Tudor watches have always been favourites of mine, albeit that I've only ever owned vintage examples. But in some ways this qualifies me to talk about Tudor latest addition to its collection of stylish diver's watches because its third Black Bay model adds an archive flavour to the range.
Based on a 1954 Tudor diving watch, but with the gorgeous and so different 'snowflake' hands of later seventies watches, the new Black Bay Black (launched this week and pictured above with its bracelet and straps) harks back to a vintage forerunner, but is very modern in its manufacture and movement.
The feel of quality robustness makes this a very modern watch and a perfect addition to the Tudor stable. An ideal watch for stylish daily wear, you can change the strap from bracelet to either NATO-style or battered leather match your outfit/activity/mood.

On sale from today, the price is a very reasonable £2120 to £2330 depending on bracelet/strap choice. More details and (for the watch expert) technical information from Tudor Watches.
