The Black Bay line is the result of a subtle blend of traditional aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking. Far from simply being an identical re-release of a classic, each watch brings together over 60 years of TUDOR divers' watchmaking heritage while being resolutely anchored in the present.

Like other models in the line, the Black Bay 32, 36 and 41 feature a dial inspired by the TUDOR divers’ watches produced during the 1950s. They feature a prominent winding crown as a nod to the famous 7924 reference of 1958, aka the Big Crown, while its characteristic angular hands, known as "Snowflakes", were borrowed from the TUDOR watches used by the French National Navy in the 1970s.
