning without having to wind it. Beating to a frequency of 28,800beats/hour or 4Hz, the movement is regulated by a variable inertia oscillatorwith silicon balance spring, held in place by a traversing bridge - a guaranteeof its robustness. Furthermore, the movement is certified by the Swiss OfficialChronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
This is a variant of the TUDOR ManufactureCalibre developed for the Black Bay model. It displays hours, minutes andseconds, and bears the reference MT5601, in which “MT” stands for “ManufactureTUDOR”.Please look at all the pictures, as they are part of the description.The watch is working and in great condition the previous owner barely woreit.
