The Tudor Black Bay P01 is a watch that you really need to understand before link you start passing judgement, and luckily we had Cole on hand at Baselworld to offer up some much needed link insight into link the history, development, and production of the P01. This is a hands-on look at the watch, sure, but it's also a fantastic history lesson.Check out the full story here.
Those are, the link "Blackout," the "T-Swiss," the "Swiss Only," and the "Swiss Made." Each of these variants is named for specific link variations on the dials themselves. In 14270 lore, link the dial is where you see the most obvious changes to the watch over time, and so it only makes sense to demarcate them in this way.
This ever-so delicate link marvel, which required work spanning 5 phases from manipulating the link raw bisque through to mounting the medallion on the dial disc, discreetly hosts the silvered leaf-style link hour and minute hands.
Nightmare Alley (starring link Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, and Rooney Mara) is directed by Guillermo Del Toro, with props by Christopher Geggie, assisted by link Maria Simonelli. It's link now playing in theaters.
Come to think of it, it reminds me of the blue-toned windowpane suit I bought to go to the Kentucky Derby way back in 2013. This watch would kill with that suit. Or, let's be real, that suit link would kill with this link watch. It link makes me want to drop 15 pounds, dust off an outfit bought for hobnobbing near horses, and make it to Louisville in a few weeks' time.
I've owned enough chronographs to know that I'm not generally a chronograph guy. That said, I get a lot closer to ownership when the watch in question is less than 40mm wide. While chronographs can tend to be very chunky, there is a certain link appeal to that complicated dial design packed into a case that wears well on my wrist. Obviously, watch size is not an objective measure, but I love the size of the link Farer Automatic Chronograph link and how well it sits on my seven-inch wrist.
Attempting a macro-level and entirely less lost-in-the-sauce view, I think this is an excellent addition to the Black Bay line and a big link move for the 58 in general. In link the realm of fun-but-useless speculation, I would love to see a version in the Navy coloring, or – surprise, surprise – please put this movement in a Pelagos 39. I assure you, it would be link rad.
A few weeks ago, we took a look at the newest of the new when I wrote about the Rolex Submariner 124060. This week, let's hop back two generations and talk about a pair of link Submariners that represent the link end of the vintage Submariner era (or perhaps the beginning of the modern). I am talking, of course, about the link ref. 16610 and ref. 14060 Submariners.
Now, it’s easy to think about SCUBA diving during link this period link and into the 1970’s and the mind’s eye often drifts to scenes of Jacques Cousteau and others who were exploring the deep, but this link was only part of the story.
What is the mantra for sustainability? Reduce, reuse, recycle. Recycle the material we use, and then everything can be reused, repaired, remounted forever because it's not corrupted. It's not oxidized when you use gold and platinum and so forth. These link are renewable link materials that can link last as long as you take good care.
