Introducing Tudor Unveils the Black Bay Ceramic Las Vegas Grand Prix 2024 Edition

The Tudor Black Bay collection, first introduced at the Basel Watch Fair in 2012, quickly made waves in the luxury watch industry thanks to its striking blend of vintage inspiration and modern technology. Drawing from Tudor’s legacy of crafting robust timepieces, the Black Bay collection is celebrated for its versatility, combining classic design with cutting-edge performance features. While the collection has long been popular among dive enthusiasts, it has also attracted attention from motorsport fans, particularly for its robust construction and racing-inspired design elements, such as the signature rotating bezel.

Among the standout pieces from the Black Bay collection is the "Black Bay Ceramic Blue," and now, Tudor presents its latest masterpiece, the “Tudor Black Bay Ceramic Las Vegas Grand Prix 2024 Edition”. This special edition is a tribute to the Visa Cash App Racing Bull team and their participation in the prestigious Las Vegas Grand Prix. With its bold design and precision engineering, this timepiece perfectly captures the spirit of motorsport, combining style, performance, and durability for racing enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.

The watch features a robust 41mm matt black ceramic case with a sleek, modern design, measuring 14.4mm in thickness. It is equipped with a domed sapphire crystal and a unidirectional bezel made from black PVD-coated 316L steel, which integrates a 60-minute graduated black ceramic inlay with engraved markings and numerals for precise timekeeping. The screw-down crown ensures enhanced water resistance, rated at 200 meters. The open case back, also crafted from black-PVD-treated 316L steel with a sapphire crystal, provides a view of the movement, combining style with functionality for both casual wear and diving.

The dial features a vibrant blue-to-green gradient that evokes the team’s dynamic livery, creating a striking and eye-catching look. Black hands complement the bold design, while applied black circular, triangular, and rectangular indexes filled with SuperLumiNova ensure excellent legibility, even in low light. The hour markers are framed by a black-printed minute track for precise timekeeping. White spots are randomly scattered across the dial to complement the official race logo and team member uniforms, adding a unique touch that connects the watch’s aesthetics to the world of motorsport. These details enhance the overall visual appeal.

The watch is powered by the Tudor caliber MT5602-1U, an automatic movement renowned for its precision and reliability. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz). It holds both METAS and COSC certifications, ensuring it meets the highest standards for accuracy and performance, including chronometer-grade precision, and provides a 70-hour power reserve.

It comes with two strap options, a leather and rubber strap in a glitter green-blue color, secured with a folding clasp made from black PVD-treated 316L steel. The price is still upon request.
