Don’t call Tudor a cheap Rolex. Sure, there are Rolex vibes, but the new Black Bay Pro provides more evidence that Tudor imbues serious style and quality. The Rolex Explorer-like Black Bay Pro still has its own personality and a perfectly sized 39mm case. The black dialed beauty comes with snowflake hands, a fixed 24-hour stainless steel bezel, and the excellent in-house MT5652 GMT four-handed movement. Choose between a jacquard woven fabric strap or a faux-riveted stainless steel bracelet with an extension clasp. Sapphire glass, 200 meters of water resistance, a low-profile screw-down crown, and 70 hours of power reserve make it ready for everyday duties. It’s easily a watch that can take on the office and exploration without skipping a beat.
