What is interesting to note is that the Chronomat – with similar movement – retails for a touch over $8k. Alternatively, there’s also the option of an aged black leather strap or a brown fabric strap. But again, that’s what you would expect from a robust and rugged chrono. If bought at the right price.

And that was the real-world partnership Tudor entered into for the movement.

Inside the Black Bay Chrono is the self-winding Calibre MT5813. Where the yellow gold is most obvious however is on the crown. Those sub-dials are concave to add depth to the dial and create an added sense of contrast. The MT5612 is a variation of the MT5602 with the addition of the date module.

Not sure I could pull that one off but it does look cool.

Inside is the Manufacture chronograph Calibre MT5813. While two-tone dive watches are not for everyone, for those who love the look, Tudor certainly makes an attractive option with the Black Bay S&G.

The bezel is now a solid piece of yellow gold, and while that may sound a tad ostentatious, it’s really not.

The gold is low-key and contrasts nicely with the black anodised aluminium insert, particularly when combined with its gilt markings. One of the distinguishing features of a Tudor chronograph was the 45-minute counter.

Only now, the warmth of the golden accents is amplified by the gold of the case.

The movement

Bringing the added complication of a date window is the same movement you’ll find in the Black Bay Steel and the Pelagos, Tudor’s own caliber MT5612. And to be fair, they probably were. I would suggest not, unless you never have the need to dress up.

At the end of the day, what you see is what you get with Tudor.

This means twin sub-dials across the middle of the dial. On the one hand you have the aquatic heritage of the Black Bay family. The Black Bay Chrono meanwhile does not follow this tried and true blueprint. The only real difference vs the original is the twin chronograph registers in the middle of the dial. The end result is the look of gold without the hefty price tag.

As a dive watch, the Tudor Black Bay S&G includes a unidirectional rotating yellow gold bezel with a black anodized aluminum dive bezel which works in the same fashion as the Submariner.

And both use contrast to help improve legibility over the original version. And US$4,900 on a strap. Although Breitling will argue quality, brand recognition, etc. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial of the steel and gold Tudor dive watch. But we’ll get to those.) Complete with an engraved tachymetric scale.

Almost a decade after the Rolex Daytona Ref 6239 made its debut. On the other is Tudor’s long-standing association with the racetrack. The Black Bay was already considered a near-perfect entry-level luxury watch. At a svelte 14.2mm it’s still not anywhere near thin mind you. If you were contemplating between the two, my advice would be to get them side by side.

It features Tudor’s proprietary adjustable moment of inertia balance wheel. Accenting the predominately steel case and steel bracelet are the yellow gold details from the bezel to the “Big Crown” winding crown to the center bracelet links. In other words, there’s no doubt this model belongs to the Black Bay collection. Keep reading to find out why.

A (Very) Brief History Of The Tudor Black Bay Chrono

Launched in 2017, the Black Bay Chrono took the market by surprise.

But it was actually developed and manufactured for Tudor by Breitling. One with a panda dial (white with black sub-dials). Nice design. Even if doesn’t look quite like anything else in the line-up.

Like other chronograph dive watches, Tudor uses a bi-compax set up. Regardless of the color, the hands are, of course, the iconic snowflake hands reminiscent of the Tudor watches used by the French Navy in the 1970s.
