As You Like It

The new releases in Tudor's Black Bay series retain the versatility and performance of their predecessors, but possess a stronger sense of sophistication and elegance

IT SEEMED LIKE a small thing, when Tudor made adjustments to its famed Black Bay line.

A fixed bezel and a new rapid-adjustable five-link bracelet with the Tudor T-fit clasp won’t exactly send shock waves through the world of horology, but these features extend and further cultivate the appeal of the Black Bay 31/36/39/41 line: Tudor sophistication, but with a collector’s own personal specifications in mind.

The series is, of course, named after the variety of case sizes collectors can choose from: the slender, understated 31 mm, its slightly more prominent cousin in the 36 mm, the architecturally prominent 39 mm, or the robust 41 mm. These variations make it Tudor’s most genderneutral collection.
