Tudor Black Bay P01 - Live from Baselworld

 
 By: christianch : March 24th, 2019-11:47
This is probably one of the most controversial watches of Baselworld 2019 but I feel that in the metal the Tudor Black Bay P01 is wonderful The watch has a lot of character and has a sort of raw beauty that is difficult to capture in photos. The strap is ...  

My opinion only!!!!

I wouldn’t wear this watch if it was given to me for free! This model should have stayed as a prototype! Once again my opinion and I’m sure others will like it.

It's growing on me.

I could see owning it in spite of, or perhaps because of, it's quirkiness. It's a shame there's not a bracelet option, though the rubber/leather strap looks very good. This one's on my interest list, which is a first for a Tudor. M4

I like the bracelet..but of course if someone prefers a full steel bracelet this is not to consider..but

for someone with too many watches may be is a good excuse to have something different

same here

really consider an utter cool watch

I like it because its original and cool, dont know if it is for me but i will decide once i see it live. Thanks for these good pictures !

I havent found any mention of the lug to lug size yet, or heigth, do you know it by chance ? And what is your wrist size ?

very small wrist :) My understanding is that there is a normal spring bar

after the metal parts of the strap BUT the original strap is really cool I can tell you that overall it wears smaller than the Bucherer 43mm Bronze. Seems also less thick somehow..is wearable (more than the Rolex Deepsea which I own and love a lot..)

I think this is the most interesting watch from Basel this year

It's clearly different and seems well integrated. Complicated, but in a different way.

Not sure I love it Nicolas -- not enough to buy it, to be honest.

 
 By: JohnFM : March 24th, 2019-12:48
But it was at least a bit of a surprise. Basel was not especially interesting, at least to me this year.

I understand you did cover a lot of watches in your wonderful instagram posts but..

 
 By: christianch : March 25th, 2019-12:17
somehow I missed Omega, Breguet, Jaquet Droz, Blancpain..Longines.. Still overall the organization was better and not as crowded which is a big +

indeed is different...

 
 By: christianch : March 24th, 2019-13:28
and very charming in person.

I think this watch is really cool

 
 By: stabilizer : March 24th, 2019-12:38
And I would wear it !

I’m a bit disappointed with Tudor this year....

 
 By: kev09 : March 24th, 2019-12:44
...having bought a BB58 and a BB GMT last year ( both superb watches by the way) but this one isn’t for me although it does look quite good on the wrist. Regards Kev.

Just my considered opinion....

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : March 24th, 2019-13:20
I’ve ordered one ☝️

well done..I feel you can't go wrong with this one if you have other watches...

 
 By: christianch : March 24th, 2019-13:31
I think is a very cool piece ...summer, winter with a suit..with a t-shirt. Very versatile and the price is very competitive for an COSC movement. I might get one too

Thanks for your reply...

Tudor are in the sweet spot and adding this to my collection makes sense.

This is one of only two new watches @ this year's Baselworld that I'm probably going to buy

 
 By: reintitan : March 24th, 2019-13:43
I really like the design. Weird, for sure. Looks good though in a non-classical beauty way. The 12-hour bezel makes sense in that at the time (late 60s and early 70s) US military issued watches included the Benrus Type I and Type II Class A dive watches w... 

+1 ! [nt]

Does it look like the strap can be replaced for something less avant-garde?

 
 By: VinnieD : March 24th, 2019-14:05
It could look good on a steel bracelet or a plain rubber diver strap Thanks

+1000

I don't like the end pieces. Looks terrible IMO.

I'm really happy they made it

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : March 24th, 2019-14:23
Different is good, even it's not something I would personally buy. How many more Black Bays do we need to see at the moment? The right guy wearing this watch would be awesome to see. The worst thing a watch can be called is ordinary, which it certainly is... 

Nicely put! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : March 24th, 2019-14:27

well said..of course is not for everyone but it doesn't have to be

 
 By: christianch : March 24th, 2019-17:03
and the history behind it is fascinating.. to say the least !

Controversial = good for me.

Put me in the "I like it" camp!
