Tudor Black Bay Pro

Tudor Black Bay Pro Watch Specifications

The Tudor Black Bay Pro combines robust construction with refined functionality, creating a watch that excels in both form and performance. The timepiece showcases Tudor's attention to detail through its carefully selected materials and technical features, making it equally suitable for professional use and everyday wear.

Materials

The case and bracelet feature 316L stainless steel construction, chosen for its exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The bezel insert is crafted from satin-brushed steel with a 24-hour scale, while the crystal is made from scratch-resistant sapphire with an anti-reflective coating. These premium materials ensure longevity while maintaining the sophisticated appearance that defines this timepiece.

The finishing represents Tudor's mastery of technical craftsmanship, with alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces that create dynamic light play across the watch. This meticulous attention extends to every component, from the crown guards to the bracelet links, demonstrating the exacting standards and precision that have become synonymous with the Black Bay Pro collection.

Movement

The Tudor Black Bay Pro features the manufacture Caliber MT5652, a COSC-certified self-winding mechanical movement that exemplifies exceptional watchmaking at the highest level. This sophisticated mechanism features a bidirectional rotor system, silicon balance spring, and variable inertia balance. The movement's construction includes robust shock protection and anti-magnetic properties, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.

The MT5652's architecture incorporates a true GMT function with independent hour hand adjustment, a feature typically found in more expensive timepieces. The movement's refined finishing includes Geneva stripes and perlage, while its carefully engineered components contribute to an impressive accuracy rating of -2/+4 seconds per day, demonstrating a commitment to professional-grade watchmaking at the highest level.

Dial

The matte black dial of the Black Bay Pro exemplifies Tudor's mastery of functional aesthetics. The signature "Snowflake" hands and applied hour markers receive generous applications of Swiss Super-LumiNova grade A for exceptional low-light visibility. The yellow GMT hand provides instant timezone recognition while complementing the vintage-inspired design elements. The dial's grained finish reduces glare and enhances legibility in varying light conditions.

The dial arrangement demonstrates exceptional attention to detail and practical functionality. Arabic numerals at 6, 9, and 12 o'clock provide instant orientation, while the fixed 24-hour bezel with satin finish complements the dial texture. The minute track incorporates precise markings for accurate time reading, and the date window at 3 o'clock integrates seamlessly into the overall composition while offering essential date reference at a glance.

Watch Bands

The Tudor Black Bay Pro demonstrates exceptional versatility through its carefully curated selection of strap options. Each choice has been engineered to complement the case design while offering distinct wearing experiences for different occasions and preferences:

• Metal Bracelets: Stainless steel bracelet with Tudor "T-fit" rapid adjustment system, allowing for 8mm of tool-free micro-adjustments and featuring a folding clasp with safety catch
• Leather Straps: Aged black leather with folding clasp and safety catch
• Fabric Strap: Jacquard-woven black fabric with yellow stripe and pin buckle

Sizes

The Black Bay Pro features carefully considered dimensions that balance presence with wearability. These proportions ensure the watch sits comfortably on a wide range of wrist sizes while maintaining its professional aesthetic:

• Diameter: 39mm
• Thickness: 14.6mm
• Lug to Lug: 48mm
• Lug Width: 20mm

Water Resistance

The Tudor Black Bay Pro features a robust water resistance rating of 200 meters (660 feet), achieved through multiple sealed systems, including a screw-down crown and carefully engineered gaskets. This professional-grade water resistance makes the watch suitable for serious diving activities, swimming, and high-intensity water sports, demonstrating the versatile nature of this GMT timepiece.

The substantial depth rating comes from precise engineering that includes a reinforced case back, a specially designed crown tube system, and multiple layers of water resistance testing during production. Each watch undergoes pressure testing beyond the rated depth to ensure complete reliability in aquatic environments, making it a dependable companion for both professional and recreational water activities.

Power Reserve

The Black Bay Pro boasts a substantial power reserve of approximately 70 hours, powered by the high-performance MT5652 movement. This extended power reserve ensures that the watch continues to operate accurately through extended periods away from the wrist, making it particularly convenient for those who rotate between multiple timepieces or prefer not to wind their watch over weekends.

The impressive power reserve is achieved through an optimized mainspring barrel and efficient power delivery system. This technical achievement allows for consistent timekeeping performance throughout the duration of the power reserve, maintaining chronometer-grade accuracy even as the mainspring winds down, showcasing the practical benefits of modern movement engineering.
