TUDOR - HERITAGE Black Bay


TUDOR - HERITAGE Black Bay NEW

The new TUDOR Heritage Black Bay is steeped in the mysterious aura of a hidden bay that gradually yields its secrets to those who venture there, a long-lost treasure returning to the light of day. It is the latest addition to the TUDOR Heritage collection launched in 2010 which is aimed at drawing together some of the brand’s emblematic models, inspired by its past and revisited. The Heritage Black Bay is a perfect embodiment of TUDOR’s vintage spirit.





























The Heritage Black Bay model pays tribute to the company’s rich history, with a fresh interpretation of an old standard created in the 1950s that left a lasting mark on the history of divers’ watches.


TRIBUTE TO TUDOR’S VINTAGE SPIRIT

While it is a comprehensive response to today’s stylistic aspirations, the TUDOR Heritage Black Bay is inspired by a diving model that fi rst appeared in 1954 and continually evolved until the 1980s.




























.

Its domed dial − an exquisite vintage detail − unusual burgundy red bezel and “snowfl ake” hands all helped build the reputation of this iconic model during a period that saw the emergence of the very fi rst divers’ watches.






































 The TUDOR Heritage Black Bay is inspired by the lines of the 1954 model, reworked and resized to result in a contemporary steel case with a diameter of 41 mm, waterproof to 200 metres (660 feet) and enhanced by a domed crystal.


The black dial, which is also elegantly domed, displays generous luminescent hour markers for perfect visibility. Like that of the hour markers, the pink gold of the hands represents a gentle hint of nostalgia, suggesting the characteristic patina of older timepieces. The burgundy red of the unidirectional rotatable bezel, an original feature exclusive to TUDOR – faithful to the original 1970s models – given a matt fi nish here, to beautiful the Bect.


As attention to detail is always important to TUDOR, a similar burgundy red accent appears on the insert of the crown, which is engraved with the TUDOR rose. Equipped with the new folding clasp developed by TUDOR, the TUDOR Heritage model is delivered with a black fabric strap and a steel bracelet, or with a black fabric strap and a second strap in exclusive aged leather: another original touch for an elegant, contemporary watch.


A TUDOR watch lives. Pulsates. It will take you into the world of micro-precision. The high technology in all components relentlessly tested right down to the smallest detail… to the point of obsession. Exceptional materials, durability and strength of design make each watch a unique object.

Certina - DS Action Diver 200M Automatic Chronograph

Certina - DS Action Diver 200M Automatic Chronograph

The DS Action Diver Chronograph stands out instantly thanks to its 45.2 mm brushed steel case and polished, massive bezel: broad, large-toothed and easy to handle in any setting, its Superluminova-treated face and oversized numerals ensure clear reading even in deep underwater darkness. Additional amounts of SuperLuminova on its wide hands, indices and inside a large dot punctuating the white and red central second hand, ensure maximum readability against the contrasting black dial surface. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflection coating protects this impressive timepiece from all underwater perils.

This DS Action Diver Chronograph is equipped with an ETA 7753 automatic movement, for precise and worry-free timing, with small second and 30-min counters, hours, minutes, central seconds and date, whose quick-set push-button is placed at 10 o’clock. The high reliability of the DS Action Diver is assured by the DS Concept, as well as production in accordance with the ISO 6425 specification, as confirmed by the inscription ‘Diver’s watch 200 m / ISO 6425′ on the dial face. 
With a protected screw-in crown (monogrammed with the letters DS), 3 screw-in push-buttons as well as a screw-on case back, the DS Action Diver is water resistant to a diving depth of 200m.


































A stylish touch is given to the push-buttons, with clever detailing in black PVD coating on selected angles. In a wink back at history, the solid case back sports a turtle logo, symbol of extreme water resistance in Certina timepieces in the 50s and 60s. A beautifully detailed three-row fully-brushed stainless steel bracelet with a folding safety buckle and diving extension ensure that your DS Action Diver stays with you at all times. A further version is available with a two-tone rubber strap neatly inscribed with the words CERTINA, DIVER and the former Certina logo, and equipped with a folding safety buckle and diving extension.
