Daytona 116560 replica

Recently, TUDOR announced its entry into Formula 1 as an official partner of the Visa Cash App RB F1 Team (Toro Rosso). Toro Rosso drivers, Ricardo and Tsunoda, all wore TUDOR watches.

At first, some thought that TUDOR‘s sponsorship of F1 would provide drivers with a chronograph like the Black Bay timepiece, but TUDOR eventually gave the drivers a Black Bay ceramic watch. Unlike the regular models available for sale, the Black Bay ceramic watch worn by Toro Rosso drivers has a blue dial (the regular model has a black dial), which matches the design of Toro Rosso‘s car. It’s not yet known if the Blue Bay ceramic model with the blue dial is exclusive to the Toro Rosso team or if it will be available to the public in the future.

Although TUDOR is part of the Rolex Group and closely linked to Rolex, TUDOR has always been more “bold” and “adventurous” compared to Rolex. Rolex also looks to TUDOR as a “trailblazer” to try out new styles and technologies, and the Tudor Black Bay ceramic model is one example.

If other TUDOR watches can somewhat be compared to Rolex, the Black Bay ceramic is the closest TUDOR gets to Rolex. From the case to the movement, it uses technology that Rolex has never used before, and it is one of the most advanced and high-end TUDOR watches. Even though the blue dial version worn by the F1 Toro Rosso team isn’t available for purchase, you can still buy the regular Black Bay ceramic model directly.
