1968 is the year TUDOR dreamed up what’s now become its aesthetic calling card: the emblematic Snowflake hand. It entered the catalogue shortly thereafter in ’69. The Black Bay 68 pays homage to this important moment in the brand’s history. Another TUDOR mainstay, “TUDOR Blue” makes its way into the design of the Black Bay 68 in the form of a new dial. Along with the TUDOR rose on the crown, the Black Bay 68 is full of nods to TUDOR’s past. What’s new, however, is a bracelet with smooth side flanks instead of the vintageinspired rivets.

TUDOR wouldn’t go big without going big. The Master Chronometer Certified Black Bay 68 is another example of TUDOR’s expert command of one of the industry’s most demanding standards in terms of chronometry and resistance to magnetic fields. Tested by the Federal Institute of Metrology or METAS, the Black Bay 68 brings together cutting-edge watchmaking technology with design elements inspired by TUDOR’s more than seven-decade heritage of making robust professional diving watches.
