Tudor Black Bay 41 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

I'm not a fan of the brand with the rose, or the shield, as you will, and I never thought I'd own one. The brand remains too close to Rolex in its designs and doesn't make enough effort (in my opinion) to stand out. It has too few collections to its name; we're almost exclusively looking at Black Bay or Pelagos releases, and I'm really not a fan of their faux-rivet bracelets. It's mainly for these reasons that I didn't think I'd fall in love with this Black Bay Heritage Burgundy. When I saw the release online, the…

The 7 essential facts about the Black Bay 41 ref. M7941A1A0NU • A Tudor watch certified as a Master Chronometer by METAS • The proportions of the original Black Bay with a 41 mm case • A slightly domed, satin-brushed black dial with silver accents • Luminescent Snowflake hands • A BB powered by the Manufacture caliber MT5602-U, chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) • Three strap options • A five-year transferable warranty, with no registration or intermediate inspections…

It was a story that started off badly. It ticked all the boxes, being in the line of sight of a 14060M, when this BB41 came out, I was won over. However, when I tried it on in the store in front of my black ceramic Seamaster Diver 300M, it was a little bland. So, I gave it a miss. That's without counting on chance a year later when I had the opportunity to get one and I was starting to tire of my rather too "shiny" Omega. I seized the opportunity and convinced myself that it was a gateway to the Rolex. In the end,…

Recent acquisition of a brand that I particularly like for its adequacy between the quality offered and what, in my eyes, constitutes the fair price to pay for a high-quality watch in full steel. Since it freed itself from the overly oppressive tutelage of its big sister from 2017 and the arrival of manufactured calibers, Tudor has never ceased to impress me. Everything seems measured, calculated, taken into consideration to please a majority. Almost all of the watches are aesthetically successful, mechanically ac…

1st Tudor and instantly I became a fan boy :) Everything is there, the quality is omnipresent whether it is the case, the dials and the indexes, the crown, the Manufacture Caliber MT5602 (COSC), self-winding mechanical movement with bidirectional rotor system and offering 70 hours of power reserve. And even the bracelet that I find very comfortable, the buckle is very beautiful and very easy to open and close. These famous fake rivets do not bother me more than that, we do not see them and forget them very quickly,…

I recently acquired for my 18th birthday this magnificent Tudor Black Bay 41 equipped with this new 5-link bracelet with this incredible folding clasp. Honestly, I can only tell you between this ceramic bezel of such a captivating red, the black dial so plunging, its gold-colored hands and the indexes that make you think of a diver, without forgetting the manufacture movement and this oval "5-link" bracelet which is so comfortable. It is for the assembly that I needed to mark her 18th birthday as she marked this ye…

I was lucky enough to participate in W&W 2024 on Friday. Despite all the new products present, I had 2 watches in mind and a stand to see in particular: Tudor and the new BB58 GMT and BB41 monochrome with 5-link bracelet... I had confirmed the favorite I had in a photo Heading to the Tudor (Bucherer) pop-up store in Geneva to try to find the beauty.. 2 were available and I liked to try.. think.. find all the flaws and arguments against. This time a feeling of madness: buying it on a whim/whim at the risk of having…

At first I looked at it and hesitated a lot and then I wasn't a fan of aluminum glasses. My real choice was rather towards a sub. And then availability imposed its choice... today I have both and yet this Black Bay has a priority place in my collection. Massive heavy, you have to assume. In short, it is my number 1. In addition, it still attracts less attention... I would dive back in without hesitation if I had to start again

A delightfully vintage "Tool-watch" that assumes its diver side with its 41mm diameter. It can also be dressed up with a black leather strap but can also prove to be a vibrant homage to the "007" of 1964 with the ad-hoc semi-NATO. The black bezel highlighted by the subtle red triangle makes it timeless and insensitive to fashion effects.
