Launched in 2012, The Black Bay collection has become Tudor's best-selling and most sought after range thanks to its combination of vintage aesthetics and modernity. Drawing inspiration from the Oyster Prince Submariner ref. 7922, which first launched in 1954, the present reference will attract those interested in vintage design with a preference for more contemporary pieces.
The Royalty and Specialist Protection unit are an elite wing of the British police charged with guarding members of Parliament and the Royal family. In 2022 Tudor collaborated with the unit to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. Each watch features a Tudor rose, the RaSP logo, resting above six o’clock and bears an engraving on the case back featuring Queen Elizabeth II's cypher.
