New watch from Tudor : Black Bay 41 “monochrome”.

I was always a great fan of the Black Bay and I also had a few years ago the GMT version of the previous model.

Unfortunately the chunkyness of the case did not really work for me and therefore I let it go.

But this year Tudor came out with this:

The new revised Black Bay 41 with it’s monochromatic black/white looks and the much improved case proportions.

And trust me, these new case proportions make for a world of difference regarding the look and wearing comfort !!

The much reduced thickness and lug to lug make this now a great fit for my 17 cm wrist.

And there is more : the new “Jubilée” bracelet does not only look good but is also more comfortable than the old bracelet and additionally fitted with a well designed micro-adjustment.

Compared to their other “Oyster” style bracelet I find this to better match the vintage style of the watch and also adds a bit of welcome sparkling smile .

And then there is also the Master Chronometer certification which I consider to be a great plus.

Here a wristshot on my 17 cm wrist : definitely much better than the previous models.

In fact,this watch reminds me a lot of the 5-digit Rolex Sub ….with however much better overall quality !!

At least for me, this watch redefines the famous value for money ratio : in my collection nothing gets close.

Thanks for looking,

Gerard
