WatchmakingTUDOR MANUFACTURE CALIBRES
In 2015, TUDOR announced its first Manufacture Calibre in its history. A high-performance calibre of excellent precision and proven robustness, it offers a 70-hour power reserve meaning that its wearer can, for example, take off the watch on Friday evening and put it on again on Monday morning without having to wind it. Beating to a frequency of 28,800 beats/hour or 4Hz, the movement is regulated by a variable inertia oscillator with silicon balance spring, held in place by a traversing bridge – a guarantee of its robustness. Furthermore, the movement is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
Furthermore, in 2023, TUDOR inaugurated its first industrial facility fully dedicated to the TUDOR watchmaking company in its 100-year history. Every TUDOR watch is assembled and fully tested to TUDOR’s superior standards and at the brand’s state-of-the-art watch Manufacture located in Le Locle, Switzerland.
The TUDOR MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5601
This is a variant of the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre developed specifically to equip the Black Bay Bronze model. Slightly larger in diameter and displaying hours, minutes and seconds functions, it bears the reference MT5601, in which "MT" stands for "Manufacture TUDOR".
The TUDOR MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5602
This is a variant of the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre developed specifically to equip the Black Bay and the Black Bay Dark models. It displays hours, minutes and seconds, and bears the reference MT5602, in which "MT" stands for "Manufacture TUDOR".
The TUDOR MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5612
In addition to the hour, minute and central second functions, the Calibre TUDOR MT5612 that powers the Pelagos provides an instant date display visible through an aperture positioned at 3 o’clock.
MANUFACTURE CHRONOGRAPH CALIBRE MT5813
With a 70-hour power reserve, a silicon balance spring and Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute certification, the Manufacture chronograph Calibre MT5813 that drives the Black Bay Chrono S&G model is a high-performance movement. It was designed in the purest watchmaking tradition, with a column-wheel mechanism and vertical clutch. In keeping with the TUDOR philosophy of quality, it presents extraordinary robustness and reliability, guaranteed by an array of extreme tests applied to all TUDOR products.
THE MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5400
The Manufacture Calibre MT5400, with which the Black Bay 54 is equipped, displays hour, minute and second functions. Its variable inertia balance wheel is maintained by a sturdy traversing bridge with a two-point anchoring. This system, together with its non-magnetic silicon hairspring, enables the Manufacture Calibre MT5400 to function within a tolerance range of 6 seconds (-2/+4) tested on a fully assembled watch. MT5400 Manufacture Calibre is “weekend-proof”, with a 70-hour power reserve.
THE MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5602-U
The Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U, which powers the third evolution of the Black Bay, is designed to ensure robustness and precision. To do this, the variable inertia balance wheel is maintained by a sturdy traversing bridge with two-point anchoring. This system together with its non-magnetic silicon hairspring, means the Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U is able to function within a tolerance range of 5 seconds (0/+5) tested on a fully assembled watch. Another notable feature is that the power reserve of the Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U is “weekend-proof”; that is to say, it has been certified for 70 hours by METAS.
FITTED TO THE TUDOR MONARCH
THE MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5662-2U
The Manufacture Calibre MT5662-2U displays hours, minutes and seconds functions. All the finishing hallmarks of traditional watchmaking are present, like perlage on the mainplate, Côtes de Genève on the bridges, and an 18ct gold inlay on the rotor. Not only is the Manufacture Calibre MT5662-2U certified to be more accurate, it is also rated as anti-magnetic, making it impervious to magnetic fields below 15,000 gauss. Another notable feature is its power reserve, certified for 65 hours by METAS.
FITTED TO THE BLACK BAY 58 GMT
THE GMT MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5450-U
The Manufacture Calibre MT5450-U, which powers the Black Bay 58 GMT, illustrates the technical development process signature of TUDOR, drawing on adaptable movement architecture capable of integrating new functions rather than resorting to additional modules. A minor detail for some, but a must for watchmaking purists.
Displaying hours, minutes, seconds and GMT functions, it offers the general look and feel of TUDOR Manufacture Calibres with dedicated sun laser design and bears the Master Chronometer mention on its bridges, emphasising its distinctive performance. Its rotor is fashioned in tungsten monobloc and is openworked. It also features the distinctive laser radial grooving with sand-blasted details. Its bridges and mainplate have alternating sand-blasted and polished surfaces and laser decorations. Another notable feature is its power reserve of about 65 hours.
FITTED TO THE BLACK BAY 58
THE MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5400-U
The Manufacture Calibre MT5400-U, which powers the Black Bay 58, displays hour, minute and seconds functions. Its rotor is fashioned in tungsten monobloc and is openworked. It also features the distinctive laser radial grooving with sand-blasted details. Its bridges and mainplate have alternate sand-blasted and polished surfaces and laser decorations. Another notable feature is its power reserve of 65 hours, certified by METAS.
