New Tudor Black Bay watch with burgundy bezel

Since it's what's inside that counts, there's also the new METAS certification.

Fresh out of Tudor's new manufacture in Le Locle, we find a full-bodied Black Bay with a unidirectional burgundy bezel. The watch is now METAS Master Chronometer certified, meaning it has been rigorously tested and tested for water resistance, power reserve, magnetic resistance and accuracy. This is an acknowledgment of Tudor's plan to build a full range of METAS in the future.

Powered by Tudor's Manufacture Caliber MT5602-U, the watch is, among other things, "Weekend Proven", which means you can take it off for 70 hours without winding it (previously it was in an in-house movement, but it's still very good to have). Thanks to a non-magnetic hairspring, it can run within a five-second tolerance.

In 2012, the first Black Bay with a burgundy bezel was released and returned in 2015. Now, the watch returns to its red roots with burgundy, a handsome black dial, a steel case and slightly adjusted hands. It's a bit bigger, 41mm, with a domed sapphire crystal, but thinner than the original BB. There is also a redesigned screw-down crown with a Tudor rose. The bracelet is either a satin-brushed three-link steel bracelet or a brushed polished steel bracelet with five oval links. If you don't want a bracelet, there's also a rubber option, and all three mounts come with Tudor "T-fit" clasps for easy fine-tuning.
