While the Black Bay line references a range of TUDOR's early dive watches, the all-new Black Bay 54 is the most true-to-form example of TUDOR’s first dive watch, the reference 7922. The 37mm case retains the classic proportions of yesteryear, yet boasts the technical prowess of TUDOR’s time-only Manufacture Calibre MT5400 and a 200m depth rating. True to form, the unidirectional bezel is devoid of any graduated hash marks, echoing the days of the early '50 when SCUBA diving was in its infancy and TUDOR produced a watch for those daring enough to engage with the burgeoning sport. The new aesthetic details, however, don’t stop at the case dimensions and bezel. The seconds hand recalls the look of the original with a lollipop design. Ergonomics have evolved as well, with a redesigned crown and bezel, both featuring historical proportions.

DIVING INTO THE PAST
The Black Bay line was conceived with the past in mind. Honouring the important designs that laid the foundations of TUDOR’s unique aesthetic is of the highest importance. While the Black Bay line has always incorporated signature elements of past TUDOR divers’ watches, the Black Bay 54 is perhaps the most true-to-form Black Bay to have been created thus far. The Black Bay 54 still features thoroughly modern touches, like a subtle satin radial-brushed dial and a "T-fit" clasp for the perfect fit. And of course, the cutting-edge Manufacture Calibre MT5400.
