The Black Bay P01 is inspired by a prototype developed by Tudor in the late 1960s and proposed to the US Navy, which was supposed to replace the Prince Submariner reference 7928 already on board but which never came to fruition. Its re-edition reinterprets the particular system of the articulated end link that was the subject of a patent that included a mechanism for locking and disassembling the bezel, intended to facilitate watch maintenance. The new Black Bay P01 in fact provides a bidirectional rotating bezel locking system via a mobile end link at 12 o'clock. Water-resistant to 200 metres and with the winding crown at 4 o'clock like the original, it has a convex matt black dial, Snowflake hands and luminescent hour markers. The steel case, like the prototype that inspired it, is entirely satin-finished. The movement is the manufacture calibre MT5612, Cosc chronometer-certified and with a 70-hour power reserve. Price: 3,760 euros.
