The most important men in our lives are in a class of their own. Extraordinary men who display a swathe of talents and tastes, fathers can be at turns strong, suave, classy, gentle, and intelligent – or all of these at once. To salute all dads who have shaped our lives while staying true to themselves, here are four fabulous Father’s Day gift options from Tudor to complement their unique personalities and interests.
For The Nature-Loving Dad - Black Bay Pro
It doesn’t matter if it is a regular weekend hike with his mates, or an all-out camping trip to bond with the family, any outdoor-loving dad will appreciate the trustworthy robustness of the new Tudor Black Bay Pro. A watch designed to meet the demands of adventures in the wild, the Black Bay Pro fits snugly on the wrist with its 39mm steel case, while reflecting the heritage of Tudor's historic tool watches used by the pioneering explorers in the past, such as the Oyster Prince, the brand’s first waterproof self-winding watch from 1952.
A hardwearing technical watch with two-time zone function, the Black Blay Pro boasts numerous practical features for optimum usability and wearability. These include a tactile winding crown that is redesigned for maximum grip; applied hour markers made from monobloc luminous ceramic for unmatched legibility in the dark; and a new bracelet clasp with the Tudor ‘T-fit’ rapid size-adjustment system that allows the user to make fine adjustments of up to 8mm for a perfect fit. Powered by the COSC-certified Calibre MT5652 with built-in GMT function and 70-hour power reserve, the Black Bay Pro is a watch that will stay on dad’s wrist long after his nature-seeking pursuits.
For The Frequent Flying Dad - Black Bay GMT S&G
Remember when getting on the plane with the family was a big deal, and everyone seemed to dress up for the occasion? Well, travelling in style is not just a thing of the past, and the modish and practical Black Bay GMT S&G is just the watch that demonstrates why.
A perfect gift for globetrotting dads, the Black Bay GMT S&G endows a touch of regality and class, while offering unerring practicality for cross-continental travels. The watch helps the user tell the time of multiple time zones simultaneously. This is courtesy of a separate 24-hour ‘Snowflake’ hand that points to the ‘home’ time, accompanied by a 24-hour graduated rotating bezel in gold and brown to indicate the day and night. Meantime, the ‘local’ time is shown via a shorter hour hand that can be set either backwards or forwards in one-hour increments, which automatically syncs to the date display at three o’clock. Housed in a steel case with gold bezel, and accompanied by a choice of Jacquard fabric strap, aged brown leather strap, or steel and yellow gold bracelet, the Black Bay GMT S&G oozes distinction and refinement, wherever dad may be in the world.
For The Diving Enthusiast - Pelagos FXD
If diving expeditions are your dad’s way of spending quality time, you can equip him with the Pelagos FXD. A high-performance underwater tool watch, the Pelagos FXD was developed in collaboration with the French Navy’s combat swimmers and imbued with dive-ready features that meet the exacting demands of professional use.
Boasting waterproofness to 200m, the Pelagos FXD is housed in a 42mm titanium case that is extremely light yet robust. The watch also comes with several attributes that make it a unique offering in the Pelagos line-up. These include a case machined with fixed strap bars that allows for extra secure fastening of straps, as well as a 120-notch bidirectional rotating bezel with retrograde graduation from 60 to 0, which aid combat swimmers in underwater navigation expeditions, whereby they are required to reset the bezel each time after reaching a checkpoint. Equally performance-driven on the inside, the Pelagos FXD runs on the self-winding Manufacture Calibre MT5602 that is COSC-certified, backed by 70 hours of power reserve. The Pelagos FXD is a true powerhouse on the inside and out - just like dad.
For The Boardroom Commander - Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze
We will never know how fathers seem to look more distinguished with each passing year, but we are sure that the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze will make the ideal accompaniment, as it is watch that also literally evolves to take on a richer character over time. The watch comes in a 39mm satin-brushed bronze case, crafted from a highly corrosion resistant aluminium bronze alloy that changes its look as time goes by to achieve a patina unique to its owner’s wearing habits. At the same time, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze housed in this “living” metal is full of historical significance. The watch’s use of bronze evokes old-world maritime and sea-diving equipment, while its profile is inspired by Tudor’s iconic Reference 7924 ‘Big Crown’ from 1958, the brand’s first watch to be waterproof to 200m. A commanding and versatile timepiece, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze is complemented by a bronze bracelet, as well as a complimentary fabric strap that the owner can swap with ease. Powered by Tudor’s COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre MT5400 with 70-hour power reserve, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze is a sophisticated yet versatile timepiece that commands attention whether at the boardroom or the beach.
