The Black Bay collection of watches is Tudor’s best-selling range, highly sought after thanks to its combination of vintage aesthetics and modern craftmanship. Released in 2012, the collection draws inspiration from the Tudor Oyster Prince Submariner ref. 7922, which was first launched in 1954. To that end, the present reference will attract those interested in vintage design with a preference for more contemporary pieces.
The Royalty and specialist protection unit are an elite wing of the British police charged with guarding members of parliament and the Royal family. In 2022 Tudor collaborated with the unit to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, each watch features the RaSP logo of a Tudor rose with a crown resting above at six o’clock and bears an engraving on the case back.
The watch offered comes from an actively serving member of the unit.
