Admittedly, a watch's lack of popularity may stem from shortcomings in price, design, or user experience. Among Tudor's releases in the last five years, the Black Bay P01 is arguably the most controversial. The first impression of this watch is its "strangeness": a thick case, elongated lugs, and a crown at 4 o'clock—all incongruous with mainstream diving replica watches. In fact, the Black Bay P01's design largely sacrifices functionality.
With the recent surge in retro trends, the brand has revived this long-forgotten design. In 2004, a prototype Tudor watch submitted for a US Navy bid attracted collectors' attention at an Antiquorum auction in New York. However, there was some controversy regarding whether this piece was genuine Tudor. This controversy ended with the release of the Black Bay P01 in 2019—Tudor officially endorsed it, confirming its authenticity.
The Black Bay P01's unusual feature is first and foremost its "hinged end link system." Simply put, this is a latch that engages with the bezel; the user opens it when the bezel needs to rotate, and it locks securely in place when closed. Combined with the 12-hour scale, it provides a second time zone information. The crown at 4 o'clock is another "odd" aspect of this timepiece. As a watch designed for the navy, this design is also function-oriented, reducing the watch's lateral width to minimize the impact of horizontal shocks on the crown.
The second product to experience a lukewarm reception is the Black Bay 1958 925. As its name suggests, the Black Bay 1958 is based on the replica Rolex brand's first 200-meter water-resistant dive watch, Ref. 7924, launched in 1958, maintaining the same 39mm size and water resistance. Since its inception, the series has expanded its material offerings, now covering various rare metals such as 18K gold, 925 silver, and bronze.
