The all-new Black Bay Greenwich watch maintains the same functions as its previous models, but makes changes in color matching and material selection, fully demonstrating Tudor’s unique and superb technological research and development capabilities and aesthetic concepts. This wristwatch is crafted from two materials: stainless steel and gold, which is commonly known as “intermetallic”. It is a great choice for those who pursue a sense of luxury but don’t want to be too ostentatious. The gold screw-down crown is adorned with Tudor’s classic embossed rose logo, making it highly recognizable.
The two-tone rotating bezel is a major highlight of this watch. The anodized aluminum character ring is filled with gold for the number scale. The half circle with a brown background represents the 12 hours of the day, while the half circle with a black background represents the night time. This black and brown combination design is affectionately called the “Sash ring” by everyone because the color matching of Sash soda is very similar, which is full of fun.
The dial diameter is 41 millimeters, which is a moderate size among sports watches and can be worn by most people. Because the color scheme of this watch is eye-catching, to balance the visual effect, the overall layout is relatively simple, with only a date display window at the 3 o ‘clock position, which is convenient for wearing during commuting. It is worth mentioning that the wearer can know the time of three places through this wristwatch. The time of the starting place is indicated by a relatively slender hand, which circles the dial once every 24 hours. The shorter “snowflake” pointer is used to indicate the local time and has an independent time adjustment function. The time of the third time zone is indicated by the two-way rotating outer ring of the 24-hour scale and the “24-hour” hand together, which is clear and easy to read.
Equipped with a gold steel strap, it is inspired by the folding rivet straps made in the 1950s and 1960s. The two side links are connected by rivet heads, presenting a unique stepped structure, which is a remarkable ingenuity. The new ZF Black Bay Greenwich watch maintains the same functions as its previous models. However, the changes made in color matching and material selection fully demonstrate the unique and superb technological research and development capabilities and aesthetic concepts of the ZF factory.
The screw-down sealed back cover design, with a combination of matte and frosted finishes, is exquisitely crafted and can effectively ensure the safety of the internal movement of the watch. The teeth on the stainless steel bottom cover are carefully polished, with the depth precisely controlled to be consistent with the original. The corners are clean and free of burrs. The engravings on the bottom cover have been repeatedly refined. In terms of size, depth and thickness, they are all equivalent to genuine products. The Seagull 2836 movement correction product has excellent performance. The MT5652 movement has 100% consistent functions with the genuine product.
Summary: The ZF factory Tudor “Sash bezel” is exquisitely crafted and highly accurate. Compared to the Rolex brand, it is more understated. It is highly recommended for those who like this watch.
