This best-selling series offers a number of diving watch models with water resistance up to 200 meters (660 ft). 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. Dressed in a 39mm diameter case, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight watch has already conquered the hearts of aficionados, thanks to its versatility and classiness. It is a reliable recreational diving instrument with 200 meters water resistance. At the same time, it can also be used as a dress watch thanks to its compact dimensions and elegant appearance.

For investors and seasoned luxury watch collectors, Patek Philippe Nautilus is a Holy Grail. Due to its extremely limited production, customers have to wait many years to acquire a brand-new Nautilus from the venerable Geneva manufacture after booking. Because of this reason, it remains a hot favorite in the secondary market. History Introduced in 1976, Nautilus can be considered as the epitome of casual elegance. It belongs to the exclusive luxury sports watch category formulated in the early 1970s. The torchbearer of this premium segment was the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Interestingly, the legendary Swiss luxury watch designer Gerald Genta was the creative genius behind Royal Oak and Nautilus. Nicknamed Jumbo, the first-ever Patek Philippe Nautilus watch (3700/1A) was introduced in 1976. This model was discontinued in 1990. In the early 1980s, Patek Philippe progressively expanded this casual elegant collection by adding a medium (3800/1A) varaint and a ladies’ (4700/1A) version. In 1998, a new Jumbo model (3710/1A) with winding zone indicator IZR was launched. In 2004, the brand launched the white gold model 3711/1A. Debuted in 2005, the reference 3712/1A was the first Nautilus with a power-reserve indicator, moon phase, and analog date. All these references were discontinued in 2006. n 2006, to mark the 30th anniversary of this legendary series, Patek Philippe revised the prized collection by introducing new generation models like Ref. 5711/1 A with 43mm steel case, Ref. 5800/1 A with 38.4mm steel case, the Nautilus 5712 featuring small seconds, power-reserve indicator, date and moon phase and the Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1 A.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual is a timelessly class watch that represents the core value of Rolex. The simplistic and well-built design presents the purest form of a Rolex watch.  In 2020, together with other famous collections, a new generation of Oyster Perpetual in Rolex new watch 2020 are introduced. There are new colorful Oyster Perpetual models in both 36mm and 41mm, as well as updated 34mm versions.  The new Oyster Perpetual 41 mm with the reference 124300 gained the spotlight of the discussion. It comes with the largest case of the collection and a new in-house movement.  Rolex created both classic and genuinely fun versions for this Rolex 2020 entry watch. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 debuted with seven dial color options. While there are “Stella-inspired” bright colors which have not been featured on Rolex dials for a long time, 2 basic color options are also introduced: black and silver. It received overwhelming responses from the fans that they can enjoy the heritage of Rolex in a more affordable package.  The Rolex OP family now comes in 5 size families – 28 / 31 / 34 / 36 and the 41mm. The Oyster Perpetual 39mm model is now discontinued and replaced with the new OP 41mm.  Now let’s explore more about the New Rolex 2020 Oyster Perpetual watches Everything about Rolex new model 2020 in Oyster Perpetual series Case Stated right in its name, the new generation continues using the ultra strong case in Rolex Oystersteel. The shape of the case remains the same, with the update on the case size: replacing the 39mm model with the 41mm one. Oyster Perpetual 39114300-0005 The proportions of the case are so well built that it is hard to tell the difference between the discontinued Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 and the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 just by looking. Yet such a slight difference does matter if you feel them on the wrist. Therefore some collectors welcome the update while some still prefer the old one. In this way, the discontinued Oyster Perpetual 39 still holds its value in the secondary market.  Oyster Perpetual 41124300-0001 Dials Dial designs Oyster Perpetual 41124300-0001 The design of new OP dials remains the same basic architecture like the old ones. The new OP 41 share the same dial as the Oyster Perpetual 36, while the OP 34 and 28 have their own nuances.  On the dials of the new OP 41 and OP 36, the hour markers are displayed in double bars at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, while others are single bars. As for the 28 mm and 34 mm versions, all the markers are displayed in single bars. Oyster Perpetual 36116000/7 There is also a small difference on the minute markers outside the periphery of the hour markers among the models. On the 41 and the 36 version, the five minute intervals are in the shape of squares. For the 34, instead of the squares, Roman numerals are used to indicate the hours. And on the 31 version, all the markers are lines with shorter and bold lines for the 5 minutes. The 28 mm models do not have any markings at the 5 minute intervals on the small dial. Besides, since these models are housing the new in-house movements, a small Rolex crown replaces the minute marker at 30, and the words “SWISS” and “MADE” replace the 29 and 31 markers respectively. Dial Colors The part that experienced the most updates should be the dial colors.  The 2 basic dial colors are a sunburst silver with gold hands and a black with silver hands. But the ones that gained all the talk of the world are the new bright “Stella-inspired” colors. The colors offered are bright blue, turquoise, yellow, coral, green plus a candy pink only on 36 and 31 mm models. Oyster Perpetual 36 Yellow Dial126000-0004 The new colours are similar to the ones that the company, Stella, developed for Rolex’s dials in the 1970s. They are both bright, and applied by a special lacquer process. Those models became what is known as the Stella dials today.  The candy pink dial is only offered in Oyster Perpetual 36 as well as 31 mm one. The hue is a rather bright pastel pink. Although Rolex classifies the OP 36 as a men’s watch, the candy pink OP 36 watch can be a fascinating watch for women as well. The candy pink color is offered only in the 36 and 31 mm models, while the 34 and 28 mm models are available only in the more classical Pink. The lighting angle is such that the dial appears darker than it would if it was facing the viewer. The rehaut is marked with the now standard laser engravings saying “ROLEX” all around, punctuated by the Coronet logo. Oyster Perpetual 31 Candy Pink277200-0009 Movements: Caliber 3230 and Caliber 2232 Rolex Caliber 3230 Both Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 and 36 mm models house the Caliber 3230. This is a new Rolex in-house movement incorporating the Rolex patented Chronergy escapement. It is the same automatic movement featured in the new Rolex Submariner 124060. The Caliber 3230 beats at 28,800 bph, and can store up to 70 hours of power. With its Parachrom spiral, the 3230 movement has excellent resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. Like all Rolex watches, the Oyster Perpetual 41 and 36 meet the Superlative Chronometer specifications by Rolex and also obtained COSC chronometer certification. It is accurate to -2/+2 seconds a day on average. Rolex Caliber 2232 The Caliber 2232 is used in the Rolex watches for women – the OP 34, 31 and 28 mm versions. This new Caliber 2232 is the no-date version of movement 2236 that was introduced in 2014. The Caliber 2236 was the first Rolex movement using silicon balance spring which is called Syloxi. While the Caliber is the first 2232 movement with Syloxi escapement used in a stainless steel model. Both calibers beat at 28,800 bph with a 70 hour power reserve. The Rolex Caliber 2232 also meets the Rolex Superlative Chronometer specifications with COSC chronometer certification of accuracy +/-2 seconds a day maximum deviation. Wrap Up Oyster Perpetual 41 Blue Dial124300-0006 The Oyster Perpetual collection is almost Rolex’s bread and butter. There is a lot of attention paid to the new generation of the collection.  Numerous variations are available with its five model lines and multiple color options. The base design and architecture remains the same, yet the new models are different from the predecessors and to each other in the details.

In the Rolex GMT-Master II collection, the name of “Rolex Batman” should be a familiar name to you. In 2013 Rolex introduced the GMT-Master II 116710BLNR in Baselworld. Featuring the iconic black and blue Cerachrom bezel, it got a heroic nickname the same as the dark knight.  Compared with decades of history of GMT Master, the Rolex GMT Master II Batman watch is a young member among its other fellows such as the Rolex Pepsi models and Rolex Coke. Yet it received overwhelming responses from the market since its launch.  In 2019 Rolex discontinued the popular 116710BLNR Batman and replaced it with the new 126710BLNR Batman. It raised massive discussions among the Rolex lovers at the time on its technical updates and changes on the look.  Both of the Batman Rolex watches are considered as one of the important milestones of the whole Rolex GMT Master collection. Let’s take a closer look at these Rolex GMT Batman watches and see if we can decide which one is better.  History of Rolex GMT-Master II As the little brother of GMT Master, the first GMT Master II 16710 was introduced in 1983. It was the first Rolex GMT watch featuring a sapphire crystal and equipped with the Rolex Cyclops magnification lens placed above its date window. In 2005, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of GMT Master, Rolex unveiled a new generation of the GMT-Master II featuring its exclusive Cerachrom bezel instead of aluminum. Since then, the GMT-Master II models released in various materials, were all paired with Cerachrom bezels which is superior in corrosion resistance.  However, all of these Cerachrom bezels were in black until the introduction of the Rolex GMT Master II Batman 116710 BLNR. Launch of Rolex Batman 116710BLNR Rolex released the GMT Master Batman at 2013 Baselworld. Before its launch, Rolex has already declared that making a two-tone Ceramic bezel might be impossible. The launch is a solid proof that Rolex had overcome the technical difficulties and created this stunning watch.  As we can see from the model number, the watch itself is built off from the previous model GMT Master II 116710. The BL stands for ‘Bleu’ and the NR stands for Noir, which means blue and black in French. The Rolex Batman watch featured a blue and black Cerachrom bezel. The 24-hour marker on that dual-toned bezel allowed the wearer to differentiate between day and night hours in the second time zone.  As the first watch featuring a two-tone Cerachrom bezel, it instantly became one of the hottest Rolex watches in the market.  After its discontinuation in 2019, this value of watch even became higher. The demand for it never ceased because it is the last steel GMT Master II model featuring both Cerachrom bezel and an Oyster bracelet. Launch of Rolex Batman 126710BLNR https://bestwatch.sg/rolex-gmt-master-ii-126710blnr.html Six years after the launch of the first Rolex Batman 116710BLNR, Rolex released an upgrade version in 2019. It is called the new Batman or Batgirl in order to distinguish between the two watches.  We can find a number of upgrades in the new models and the most obvious change is the stainless steel Jubilee bracelet. It even started a huge debate among the Batman admirers.  While some people welcomed the change since the outlook has become more elegant, many others still favored the Oyster bracelet on the old version. They prefer the Rolex GMT watch to keep its sportiness as a professional sports collection.  The new Rolex Batman has actually undergone some noticeable improvements beyond the new Jubilee bracelet. Let’s take a deeper look on the comparison of the two Rolex Batman watches. Old Rolex Batman 116710BLNR vs New Rolex Batman 126710BLNR Bracelet 126710BLNR From the outlook the Rolex 116710BLNR and 126710BLNR look almost identical. As mentioned, the most obvious difference is their bracelet.  The original Batman 116710BLNR features a steel Oyster bracelet, like the other Rolex sports watches such as the Rolex Daytona or the Rolex Submariner.  The new 126710BLNR, however, comes with the classic 5-link Rolex Jubilee bracelet. On top of the elegant bracelet, it pairs with a solid folding buckle with Oysterlock and a 5mm Easylink extension. The Jubilee bracelet is more likely to be found on dress watch collections like the Rolex Datejust. That’s why some Rolex enthusiasts do not welcome this change on a Rolex sport watch. However it is not possible to switch between the two kinds of bracelets, those people would favour the old Batman over the new one.  Case  126710BLNR The case of the new Rolex Batman remains the same 40mm in diameter and 12.5mm thick just as the same.  Yet despite the same diameter, GMT Master 116710BLNR is thicker and angular on its shape. The Rolex 126710BLNR is a bit thinner and more rounded for a more refined feel on the wrist.  Movement  126710BLNR The new GMT Master Batman 216710BLNR houses the new in-house caliber 3285 movement. It was a delightful improvement over the previous 3186 movement in the 116710BLNR.  In 2019, all the Rolex GMT Master II models are equipped with the new caliber 3285.  The caliber 3186 in 116710BLNR offered 50-hour power reserve while the new 3285 movement improved it up to 70 hours. The calibre 3285 offers a more efficient escapement and kit train and a brand new variable-inertia balance wheel. The movement is certified Superlative Chronometer and provides a 5-year warranty. Which Should You Buy? When we see the specifics, the new Rolex GMT Master II Batman 126710BLNR is indeed technically superior to its predecessor 116710BLNR. It comes with a more refined case, slimmer lugs and better movement overall.  On the other hand, the old Batman 116710BLNR is still very popular due to its significance and sporty look. It was the first Rolex watch featuring a bi-colour ceramic bezel. It was also the first to have a blue and black bezel. Besides, with its short production for only a few years, it is valuable on the secondary market. To buy a reasonably-priced Rolex Batman Singapore will be one of the best regions.  Most importantly for some Rolex enthusiasts, they prefer the old batman which features the Oyster bracelet better. So, if you are those who admire Rolex history or like the classic Rolex sporty look, 116710BLNR will be the watch for you. If you’re the one who wants the most advanced model from Rolex, then the new 126710BLNR is the better choice.
