The story behind this Tudor Black Bay Chrono
Tudor has a well-documented connection with motorsport. This model celebrates the partnership with the Visa Cash App RB Formula 1 team. It meets the need for a lightweight timepiece for racing drivers. The choice of carbon composite for the case draws directly on the technology used in today’s single-seater cars. This transfer of materials between automotive engineering and watchmaking has given rise to a purely technical and functional chronograph.
Case, movement and strap of this Black Bay Chrono
The case measures 42 mm and is made from a matt black carbon composite. The fixed bezel features a tachymeter scale. The matt white dial contrasts with two recessed black sub-dials and a blue flange. The time is indicated by the distinctive Snowflake hands, filled with luminescent material. The watch is powered by the MT5813 calibre. This COSC-certified self-winding movement offers a power reserve of 70 hours and beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It features 41 jewels. It is water-resistant to 200 metres. The black hybrid strap combines rubber and leather-textured material with blue topstitching. The clasp is a carbon pin buckle.
