Anyone know what happened? I have seen a couple of threads on TRF and the comments on Instagram. Half is people believing the Black Bay Dark is a new watch and the other half bashing Tudor for not releasing anything. People can’t seem to get excited about Tudor’s announcement that a famous rugby team is wearing one of the watches in their current lineup. In this day and age a big announement HAS to mean a new watch, or in Omega’s case 5 new watches.

Or is there a new watch coming

 

Tudor's UK website just promotes the All Blacks wearing the Black Bay Black, so doesn't look as though there is anything new coming from Rolex's little brother. Lots of hype for a team that require very little hype, maybe the watch isn't selling well

 

You have a point there. I have never seen one in the wild but have seen several of the ordinary Black Bays. I agree, team definitely doesn’t need any hype and it is cool if they wear the black Tudor. Good for them and good for Tudor. It would do the brand more credit if they wore it by themselves and not as part of a sponsorship. But hey that is not how the world works

 

Good luck trying to buy any Rolex or Tudor in New Zealand
More like the black hole for the brand last time I was there....

Appears to be a chrono version. Article is worth skimming just for the cringe-worthy wristshot photoshops

 

It's so cringe. Did the "Founder" made up a list of stupid poses they have to hold on every shot.

 

Dear me. I could have done a better job at photoshopping that. Time for a new career, one that allows me to afford more new watches than the current one at least.
