The Black Bay P01 reflects TUDOR’s commitment to innovation. Drawing inspiration from the patented hinged end-link system on the original prototype, this watch includes a unique stop system for the bidirectional rotating bezel via a mobile end-link at 12 o’clock. The bezel’s locking and dismantling mechanism is a nod to the prototype nicknamed “Commando”, developed by TUDOR for seamless maintenance and enhanced durability.
The watch embodies utilitarian aesthetics, with its case being entirely satin-brushed for a matte finish, mimicking the pragmatic design of its historical antecedent. The brown leather strap accentuates the timepiece’s rugged charm, while the domed matte-black dial with painted luminescent hour markers enhances legibility, reflecting the functional requirements of the original prototype.
The Black Bay P01 boasts of the Manufacture Calibre MT5612. This self-winding mechanical movement features a bidirectional rotor system, ensuring an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The non-magnetic silicon balance spring protects the watch from magnetic fields, enhancing its performance and reliability.
To ensure precision, the Calibre MT5612 is certified as a chronometer by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute. The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, and a date function, paying homage to the prototype’s utilitarian design while extending its capabilities for the modern user.
In line with its nautical roots, the Black Bay P01 is waterproof to 200m (660ft). This robust waterproofness, combined with its unique design and superior performance, resulted in the Black Bay P01 being awarded the “Challenge” Prize at the 2019 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, a testament to TUDOR‘s enduring commitment to horological excellence.
