Part of the celebrated Heritage Black Bay collection, this model pays homage to TUDOR’s rich legacy in tool watches while delivering the reliability and precision expected from modern Swiss craftsmanship. Designed for those who traverse time zones or appreciate the intricate mechanics of automatic movements, the Black Bay GMT stands out with its distinctive red and blue “Pepsi” bezel—a nod to classic aviation and dive watches of the mid-20th century. The watch features a 41mm stainless steel case, a domed sapphire crystal for enhanced clarity and scratch resistance, and a robust build that ensures longevity.

Key Features

• Automatic Movement: The watch is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, eliminating the need for battery changes. Energy is generated through the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist, ensuring consistent timekeeping and reducing long-term maintenance. This feature appeals to enthusiasts who value traditional watchmaking and the rhythmic precision of mechanical engineering.
• GMT Functionality: Equipped with a 24-hour rotatable bezel and an independent GMT hand, the watch allows the wearer to track a second time zone simultaneously. This dual-time capability is especially useful for frequent travelers, remote professionals, or anyone coordinating across different regions. The GMT hand can be adjusted independently, making it easy to read home and local time at a glance.
• Stainless Steel Construction: The case and bracelet are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, scratches, and daily wear. The polished and brushed finishes enhance the watch’s visual depth and give it a refined, professional appearance suitable for both casual and formal settings.
• Vintage-Inspired Design: The Black Bay GMT features a 41mm case diameter, a signature element of the Black Bay series, and a domed sapphire crystal that echoes the look of historical dive watches. The combination of retro styling with modern materials ensures both aesthetic appeal and practical durability.
• Water Resistance: With a water resistance rating suitable for swimming and snorkeling, the watch is built to perform reliably in aquatic environments. It is engineered to withstand immersion in water, making it a practical choice for active lifestyles without compromising on elegance.
