The Tudor Black Bay Dark, released in Baselworld 2016 changes the vintage themed watch into a black monochromatic beauty. It's PVD finish is unlike other - its coated with Titanium Carbine - chosen on purpose to give it the durability of a DLC watch yet maintaining a low brushed matt finish on the case. The quality of the watch is outstanding, with no visible scratches and wear - it's like the previous owner didn't wear it at all, or perhaps it is even more durable than we think.
Tudor Heritage Black Bay Dark
We wore the watch on a 6 inch (average slim asian) wrist size as pictured and also on the Tudor NATO Fabric strap included. It wears light, much lighter than expected, with a strong presence on the wrist. Over the few days we noticed that it appears to have the illusion of wearing a smaller watch and it gives off the dark military and tactical feel. The box crystal is slightly raised and gives a very elegant look with no visible distortion. It also reflects a little bit of light at extreme angles, which is awesome. The watch initially wears a little thick, but we didn't notice it after a while. It fits under the cuff of your average work shirt as well, so you can wear it on work and off days. If you wear it with our included brand new dark vintage leather strap you can even pull it off for semi formal dinners should you wish or the late night out. Truly a pleasure to wear; it's one of those watches that gives off a dark, confident charm, especially with it's splash of red on the bezel and dial - a nod to previous tudor Subamriners of the past.
