The TUDOR Black Bay Chrono Dark watch is a timepiece that celebrates the legacy of the New Zealand-based All Blacks national rugby team and offers enthusiasts with a stylish accessory that packs impressive specs.
The watch is powered by a Caliber MT5813 movement that's made in-house, COSC-certified and features a self-winding movement. The black bezel on the timepiece is crafted from anodized aluminum with the bracelet and case made using brushed stainless steel finished with a black PVD.
