Fast forward a few decades, and
link Tudor all but disappeared from the
link American market – that is until 2012, when the Black Bay was created. This was an ETA-powered, vintage-inspired dive watch imbued with the spirit of the Tudor Submariners of old but presenting a distinct aesthetic via a chunky case, guard-less
link crown, and somewhat modern dial layout by way of applied numerals. The point is, these were not carbon copies of those Tudor subs, but the lineage was clear.
