In the spring of 1946, Hans Wilsdorf,Rolex Founder, started Tudor Watch Company in the spring of 1946. As his second “child”, Tudor was born to offer watches with reliable quality as its brother Rolex yet with much affordable prices.
Tudor has managed to present tasteful timepieces over the years. Amongst its collections, Monte Carlo, Submariner Snowflake and Advisor are obviously the most favorite children. Still, when compared with Rolex huge watch family, its achivement seems dreadfully pale. But where recently Rolex tends to focus on the regions with big money, letting go its pure spirit as a tool watch company they were respected and admired, Tutor seeks a great opportunity to step out of the shadows that have been haunting over them for too many years.
The Heritage was a starter, with no doubts. It is a retracing model of the original with no additional charm. Not enough though, Tutor made an important first step. Now, with the Heritage Black Bay, Tutor makes the new dish spicy – it adds contemporary design features to the new model while paying tribute to the past. In another words, the Heritage Black Day is a hit in a good way!
Taking inspiration from the 1954 model, Tutor Heritage Black Bay has an enlarged 41mm case and can safely go down to 200 meters under water. It posesses a domed sapphire crystal and a domed black dial that modern people will easily wow at. We also love the pink gold hour markers and hands with luminous stuff for good readability in darkness. The burgundy red on the bezel and the insert of the crown is adorable, with a nice retro touch. It is quite subtle that Tutor gives the bezel a matte finish. I love it.
Tutor Heritage Black Bay is fitted with Oyster-like bracelet or the black fabric strap, or aged leather strap. All come with a new Tudor folding clasp. The aged leather strap version is the apple of my eyes. The price for EUR3,000 is appropriate considering it contains a ETA movement.Overall, the piece is a sincere nod to the tool watch purism. Yes, it is not perfect. But it is already a great comfort for Rolex watch lovers who have been hurt by Rolex’s abandon to the tool watch purism.
WatchEden, as senior replica watch seller, believe that the Tutor Heritage Black Bay will surely be a new star in the replica kingdom. Now the long wait starts. We can not wait to add replica Tutor Heritage Black Bay to our collection. Hope the day comes soon.
