The [TUDOR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantaci-x-undefeated) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tudor-pink-black-bay-chronograph) [MT5813](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tudor-pelagos-fxd-chrono-cycling-edition) 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.

The TUDOR Black Bay Chrono Dark watch is limited to just 1,181 examples, which is also the number of players who have joined the All Blacks since 1903. Priced at $5,925, the timepiece will also be seen on the wrists of the referees at the Rugby World Cup.
