    The Black Bay Chrono "Blue" was inspired by Tudor's 1970s models, the blue Submariner and the Oyster Date Chronograph Monte Carlo. Colorful dials are becoming commonplace these days, but Tudor was the first to adopt blue before other brands.

    Blue has already been introduced in other collections such as the Heritage Chrono and Black Bay, but surprisingly, this is the first time it has been used in the Black Bay Chrono.

    The distinctive blue dial features the snowflake hands that are the symbol of the Black Bay Chrono, and two silver sub-counters. The indexes and hands are white, while the sub-dials are silver, creating a striking contrast with the deep blue color.

    The 45- minute counter and date display at 6 o'clock are inspired by early Tudor chronographs, making this a watch that combines classic elements with a modern style.

    ②Tudor's unique T-Fit , 5- link bracelet made of SS (stainless steel)

    [Tudor] Equipped with a clasp with the unique " T-fit" adjusting system, you can fine-tune the length of the bracelet without tools. The length can be adjusted up to 8mm in 5 steps, so you can easily change the length according to your physical condition and style.

    The buckle also uses ceramic ball bearings, which allows for smooth opening and closing and a pleasant feel. It's easy to overlook, but the buckle is a part that you use every time you wear the watch. Because it's a part that you use so often, it's nice to know that it's made with a focus on comfort.

    ③Chronograph movement " Cal.MT5813"
