With the introduction of Black Bay, Tudor has successfully submitted yet another Black Bay model for tests to obtain a Master Chronometer certification, as part of a constant bid to improve the quality of its products. This is the third application of this standard to a watch in the Tudor collection, and a step towards a future where the entire collection is METAS certified.
METAS Master Chronometer certification is comprehensive and covers the main functional characteristics of a watch including precision, resistance to magnetic fields, waterproofness and power reserve. Its standards are incredibly high, starting with precision. In order to qualify, a watch must be able to function within a 5-second range of variation each day (0 +5), that is to say 5 seconds less than the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) (-4 +6) carried out on a single movement and a second less than TUDOR's internal standard, which is applied to the brand's models with a Manufacture Calibre (-2 +4). The certification also guarantees the timekeeping accuracy of a watch subjected to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss. Finally, it also guarantees that the waterproof capability claimed by the manufacturer conforms with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 22810:2010, as does the power reserve of each Master Chronometer watch. It should also be noted that two prerequisites are necessary before the certification can be obtained: Swiss manufacturing must conform with the criteria of Swiss Made, and the movement must be certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
All the tests and prerequisites leading to the Master Chronometer certification, which the Black Bay has achieved, are summarised below:
Swiss Made
Certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC)
Precision at two temperatures, in six different positions and at two different levels of power reserve: 100% and 33%
Smooth functioning when exposed to a magnetic field of 15,000 gauss and precision following exposure
Waterproof to 200m (660 ft) in accordance with ISO standard 22810:2010
70-hour power reserve
The Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U, which powers the Black Bay, displays hour, minute and seconds functions. It offers the general look and feel of Tudor Manufacture Calibres with dedicated sun laser design and bears the Master Chronometer mention on its bridges, emphasising its distinctive performance. Its rotor is fashioned in tungsten monobloc and is openworked. It also features the distinctive laser radial grooving with sand-blasted details. Its bridges and mainplate have alternate sand-blasted and polished surfaces and laser decorations.
Its build is designed to ensure robustness and precision. To do this, the variable inertia balance wheel is maintained by a sturdy traversing bridge with two-point anchoring. This system together with its non-magnetic silicon hairspring, means the Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U is able to function within a tolerance range of 5 seconds (0/+5) tested on a fully assembled watch.
In its latest iteration, named Black Bay, the case keeps the original proportions of a 41mm in diameter case with a thinner profile. The unidirectional rotatable bezel offers very prehensible sides and its insert shows subtly curved numerals aligning with the outline of the outer ring. However, the aesthetic details don’t stop at case dimensions and bezel. The seconds hand recalls the look of the early diving watches of the brand with a lollipop design while the satin black dial is subtly radial-brushed for a very subtle shine under direct light. Ergonomics have evolved as well, with a redesigned crown, reminiscent of the curves found on the crowns of the brand's historical technical watches, that is set flush to the middle case band so that its tube is not visible.
The Black Bay comes fitted with either an entirely satin-brushed three-link steel bracelet or a five-oval-shaped-link brushed and polished steel bracelet, both complete with the “T-fit” clasp equipped with a system for rapid length adjustment. Easy to use, requiring no tools and offering five positions, this practical system allows wearers to carry out a fine, instant adjustment of the total length of the bracelet along an adjustment window of 8mm. The clasp features ceramic ball bearings that ensure a smooth and secure closure in addition to adding a pleasing tactile element to the action of the clasp.
A black rubber strap option is also available for the Black Bay. The strap comes in three sizes complete with Tudor “T-fit” clasp, and for the perfect fit, it is able to be cut down to the exact size of the wearer’s wrist. On the inside it features the signature snowflake motif for added grip, and it is form-fitted specifically for the Black Bay.
They took a watch that had potential but was never quite right and made it literally perfect. Reduced slab sides and thickness to same spec as SMP300, reduced lug to lug , added T-fit clasp but kept that gorgeous gilt dial, no date. For me, this is literally the perfect diver, perfect size and just the right amount of vintage nostalgia. Absolute win.
Only 200m WR so not the same spec as the SMP300, however I prefer this and it’s much cheaper.
@@Anonymouslyme1 yeah spec is the wrong word I meant thickness is the same as SMP300, which is quite respectable now.
Couldn’t agree more, I’ve always liked Tudor but haven’t bought one yet since have just been waiting for the right one as I’ve found little niggling things that have kept me from pulling the trigger thus far. Now I will for sure be getting this one, have always wanted a red bezel diver and have been waiting for this, prayers answered!
21mm lugs and no drilled lug holes is annoying
@@Anonymouslyme1 unless you are a professional diver are you really going down in the ocean 600 feet? I dive a lot not professionally but I don’t go to 600 feet! That’s actually dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing.
Definitely a winner for Tudor.
The burgandy color bezel with the jubilee bracelet is a beautiful refresh.
@@periscope7731 Agreed. I have the second version of that watch but would sell it just to get version 3.
@@eyeheartsushi2212 Same. I have the black dial GMT black bay but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to replace it with this.
@@_DioBrando_ Do you trade or sell the watches you no longer want?
@@eyeheartsushi2212 It depends. I always try to be patient and take my time to think about what makes the most sense. For example, recently I had a Datejust that I sold and used the money to cover the difference for a Rolex 40mm sd4k.
It's very apparent how they have reshaped the case to be much less slab-sided. Now it's like a BB58's bigger brother.
This looks amazing on the jubilee. Totally changes the personality of the watch. Slimmed down case is a huge improvement too. Well done Tudor and great work WatchAdvisor!
Best video I have seen so far on this watch. First time someone shows the sides and back properly. Thanks
This is how you video a review. Quality, details, information & a real passionate educated person.👍🏻👏🏻 Respect Sir🙏🏻 love ur channel since 5yrs u the no.1🥂
Can't wait for the black bezel version!
Significantly thinner than previous generation! I’m surprised Tudor hasn’t emphasized this point more.
Thank-you Alexander for doing these watch focused and not person focused videos. It’s refreshing to see simply watches!
As always pure class in terms of reviewing watches.
You are the only watch UA-camr who knows how properly show watches to its audience. 👏👏👏
The jubilee looks the best. I want it.
I agree! But don't call it "Jubilee" bracelet... :-))
@@WatchAdvisor How about a Tubilee '? 😀
@@WatchAdvisor Can you confirm 21-16mm bracelet? This is a huge thing. With 41mm bezel size, 40,5mm case size, bracelet 21-16 it should wear more or less like a sub?
Excellent video. The burgundy is gorgeous on the bezel and Master Chronometer certificate means outstanding value for money!
I love the fact that your reviews are all about the watch and the video is 99% on the watch. I guess I have to go down to my local AD to try the rubber strap version as it looks really comfortable.
Incredible. I will buy one. For this price, I consider these a very good deal, especially with these movements.
This is the best review and most thorough yet. Love this content and I learned quite a bit!
Beautiful camera work and really a superb revamp.
The best review of this new watches! Thanks!!
5:05 just to confirm, they reduced the lug width from 22mm to 21mm?? That plus the thinner case and midcase should be a giant improvement!! 22mm has always been a touch to wide for me
@@PepRex 13.5mm is not crazy for a 41mm watch.
They did it to prevent those with older models from buying the Jubilee bracelet. 21 mm is not ideal.
@@jeffreymorris6930 21mm is not ideal for many reasons for sure, mainly strap changing for me. But even if the lug width stayed at 22mm, the jubilee endlinks here are for the redesigned thinner midcase so they wouldn't fit the thicker midcase of the older generation as they'd be roughly 1mm too short.
@@jeffreymorris6930 but as I found out Tudor did a lot of trickery to make sure I wouldnt be able to swap the tfit bracelet on my BB Pro onto my BB58. Since the bracelet is only attached to the endlink via the spring bar I wanted to swap the endlinks and turns out Tudor added a little notch to stop me from doing that! And then they made the width of the center links off by 0.1 or 0.2mm so that I wouldn't be able to swap just the clasps! (I did a video on it if you want more info )
@@thewatchidiot I watched your video, mate. It was excellent. Business decisions will be made, and I get that. As a larger human, I'd have preferred they simply reduced the case thickness and added the t-fit bracelets. This watch, while still technically 41 mm, appears to be a slightly larger BB 58 clone. Of course, we'll soon find out when you do a comparison video. Cheers!
Danke vielmal Alexander, your reviews are the gold standard of watch reviews.
Of course! Alexander always delivers!
Love this watch... especially on that jubilee style bracelet... 🔥
That 5-link bracelet looks cool! Plus the burgundy bezel, winner!
this watch looks absolutely brilliant! that extra 1mm shaved off the thickness combined with the slight case side changes makes it MUCH more desirable then the outgoing models! also the METAS certification of no more then +5 seconds and never going minus is perfect! had it had an option for a date at 6pm or a frame date at 3pm while maintaining thickness would be even more perfect ! tudor really hit a home-run with their releases this year!
Awesome video! Always ahead of the pack when it comes to hands on reviews! Thank you
Got mine with the 5 link yesterday! Initially went in for a BB58 but this burgundy was hard to pass. Looks amazing in person and a lot smaller
Congratulations! May your Tudor always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
Very interesting and informative.
Not being a watch aficionado I was expecting Tudor to be using the Breitling mechanisms for most of their new watches
Always good to be Informed correctly 😊
Breitling? Breitling only do Chronograph movements in-house. For 3-handers they use ETA or Sellita. Tudor owns Kenissi, it's basically their subsidiary that developed and makes their in-house movement which is pretty much Rolex-levels of flawlessness.
@Fine Naval Jewelry thanks for that information mate. 👍
Much appreciated 😀
Just wanted to come back to this video after I first watched it months ago and fell in love with this watch. Today I picked it up on the rubber and it’s amazing!! You sold me on it
Thanks for this wonderful feedback! Congratulations! Bravo! May your Tudor always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours! Please share some thoughts with us after wearing it for a while…
Hi , just saw your message and I’m between buying the same version as I live near ocean and do want to buy the rubber bracelet with T-Fir my wrist size must be bit small 17,5 on summer maybe bit more ( I live in Algarve most time it’s very very hot 🥵) 39,40 plus Celsius, my first question how it is the rubber strap? Kind of “oyster flex “ with titanium cables or spring inside to give a good fit ( not like an regular rubber strap?) what do you think about this version compared with older model discontinued last year 2022 on a the leather strap? Do like the 5 links bracelet “ jubilee “ but not sure yet would like to have some opinions…. Please if you can ! 😊 plus are lume good for a almost 5 k watch?
Last , do you recommend this model instead of Pelagos model ? I know the Pelagos it’s a more sporty design, always like the Tudor’s or an Omega Seamaster not big fan of Rolex very flashy plus that beautiful burgundy aluminium bezel looks awesome! Have myself few vintage ones do know they can scratch much easier all this said what’s your opinion my friend?
Or Alex if you are reading the answers etc ? Would be great to have a good opinion about this awesome Tudor BB41 !
All the best and waiting for your reply, kind regards from Algarve-Portugal!
Obrigado!
@@69fastfurious I'll do my best to answer below:
Rubber strap - it feels great, feels expensive and honestly not far off the oyster flex. It would still feel appropriate if this watch was $10k. It’s been great in the hot weather so far. They cut it to fit you, just like the oyster flex.
What do you think about this version compared with older model - I like the new movement, and it’s just a bit thinner. I also like the jubilee, but I want a Rolex GMT on the jubilee, so I wanted this watch on the rubber specifically. The old one is nice too, but the new one with the master chronometer movement is worth it to me.
Is lume good for a almost 5 k watch? - Lume is excellent. My wife was surprised at how bright it was, after I spent some time out in the sun.
Last , do you recommend this model instead of Pelagos model - Good question, I first found a 39mm Pelagos, I was excited and thought I would buy it. But after trying it on, I was disappointed. It’s just kinda boring. And no t-fit clasp on the rubber, it’s basic. No color, everything brushed. The red bezel makes the black bay special, and I’ve already had a person comment on it.
Overall, I love the watch and I think it’s the best watch under 5k at the moment. It looks and feels expensive and has a super accurate movement. Well worth it.
really one of the best watch-channels here! Thanks for the great content Alex!
Seriously, Alexander gets these videos up so quickly with excellent detail. Most of the UA-cam channels are putting out nonsense at Watches and Wonders looking for clicks. Should have even more views and subscribers.
Hallo Alexander, I watched your review. I ordered the watch at my AD. I got it on the 23 November. I love it, the “5 “ link bracelet is like the the Rolex jubilee. I own a datejust 41 blue motive dail. A great watch.👍👍👍
Congratulations! Bravo! I love your comment, thanks for sharing your passion with us! May your Rolex and Tudor continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
That color combo is stunning!❤
Fantastic review. I may be in love with this watch, especially on the jubilee style bracelet. Thanks Alexander!
The new dial looks amazing, can't wait for a 2-lines Pelagos. Another great video.
What a great saying about the importance of a watch should never run slow if anything its better its a bit fast,never thought of it like that,and I always set my watches five.minutes fast as it is.
Thanks for sharing!
Thx for mentioning the dial size. I think it's one of the most overlooked detail of the watches appearance on the wrist. A perfectly sized watch (lug to lug wise for example) can appear tiny on the wrist just because of the small dial. For me personally the speedmaster and the submariner are good examples - the submariner even more.
You are very welcome
This watch on jubilee deserved to be my first Tudor ever. Amazing specs for price. It's on my 19,2cm wrist for the past 3 days and it didn't dissapoint. Perfect watch in every respect.
I like to have a date, but here so far it doesn't bother me at all.
Aluminium bezel is top and i love it as it is (I tought it might bother me, but it is not) and lack of AR coating can't really be observed. Dial and crystal are perfect this way.
5+ and keeper for long time to come that's 100%.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and passion with us! Congratulations! May your BB always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
That side profile shot at 7:16 is absolutely MONEY
“absolutely MONEY” … What does this mean?
@@WatchAdvisor means very good. It's a compliment.
Great video beautiful time piece
Great video ! Might be picking this up shortly as a bday present to myself 🎉
Please keep us posted!
bracelet was always the weakness of the Black Bay. So the fact that they have jubilee now which looks like high quality is a massive win.
IMHO a massive, massive win 😉
Really very nice Rachel, thank you very much
Thanks for your feedback… But who is Rachel?
Sweet watch! Great job with the lighting and photography, thanks!
Great review. Subbed.
Thanks for the kind words! Welcome to WatchAdvisor !
As I said, I was looking first glance at your popping up video man. Keep it and make us addict more for the watch bug
How did I miss this video? That’s a stunner with the jubilee style bracelet. They are certainly competing with omega with those specs and price
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! You write: "They are certainly competing with omega with those specs and price" ... Tudor can't compete with Omega just because they are able to certify a watch "METAS". Tudor definitely does a magnificent job, delivers excellent watches, but has nothing to do with an Omega... Omega definitely plays in another league and may only be compared to Rolex and vice versa ...
Patiently waiting for your bb54 review!
Alexander, the watch UA-camr with the biggest balls and great reviews.
Tudor: Alexander, DON'T say Oyster bracelet!
Alexander laughing: OYSTER bracelet, OYSTER bracelet !
😂
Du bist der Beste! Danke für die ehrlichen Reviews!
Thanks for the rock-solid review, Alex. It's a great looking piece with top-tier specs. I have the original Tudor Burgundy BB watch from 2012 (and I'm super-happy with it), but I could easily see adding this new model. It's a very attractive, and very seductive watch! 🙂😍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts & passion with us and thanks for your kind feedback!
Picking up mine today 😊on the 5 link bracelet
Very cool 😎 Congratulations! Please keep us posted… May your Tudor always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
@@WatchAdvisor been wearing it the for the last 2 days and to be honest I am in love with this watch! Oh by the way picked up a Datejust 41 white dial with a 18k white gold fluted bezel so it was a pretty good visit to my AD,
as always, very good video, detailed, well recorded, thank u
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Great content as always
Looks wicked on the black strap 🔥
I think this Tudor should be worn with the “jubilee” bracelet….
Very excited about this release, mainly because it means the black version will come out with a METAS certified movement in the upcoming months with the new bracelet. Was considering buying the 41mm heritage in black, but now will wait until that is released as that thinner body is nice
These look great! Still not a fan of the snowflake hour hand but definitely the most tempting Tudor I've seen.
Agree. At least the seconds hand is round now 🙌🏼
I think I’m sold on this watch. I couldn’t find one in Hawaii but I’m going back and will try one on or order it
Thanks for sharing and please keep us posted!
Welp... After my Pelagos, there goes another Tudor purchase... The most scary part is that I like the white GMT too...
You only live once 😁
I'd wait for the t fit jubilee bracelet for the gmt
Keep the Meta Certification, add a date window, add ceramic bezel...I buy one even if it goes up maybe a grand!
Not sure if Tudor would do that…
If they put the jubilee on the gmt it would be much better!
Forstner makes one that fits, but it’s back ordered and it doesn’t have the T-fit.
❤ the new Tudor watches!
Which Tudor is your favorite watch?
I would love to see Tudor expand this to the BB58 range. It seems they’ve been making tons of changes all around while 58 has stayed largely the same.
Don’t get me wrong, the BB58 is my favorite watch that I own. But it’d be great to see it get an upgrade
Maybe this year... When Watches & Wonders 2024 opens its doors we shall know...
Getting mine today on the rubber strap🎉
Bravo! Congratulations! May your Tudor always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours! Please share some thoughts with us once you have it…
Am thinking to buy with jubilee bracelet, a bit confused with the colour how it looks in real life shall I go for it or go with the black one
Man, I love that rubber strap and Jubilee bracelet
Hope Tudor will release more colour way for the new Black Bay
I think that's a safe bet.
New certified movement! My first watch will be Tudor soon.
would love to see this burgundy bezel on the new 54
Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love this red bezel. Going to wait a year and keep my fingers crossed that a BB58 version is released, as that really is the perfect size for me. If it doesn't materialise, at least the second hand cost should have dropped a bit.
If you bought it on the bracelet, could you also buy the rubber strap, and it would work with the clasp?
Hey, yes but the rubber strap will come with its own clasp in all probability
Thanks for the information! I first saw this a few months ago (pretty much at the time you posted this video) and was wondering if the movement was different. Glad it is and also not glad that my black bay is thick as a hockey puck! I’d love to sell it to pick up one of these, the 15mm case size always bugged me
You are welcome! So what's your plan? Please keep us posted....
I wish Tudor consider bringing the red bezel on BB 54 or BB58
We will only know when such a watch hits the markets…
Getting the higher level certification was smart. Their movements are very accurate and they probably didn't have to make any changes.
Sorry, I have to disagree! To get a METAS certification you have to reinvent almost everything within a calibre. If it would be so easy others would have done it too... METAS is the toughest certification for watches so far... Please check this link to learn more... www.metas.ch/metas/en/home/dok/rechtliches/Zertifizierung_Uhren.html
@@WatchAdvisor Oh, I didn't realize it now has a different movement. I have a BB blue bezel 41 diver that gains about 1 second a week.
@@chuckgladfelter Now you know 😉 May your BB continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
I'll purchase my first Tudor when they do something about that hour hand design.
Thanks for the breakdown. I’m so torn because I really want the new BB54 but this looks so good in the color scheme AND it has the jubilee. I wore my Datejust everyday since 1999 on the jubilee. Why couldn’t they put a jubilee on the BB54 and make this easy for me? Also, am I correct to think that it’s thinner than previous models?
Stunning in Jubilee!!! Wish Rolex did this.
Great review, thanks Alexander. 41mm still my favorite BB. New bracelet looks good to me. Makes me wonder how a beads of rice would look. Pretty nice, I'd imagine.
Good question! But will never happen with Rolex/Tudor I guess...
Your English is very good.
Thank you! How come that you mention just this? What about the BB? Do you like it?
@@WatchAdvisorI had a BB58, and I'm thinking very seriously about the BB41 on the 5-link bracelet. I wonder if it's going to wear too big on my 16,5 cm wrist.
My wrist measures 17 cm …. Just perfect IMHO … Try it on your wrist and please keep us posted…
What an exellent review!
Jubilee bracelet and burgundy bezel! Where do I sign up? 😅
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
I think Metas is overkill especially because it apparently prevents the watch from being elegant. At this price I would expect Tudor to keep the thickness down to 12mm max for a no complication watch. Just my 2 cents.
Achieving METAS is like wining the Oscar… 😉
@@WatchAdvisor I get that it’s difficult. But most people don’t buy mechanical watches for robustness or accuracy. Nice to have them. But i think most people buy them for nostalgia for a bygone era or for status flexing or both. 13.6mm thickness for a $4000 time only dive watch is ridiculous. Just my opinion. Thanks.
@@sauravsen1705 There are enough offers not being METAS certified… which alternative would you consider?
@@WatchAdvisor you’re right. Plenty of choice for everyone. I would have thought that this watch with
@@sauravsen1705have you tried it on? Don’t be thrown off by technical specs, much of that thickness is the domed crystal and underbelly of the case, not just the side slab.
Tudor... Why 13.6 mm? My BB58 is 11.9 mm thick for the same 200m WR as opposed to BB54's 11.3 mm 'thinness'. Thanks for the vid, Alexander.
The METAS certification is the reason…
@@WatchAdvisor that's actually not the reason, but okay
You make the best watch videos, by far. Thank you! Could you please do a video on the new release Grand Seiko diver, the SLGA023? Only you will be able to cover the whole watch so we can make a buy decision. Thanks!
Very good pieces, incremental improvements welcome, not sure about the rubber strap though.
Great looking on jubilee and rubber but still way too thick. Tudor can make BB 54 with 11.20mm thickness, so why they can not use the same movement and make this watch under 12mm? If it was slimmer it would have been amazing proposition! Thank you for your video :)
It’s thinner than an Omega Seamaster and just a whisker thicker than my 2019 Rolex Submariner, what do you expect for the money? It’s thicker than a black bay 54 because it is a METAS certified chronometer so built to a higher spec.
@@Anonymouslyme1 I have Seamaster ans Submariner. I barely wear Seamaster because it is too thick and the bracelet is chunky. Submariner is one of my fav watches and the thickness is 12,60mm so 1mm thinner than BB. It is not about METAS is it all about movement which is a different variation than used in BB 54. It is 1,5mm thicker. Before BB 41 was almost 15mm thick without METAS certification so certification has nothing to do with the thickness... Also it is vintage inspired watch so please look at vintage 3 hand watches and you will will see that they were all below 12mm... So if you want call it vintage inspired first thing to do is to make a watch slim :) But all in all it is great watch but only when you look at from the front :)
@@dawidgregor6742 again you are comparing it to a watch that costs twice as much (ceramic sub). We'll agree to disagree I think it is a great all around watch and not too thick considering the package and price point. It beats the Omega SMP300 if you ask me and it's 1mm thinner and 2k cheaper. Winner!
I love the Jubilee bracelet. My question is, can I get this watch without the maroon configuration?
Not for the moment…
@@WatchAdvisor oh, OK thank you for your response. I do like the maroon but not as my daily watch it would be a terrific secondary or third watch. I’d love to see tudor do a blue black and silver dial configuration. I think that would do very well my opinion anyway thanks for your response.
Five links bracelet is the best one, donno why, but got me!
Damn. I have been staying away from Tudor in the hopes of getting another Rolex (when prices stabilize). This with the Jubilee bracelet is tempting. Ugh. Other problem is I just bought two other watches. Maybe at the end of the year. Honestly looks really nice. Really nice.
Being spoilt for choice... enjoy and please keep us posted...
Gerade am Jubileeband eine sehr schöne Erneuerung des bewährten BB Modells. Defintiv einen genaueren Blick wert! Besten Dank für die Vorstellung. Mal schauen, ob ich die auch noch ins Review bekomme ;)
The rubber strap version will be great summer watch. Is it thinner than the previous in-house movement model?
Probably the definitive sub 5k watch - now I just need to find the cash to buy it 😂
Great watch
Is the winding really clicky crunchy? Mine is.
Does it do that when the power reserve is full or is something wrong with my watch?
If the “noise” you hear has something to do with protecting the mainspring of getting over stressed it is normal… what you hear is the sound of the “sliding bridle” …
First contender for the annual gift to myself. I expect from omega to release the seamaster 300 Diver in titanium (no helium valve) but may not happen this year.
Alex is a funny man🤣I like you!
Lovely watch and nice video! The thickness did not bother me in real life. Just one question, do you think I would be able to pull off this watch with a 16,5 cm wrist? It seems to fit your wrist perfectly! Wish I could train my wrist to get bigger :-)
16,5 cm... Why not! You definitely must try it to know/understand if it fits your wrist... Please keep us posted!
I have an even smaller wrist and it fits fine.
Kind of bummed they made the rubber a separate model instead of just including it as an extra strap like the Pelagos 39. As it is, I'm tempted to get the jubilee version and see if I can buy a separate Oyster and rubber. Each have such a unique feel/look that it's almost like getting 3 watches in one. Not to mention these BBs look awesome on NATO and leather as well.
All the attention is on the BB54 and opaline dial BB GMT, but this is my favorite Tudor release this year.
Well I'm tempted to go with rubber and save money. I'd wear it on MN-style parachute strap most of the time anyway.
Can you switch between a bracelet and strap? I don't see anywhere on Tudors site about being able to buy just a bracelet or strap.
Not that I know…
Sorry I cant watch this watch right now. I look forward to watching this watch.
Did you mean "buy"?
@WatchAdvisor Yes, but it is not available in my country right now. Managers say they need some time to be available.
I hear you
They should nick name it “iron man”
I like that
And Iron Lady on jubilee 😅
These are slick
Like it on rubber the best if I may say
So the case is thinner and the lug to lug is smaller compared to the previous burgundy model?
Please read the description of the video...
Any ideas on when new dial colors will be coming out in this size with the updated bracelet/clasp?
Absolutely no idea! Sorry!
@@WatchAdvisor no worries, I’m assuming sometime this upcoming year. Can’t wait for a blue dial with the updated movement and bracelet/clasp. Thanks!
There is no way to find out what Rolex and Tudor will release in the future... they just do it..
@@WatchAdvisor haha that’s the truth.
