DESIGNLaunched at Baselworld 2019, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono S&G is a 41mm diver chronograph. One can think of it as a crossover of two designs from 2017, which are in turn inspired by vintage Tudor watches – the time and date Tudor Black Bay S&G (Steel & Gold), where the nomenclature comes from, and the Tudor Black Bay Chrono. What makes the Chrono S&G attractive is its “just right” balance of steel, black and touches of gold. It does deliver a big hit of gold: on the crown and pushers (screwed to ensure the 200-m water resistance), the chronograph subdials, the bezel and dial markers, the bezel itself and on the central links of the bracelet. Even the hallmark Black Bay ‘snowflake’ hands and hour markers were given the Midas touch through gold surrounds. |
