While brands often lean on the resources of other watchmakers to create their timepieces, few are as candid about it as Tudor. This year sees the result of a reciprocal agreement with Breitling that has allowed it to build on its own in-house expertise to deliver one of the most affordable high-spec chronographs on the market, while Breitling has used the COSC-certified Tudor calibre MT5612 as the basis for its redesigned Superocean Heritage line.
The Heritage Black Bay Chrono is the first Tudor design to host this new movement, the calibre MT5813. Taking the Breitling 01 as a starting point, it has been modified with the addition of a Tudor regulator and the brand's trademark finishing. It marks the addition of a chronograph to its popular Black Bay line of diving watches, while this heritage edition retains many of the hallmarks of the original models.
