A watch speaks volumes about your personality and style. TUDOR is known for being at the forefront of offering mechanical watches with refined aesthetics, proven reliability, and unique value for money. A mixture of classic pieces and stylish drops, here are some TUDOR timepieces that can complete your ensemble and are worth watching out for.
The Centrepiece Of Your Wardrobe – The Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925
Made of precious 925 silver, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 is suitable for the sporting gentleman of today.
The Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 is truly stunning, with strong clean lines and a uniquely modern silhouette. Its satin-finished matt silver gives off an incandescent brilliance and lends a precious aura to this classic model. Silver is not a common material found in watches, let alone dive watches, giving one the allure of owning a rare piece that fuses both exclusivity and style.
The Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 is priced at S$5,960.
Second to none, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 comes in a 39 mm satin-finished case in 925 silver, with an open sapphire crystal case back; 925 silver unidirectional rotatable bezel, and 925 silver screw-down winding crown. It is waterproof up to 200 m and has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
Thoughtful Design For The Discerning Watch Owner – The Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze
Designed with the discerning watch owner in mind, the TUDOR Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze is cased in a 39 mm satin-brushed bronze, whose colour evolves to match its wearer's habits.
This high-performance aluminium bronze alloy is an aesthetic nod to the bronzes on old ships and other deep-sea diving equipment, used predominantly in naval engineering. The watch user can look forward to seeing a subtle yet unique patina as the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze slowly ages over time.
The Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze also comes with an additional strap. Put on the bronze bracelet for work, then swap it with the bronze-brown fabric for date night.
The Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze is priced at S$6,240, only available at select TUDOR boutiques.
A timepiece that evolves with you, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze Bronze comes in a 39 mm satin-brushed bronze case with a bronze-coloured PVD-treated steel case back; bronze-brown unidirectional rotatable bezel, and bronze screw-down winding crown. It is waterproof up to 200 m and has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

A New Standard For Luxury – The Black Bay Ceramic
The Black Bay Ceramic raises the bar with the brand’s new METAS Master Chronometer certification. This certification guarantees that the main functional characteristics of the watch are at the highest level, including its precision, waterproofness, power reserve, and resistance to magnetic fields.
To qualify, the Black Bay Ceramic must be able to function within a 5-second range of variation each day (0 +5), which is 5 seconds less than the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) (-4 +6).
The certification also guarantees that the waterproof capability of the Black Bay Ceramic conforms with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 22810:2010, as does the power reserve of each Master Chronometer watch.
Finally, it guarantees the timekeeping accuracy of the Black Bay Ceramic when subjected to 15,000 gausses of magnetic force. Anti-magnetism is important to keep the watch performance in tip-top condition because watches are typically subjected to several magnetic fields as we go about our daily lives.
Two other prerequisites are necessary before obtaining the certification: Swiss manufacturing must conform with the criteria of Swiss Made – the long-standing history of quality craftsmanship with attention to detail and the movement must be certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
The Black Bay Ceramic is priced at S$6,510, giving it a very strong competing value proposition with other brands that produce dive watches and sports watches with the similar METAS Master Chronometer certification.
Dive into outstanding precision with the Black Bay Ceramic which comes in a 41mm ceramic case with a micro-blasted finish and monobloc middle case; an open black PVD-treated 316L steel sapphire crystal case back; PVD-treated 316L steel unidirectional rotatable bezel, and PVD-treated 316L steel screw-down winding crown. It is waterproof up to 200 m and has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours certified by METAS.
