2017 Tudor Black Bay Chrono Review

Tudor Black Bay Chrono is an amalgamation of greatest hits from vintage Tudor, packaged into a modern wristwatch with a brand new, in-house movement. The best Tudor replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

The case is stainless steel and largish with a 42mm diameter. It’s also blessed with the same polished bevel along the length of the lugs.Both the crown and pushers are screw-down – the pushers are fluted as on vintage Tudor chronographs – while the bezel is fixed and engraved with a tachymetric scale.

The dial is obviously appropriated from the bestselling Black Bay dive watch, with the same hour markers and snowflake hands.But the elements have been redesigned to suit the chronograph, primarily by reducing the scale of the hands and hour markers. So the snowflake hour hand is noticeably smaller than on the dive watch, though it still obscures the chronograph registers at times.

The movement inside is brand new, though hidden underneath a solid back. Running at 28,800 beats per hour or 4Hz, it’s part of the same family of in-house calibres found in the second generation Black Bay and North Flag.The chronograph mechanism is controlled by a column wheel, with the unusual feature of a 45-minute counter at three o’clock, instead of the conventional 30-minutes. The sub-dial at nine o’clock is for constant seconds.
