“Big Block” Chronograph...
Tudor have had a great resurgence in recent years with the Black Bay range. Superb watches in my opinion, offering a perfect balance of quality and value.
It’s easy to forget the “Big Block” Chronograph, first introduced in 1974 was designed to replace the Monte Carlo. At the time the use of the Valjoux 7750 Automatic movement was seen an important step forward for Tudor.
