The most extensive collection from Tudor, Black Bay offers wristwatches featuring different case dimensions, designs and materials. Black Bay Classic The Black Bay classic dive watch is inspired by a historic Tudor diving model first appeared in 1954. The iconic brand introduced the Tudor Heritage Black Bay watch in 2012 as part of their Heritage collection. Later renamed Black Bay, this vintage-era-inspired timepiece features a 41mm diameter case. The early references house customized ETA 2824 movements with a power reserve of 38 hours. Since 2016, Tudor has been offering Black Bay watches equipped with the in-house self-winding mechanical caliber MT5602. This movement provides an impressive power reserve of up to 70 hours. These new generation models are chronometer certified by COSC. With the crystal-clear dial layout with lumed hands and hour-markers, the watch offers precise indication of hours, minutes and seconds. However, the classic Black Bay does not have a date function. Black Bay 79230B-0007 At present, the Classic Black Bay watch is available with a black dial only, with the choice of black, blue or burgundy bezel inserts. The stainless steel model with a burgundy dial has long been known as Tudor Black Bay red watch. The brand offers three types of straps for the stainless steel Black Bay watches: steel bracelet, fabric and aged leather. It should also be noted that the bezel-inserts of stainless steel models are made of anodized aluminium. In addition to the existing stainless steel versions, the brand has recently added a new Black Bay ceramic watch. It is fitted with the Manufacture Calibre MT5602-1U, an upgraded self-winding movement with a notable antimagnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss. Featuring a matt-black ceramic case, this new variant features black PVD treated stainless steel rotating bezel, black ceramic bezel-insert, black dial and a hybrid leather and rubber strap in black color. Black Bay Black 79220R-STEEL Black Bay Date This impressive range is dedicated to those who love to have a date display in their diving watches. The Black Bay Date comes with a 41mm diameter case just like the classic version. Equipped with the Manufacture Calibre MT5612, this self-winding watch boasts a date window at 3 o’clock. The Tudor Black Bay date watch is available in two exterior finishes: stainless steel and two-tone. The bi-color variants feature stainless steel case, yellow-gold crown and yellow-gold unidirectional bezel with matt-black anodized aluminium bezel insert featuring gold markings. These dual-tone versions are available with black or champagne color dial. The all-steel variant is presently available with black dial only. Its case, case-back, crown, bezel and bezel-insert are made of 316L stainless steel. For the Black Bay Date series, Tudor offers three types of straps: metal bracelet, aged leather and fabric. Depending upon the version, the metal bracelet can be bi-metal (steel and yellow gold) or steel. Black Bay S&G 79733N-0006 Black Bay GMT This exceptional Black Bay wristwatch seamlessly integrates two practical functions – the Date and the Second Time Zone. Made of stainless steel, its 41mm diameter case houses a black dial with luminescent hands and hour-markers. It has two snowflake-style hour-hands. The red snowflake hand indicates the additional time zone. Its beating heart is Calibre MT5652, a state-of-the-art in-house self-winding mechanical movement. The Tudor Black Bay GMT features a bi-directional rotating bezel with a bi-color bezel-insert in matt burgundy and blue, for distinguishing day and night time. Boasting the famous ‘Pepsi’ style bezel and specially designed for travelers, this timepiece comes with a choice of steel bracelet or straps in leather or fabric. Black Bay GMT 79830RB-0001 Black Bay Bronze With a 43mm diameter case, this exemplary model is dedicated to customers who typically prefer large-sized wristwatches. Bronze has been associated with the maritime world since ancient times. Moreover, Tudor enjoys a glorious tradition in manufacturing reliable timekeepers for naval forces. The watch houses a trustworthy self-winding mechanical movement (calibre MT 5601). Made of a highly reliable aluminium-copper alloy used in naval engineering, this timepiece is a must-have accessory for ardent lovers of bronze wristwatches. Its bronze parts gradually develop a unique patina due to oxidation, making each timepiece a one-of-a-kind creation. Its slate-grey dial maintains the similar style of Black Bay classic watch i.e. three hands without the date. However, there is a minute difference in the hour-markers. The Tudor Black Bay Bronze model has Arabic numerals for 3, 6 and 9 hours where as in the Classic Black Bay, rectangular indices are used for the same. Black Bay Bronze 79250BB-0001 Black Bay P01 Featuring a 42mm diameter stainless steel case, Tudor Black Bay P01 is a tribute to a prototype diving watch created for the US Navy in the late 1960s. P01 stands for Prototype 1. In comparison with other Black Bay models, this watch features a varied design. For example, its crown is set at 4 o’clock instead of the usual 3 o’clock position. It also features crown-protectors whereas the other Black Bay watches do not have this feature. The bezel design is also different. Instead of the 0-60 scale bezel, P01 has a 60-notch, 12-hour graduated steel bidirectional rotating bezel. The watch also incorporates a stop system for the bidirectional rotating bezel via a mobile end-link at 12 o’clock. The Black Bay P01 has a black dial with a date window at 3 o’clock. This unusual Tudor watch is driven by the in-house self-winding caliber MT5612, the same movement used in the Tudor Black Bay Date watch. Black Bay P01 70150-0001 Black Bay Fifty-Eight The Black Bay Fifty-Eight series is not only dedicated to the customers with smaller wrists; it also attracts connoisseurs with a passion for diving watches with antique style and classic proportions.

Even the logo of the company was inspired by Kattegat and Skagerrak, which are the bodies of water that border the Skagen town. Despite the background concept of its name, Skagen is actually a US company found in 1989. Having been around for decades, the company had managed to go global, entering markets in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

You don’t need any knowledge about watches to know that watches can be extremely valuable. Especially vintage watches. In Oct 2017, the famous Rolex Daytona (Paul Newman Daytona 6239) was sold at auction for almost US$18 million. It is the highest record among all Rolex watches ever sold. Rolex watches are usually considered as the best option for timepiece investment. Although the price of a valuable Patel Philippe watch is usually higher than a Rolex, unfortunately, it is also extremely hard to even get on hand. Rolex is comparatively more accessible. The value of Rolex has been stable for over decades. Of course, not all of its models can hold their value well for years. Actually, some models are more suitable for investment. For example, some references of the Rolex Daytona are hardly available at concessionaires and the market is willing to pay double the official price. In the case of other watches, such as the Explorer II, their value would be uncertain at the moment for the potential for an increase in value. It will be mostly dependent on when it will be replaced by a successor model. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona has been one of the best Rolex watches for investment over the years. Let’s explore how the Rolex Daytona holds its value as one of the best “investment timepieces”. Reasons why Daytona is a good investment A Rolex watch itself is stable for investment Every collector knows that many Rolex models are good for investment because of their continuous growth in value and ever-retaining popularity. With its long history with record-breaking innovation and incredible marketing strategy, Rolex’s reputation is extraordinary worldwide. It makes the trading market for Rolex very active for both connoisseurs and beginners. Most of the Rolex watches will hold their value and are always in demand. It is the safest option if you are just about to make your first investment. Some classic models like the Rolex Daytona will even increase in value more exponentially than others. History of Daytona To understand why the Rolex Daytona is a good piece for investment, we will need to consider the history of this iconic timepiece as well. The Daytona Collection has always held an important seat in Rolex’s history. Time back to the year 1955, Rolex launched the very original Daytona 6234 model. The watch wasn’t launched in any name of “Daytona” or “Cosmograph”. It was just simply labeled “Chronograph” and it wasn’t selling very well at that time. Since the 1950s, the world has been obsessed with automobile racing. It had become one of the hottest sports in the US during the 1950s to 1960s. In 1962, Rolex served as the official timekeeper of the Daytona racetrack and introduced its 6239 Cosmograph for racing drivers in the next year. Rolex nicknamed the watch “Daytona” to emphasize its affiliation with the prestigious speedway. The Reference 6239 Daytona Rolex watch had soon become a popular pick for some iconic celebrities. It succeeded to build its name especially after Paul Newman wore it on his races. Paul Newman was an actor and a successful racing driver admired by auto racing lovers. The Rolex lovers nicknamed the reference of his Daytona “Paul Newman Daytona”. Nowadays, many of the Paul Newman Daytona watches are being sold for over millions of US dollars at auctions. The Rolex Daytona has become a legendary watch to hold values for investment overall. Daytonas are scarce Most models of Rolex Daytona are always scarce and in demand. Rolex usually distributes the new models in limited numbers to a few authorized dealers. Those dealers would have a year-long list of customers, who already pre-ordered a Rolex Daytona. Rolex would usually not reveal the number of the new models produced and the distribution. Yet the huge demand among the collectors for every Rolex new release is never satisfied. Even if you pre-ordered, it is still possible that you will need to wait for years. Some dealers would consider the waiting time would be more likely two to five years. Its circulation is never enough. Therefore, It is almost impossible to simply walk into a Rolex store and get one Daytona watch as you wish. Some collectors would simply wait for the distribution from the authorized dealers, some will happily spend over double the price to get a brand new Daytona watch instantly on the secondary market. Thereby the selling prices for a Rolex Daytona are ever-increasing and you can sell one anytime easily without losses. Rolex Sports Models Rolex sports watch collections usually reliably hold or appreciate in value than its other collections. The most in-demand sports watches include the Rolex GMT Master II, Rolex Daytona, and Rolex Submariner. Some special models of these sports watches, such as the Rolex Hulk Submariner and the Rolex Batman GMT-Master II have seen a continuing increase in value over time. Not only the popular old sports models can increase in value, even newly discontinued models instantly skyrocket in the second-hand market. Rolex sports watches will ever go out of style and are always in demand. As one of the most popular Rolex sports watches, it is fairly safe to say that Rolex Daytona watches are likely to increase in value under these circumstances. Best Daytona watch for investment Steel Rolex Daytona Black 116500LN Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN Black The most approachable Daytona watch for investment should be the Rolex Daytona 116500LN. It is a Rolex 904L Oystersteel model with a Cerachrom bezel and screw-down crowns. It is a timeless and classic design that is perfect for an everyday watch. Even at first glance it is easy to understand why this watch can be so much in demand. When the Rolex Daytona ceramic f116500LN was introduced at 2016 Baselworld, it was £9,600 at list price. However, in just a few years after its launch, it is now changing hands on the second-hand market for more than a double of price. Rolex Daytona Rose Gold 116515LN Cosmograph Daytona 116515LN-0013 For a Rolex Daytona, some collectors would go for a more luxurious one. Such as a rose gold Daytona with matching dial and diamond indexes. The rose gold for a Rolex is called The Rolex Everose gold. It is a perfect rosy gold without being too coppery that many Rolex lovers admire. That’s why a rose gold Rolex Daytona, as well, always holds its value because of its popularity among the collectors. Rolex Daytona Gold 116508 Cosmograph Daytona 116508/2 It should be needless to say that a classic yellow gold Daytona is also a good choice for investment. For example this Rolex Daytona gold 116508 with a black dial. A yellow gold Daytona always has its spot among the collectors and even celebrities.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual is considered as the purest form of a Rolex watch. Without date display, rotating bezel, chronograph or any fuss, it contains only the most classic features that define the brand. Its simplistic design is the one for purists. Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the quintessential example of Rolex. While other collections, such as Rolex Submariner or Rolex Datejust contain the “Oyster Perpetual” phrase in their name, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the most simple, straight-forward Rolex watch. Although it is less discussed, the Oyster Perpetual is the more accessible Rolex. Rolex Oyster Perpetual price is much more budget-friendly than other famous fellows. Many watch lovers see it as the entry watch to enjoy the heritage of Rolex. Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust is also one of the best choices for beginners. The Rolex OP watch offers various size and dial options to suit lots of different tastes. Here we are introducing some of the most popular models you can choose from. History of Oyster Perpetual The Oyster Perpetual is defined by two features that Rolex invented: its aesthetics and its self-winding Perpetual movement. The Oyster part is based on the 1926 Rolex Oyster, the very first waterproof watch in the world. Wilsdorf named it because this case design was as hard to open as the shell of Oyster and, similarly, needed special tools to do so. The Oyster Perpetual collection is directly descended from the 1926 original Oyster. The “Perpetual” of the name refers to the self-winding movement Rolex invented in 1931. The movement was powered by the perpetual motion of the wrist. It provides the watch with a constant source of energy without manual winding. As Rolex’s collection expanded, the name has become a special term to represent Rolex’s technology and attached to other collections’ names as a prefix. Until very recently in 2015, the Oyster Perpetual had long been considered as Rolex watches for women due to its smaller sizings – 26/31/34/36mm. Then, in 2015, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 mm was announced. Oyster Perpetual 39 Oyster Perpetual 39 Black Steel 39mm 114300-0005 The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39, introduced in 2015, is available with 5 dial color options. You can choose from the classic black or white, through grey, blue and purple. Its fantastic size is correctly proportioned for almost every wrist. The simple and sportily elegant look goes well with every occasion naturally. What replaced the Rolex OP 39 is the new Oyster Perpetual 41 mm. Instead of offering Oyster Perpetuals in sizes of 28, 31, 34, 36, and 39mm, there is now a jump of 5mm between the Oyster Perpetual 36mm and the 41mm one. Oyster Perpetual 41 Oyster Perpetual 41 Automatic Silver Dial Men’s Watch 124300-0001 In 2020, Rolex introduced a new 41 mm version into the family to replace Oyster Perpetual 39. Despite the size, the new dial options are a huge part of what the OP 41 offers. The new Oyster Perpetual 41 mm comes with 7 dial options. There are bright colors known as “Stella-inspired” and the classic dial options. The 2 classic dials are a new silver with sunburst finishing and a new black with sunburst finishing. The brighter options include turquoise, coral red, yellow, green, and sunburst blue color. Underneath the surface, the Oyster Perpetual 41 houses the new in-house caliber 3230. This is the same movement used in the new Rolex Submariner no date 124060. It boasts more accuracy, stability, and power reserve than the old generation of the OP watch. The movement is Superlative Chronometer certified that ensures the promising performance for daily wear. The Oyster Perpetual Models The Oyster Perpetual watch is always considered as the entry level into the world of Rolex. It has long been the best selling collection, outselling the other famous models. Let’s assume that you are not interested in a 26mm OP watch, there are still many variations in the collection. So let’s check out some of the best Oyster Perpetual watches that both men and women would enjoy. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 116000 Blue Dial Oyster Perpetual 36 Blue Explorer 116000 Although some OP enthusiasts will claim that 34 mm is the best since it inherits the size of the 1926 original one, it is still too small for some men. The 36mm Oyster Perpetual 116000 is more suitable for both ladies and the gentlemen with a small wrist. First released in 2008, Rolex 116000 has been around for a while and various of dial options have been introduced. Many wearers would go for the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 blue dial. This model adds a more elegant accent to the subtle watch. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300 Dark Rhodium Dial Oyster Perpetual 39 Dark Rhodium 114300 In 2015, Rolex 114300 was launched. The 39mm diameter of this OP watch can adapt to practically any wrist size. It immediately attracted the attention of male Rolex lovers and the ladies who like large watches. The Oyster Perpetual 39 came with 3 options of dial colors. The one that got the most discussions is the rhodium grey 114300. The rhodium grey shade adds a touch of elegance to such a sporty watch. This is perfect as an everyday watch for any occasion. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300 White Dial Oyster Perpetual Automatic White Dial Men’s Watch 114300 If you prefer a classic, the Oyster Perpetual 39 while dial will always make a statement for you. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114300 also offers a white dial option on a stainless steel Oyster bracelet with folding buckle. The functions with the splendid “Rolex standard” of this Rolex OP 39 include a 100-meter depth of water resistance and the precision of COSC Swiss chronometer certification. White dial Rolexes are rare – it provides additional value to this 39mm Oyster Perpetual. It is sometimes called “OP Polar” which is similar to the white Explorer Polar. Oyster Perpetual 41 124300 Turquoise Blue Dial The Oyster Perpetual 41 is introduced in 2020. The “Stella-inspired” dial options have collected their own supporters. Within these gorgeous colors, many people like the turquoise dial that is similar to the “Tiffany color”. Like all Rolex watches, it is a Superlative Chronometer that is certified by both Rolex and COSC. The new in-house 3230 automatic movement offers a power reserve of up to 70 hours. Wrap Up As the simplest and purest of all Rolex watches, Rolex Oyster Perpetual is designed with the core concept of what a Rolex is. It is a fantastic watch that houses Rolex’s best elements in a relatively affordable package. Read More : Suunto Rolex Omega IWC Watches Breitling Cartier Hublot Hamilton Chopard Panerai

Unlike most of the Swiss watch brands which debuted in the primeval periods, Hublot Company was born just recently when modernization and new technology have already expanded. Surprisingly, the Switzerland-based watchmaker has earned itself an utmost reputation in horology due to its extraordinary sophisticated collections like Hublot Classic Fusion and the Spirit of Big Bang. Under these two collections, the renowned watchmaker has been able to combine its novel craftsmanship with first-rate inventiveness, leading to the creation of ultra-modern luxury watches. These watches are truly lovable to many due to their ornate design and high reliability in precision. Since we’ve already touched a little on the prestigious King Gold watches, on this article I’ll share with you on the most-rated Titanium Hublot models. In case you didn’t know, titanium’s sturdiness, high resistance to corrosion, as well as high temperatures are dearly valuable in many fields and industries. In both its natural form and also as an alloy, the metal is widely used in naval ships, aircraft, spacecraft, and even armor-plating. So, you can imagine how worthy your wardrobe will be with a classic watch like the Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium 542.NX.1171.RX in the watch case. #5 MOST-RATED HUBLOT TITANIUM WATCHES CLASSIC FUSION AEROFUSION TITANIUM BLACK-Ref. 525.NX.0170.LR If there’s a field that Hublot is great at, let me say it’s skeletonizing their movements and dials. This is one of the major aspects that has supported the iconic brand in sophistication artistry, as with the 525.NX.0170.LR Classic Fusion which features a Self-winding Skeleton movement. For the men with a taste of humongous girth, this Hublot model has a 45mm polished titanium case and a Satin-finished titanium bezel. To ensure it is firm and steady to support the antireflective sapphire crystal, the bezel has an additional 6 H-shaped screws which are made of titanium as well. With its HUB 1155 skeleton movement, 525.NX.0170.LR Classic Fusion watch is exquisitely precise in hour-time and chronograph features. Only that you will need a big eye to tell the time in dark backgrounds since its silvered hands and hour indicators are not luminesced. HUBLOT CLASSIC FUSION OPALINE DIAL TITANIUM WATCH- Ref. 511.NX.2611.LR For the business class, classic and modish watches are usually the majors. Luckily, Hublot has crafted one with titanium that can serve your professionalism impeccably, whilst remaining as your luxury timepiece. Simple-but-luxurious, 511.NX.2611.LR Classic Fusion watch presents an exceptional design that’s superlatively adjustable with both dull and bright apparel. Following its black hypoallergenic alligator straps and the white Opaline dial that has been encased with the 45mm Satin-finished titanium case. To enhance the robustness of your trend, this Hublot Classic Fusion model has a polished bezel and 6 screws which are made of titanium as well. For functionality, you don’t have to worry at all with 511.NX.2611.LR on your wrist. The HUB1112 self-winding movement it houses can run for 42-hour minimum nonstop, providing you with high-precision of time and date at the 3 o’clock marker. Photo Credit : watch-yoshida.co.jp HUBLOT CLASSIC FUSION BLACK DIAL TITANIUM- Ref. 511.NX.1170.RX Apart from appearance, this Hublot model is quite similar to the 511.NX.2611.LR we’ve just discussed. It’s one of the starters that pioneered the Hublot Classic Fusion watch line back in 2010. As a classic “Hublot Big Bang design”, 511.NX.1170.RX watch has a sturdy titanium bezel and a 45mm outer casing that is made of titanium too. This helps sheathe the self-winding HUB 1112 caliber and the matte black dial with the Hublot Geneve signature beneath the 12 o’clock marker. Since the motive with the Hublot Classic Fusion was to simplify the Big Bang collection, 511.NX.1170.RX features skeletonized rhodium-plated hands. Along with a sapphire crystal case back which allows you to witness as some of the movement’s 25 jewels harmonize to produce the long-awaited tick. Unlike its counterpart which has a black alligator strap, 511.NX.1170.RX Hublot Classic Fusion Titanium watch comes with a black rubber strap. This makes the watch a multifaceted model and usable professionally, as well as for adventures on land and water ( 50M waterproofed). SPIRIT OF BIG BANG GREY TITANIUM CHRONOGRAPH- Ref. 601.NX.0173.LR Although this model appears to be classic, I won‘t say it is, since it’s as intricate as its brothers and sisters in the celebrated Big Bang collection. In fact, the major difference amongst them is case nature. With an aim to snatch Cartier its iconic Tank-design title, 601.NX.0173.LR SPIRIT OF BIG BANG features a tank-shaped Satin-finished titanium case with a polished micro-blasted titanium bezel. From its crystal clear sapphire dial, the HUB 4700 chronograph movement is notably visible as it continues with its magic. For those who cherish luxury watches for their complication, this model serves your liking optimally. In fact, Hublot has designed it so intricate that it can confuse you at first with its chronograph and date functions from the skeletonized date wheel. To support its 100 m waterproofness, 601.NX.0173.LR SPIRIT OF BIG BANG has large luminesced hour indicators and Rhodium-plated hands. Thus, easily readable even in the dark-blued sea depths. HUBLOT SPIRIT OF BIG BANG TITANIUM WHITE DIAMONDS- Ref. 665.NE.2010.RW.1204 All men are never born equal, thus, I believe all tastes are never similar as well. Classic. Ornate. And still reliable. This watch is a blend of various Hublot watches, together with “Cartier tank design” which features a rectangular case and seamless connection of the white rubber straps. On its 39mm Satin-finished titanium case, the wristwatch has a polished titanium bezel with a 50-diamond setting for extra brilliance and ultra-luxury. To ensure the bright splendor is retained even at 100m sea-depth, the white matte dial of the 665.NE.2010.RW.1204 watch has large luminesced hands and hour indicators. This attribute is essential for other dark backgrounds as well. Running with a powerful HUB1710 automatic movement, this titanium watch is capable of reserving power for up to 50 hours. While still presenting you with high-precision of time and even date at 6 o’clock. Conclusion: To ensure its eminent reputation is maintained optimally, Hublot is staunchly dedicated to changing the realm of horology using its intricate artistry and cutting-edge innovation. So far, its various luxury watches have managed to surpass even some of the oldest watchmakers. As with the Hublot Classic Fusion and the Spirit of Big Bang collections which feature a variety of precious metals like the exclusive King Gold and the non-corrosive Titanium.
