legacy as maker of high-quality tool watches was cemented long before the brand re-entered the American market in late 2013.
The manufacture’s decision to tap its heritage designs when iterating its new collection has gone a long way toward creating fresh Tudor devotees and frankly, a darling amongst the enthusiast community. Whether it’s the Heritage Chrono inspired by the 1970s ‘Monte Carlo’ chronograph, or more recent examples such as the Black Bay 54, Tudor FXD and , Tudor’s modern lineup is a love letter to some of the very best sports watches of all time.
One of their most popular models — and not without good reason — is the Black Bay GMT. Offering ‘true’ GMT functionality via an independently adjustable hour hand, it’s the perfect traveler’s watch when you consider its intriguing value proposition and quality, as well as reliability, that naturally comes with the Tudor name.
This piece, a Reference 79830RB, features a 41mm stainless steel case equipped with a bidirectional 24-hour split bezel, a sapphire crystal, and a ‘Rose’ signed screw-down crown. The luminous matte black dial houses a set of stark white hour indices accompanied by a matching ‘snowflake’ handset, a red ‘snowflake’ GMT hand and a date indicator at 3 o’clock.
Mounted on an Oyster-style stainless steel bracelet with a locking deployant clasp, this piece is mechanized by the COSC-certified MT5625 automatic movement. What’s more, this BB GMT has all of its factory goodies that come along with it!
Handsome and robust — this Black Bay GMT is ready to be your companion for all your adventures abroad!
