The New Movement

From a legendary ’60s prototype come to life at last, to a high-end diving watch saving the ocean with recycled plastic, these are the most ground-breaking desirable watches to buy in 2019

TUDOR BLACK BAY P01

In 1967, Tudor developed a dive watch that was intended to become standard issue for the US Navy, based on research into functionality, ergonomics and US Government specs. This project, codenamed ‘Commando’, never came to fruition... until now. The P01 is based on a prototype from this study, building on it with modern tech and featuring a unique bezel-lock inspired by the original’s removable bezel mechanism. Respecting the watch’s utilitarian heritage, the steel case, waterproof to 200m, is entirely satin-brushed for a markers, and Tudor’s Manufacture Calibre MT5612. This movement is £2,830, tudorwatch.com
