Over the following eight years, each collection has followed vastly different paths. For instance, Tudor has expanded the Black Bay collection significantly by adding plenty of different models to the lineup &#8211; both dive watches and otherwise. In contrast, the Tudor Pelagos has remained largely the same (but with some important updates) since its debut by sticking to its tool watch roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tudor Black Bay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When Tudor introduced the Black Bay, the name may have been new but it was clear that the watch model drew design cues from important vintage Tudor diving watches. For example, the 1954 Oyster Prince Submariner ref. 7922 serves as inspiration for the Black Bay\u2019s case shape, dial design, and domed crystal while the 1958 Submariner ref. 7924 &#8220;Big Crown&#8221; informed the oversized crown silhouette. Furthermore, the thick and geometric \u201cSnowflake\u201d hands were taken from 1970\u2019s Tudor divers destined for the French Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first model to kick off the collection was the Black Bay ref. 79220 with a burgundy bezel followed by a blue bezel version then finally, a black bezel edition. If you want to figure out the bezel color from a particular reference number, understand that the letters are short for different colors in French: \u201cR\u201d for\u00a0<em>rouge<\/em>\u00a0(red), &#8220;B&#8221; for\u00a0<em>bleu<\/em>\u00a0(blue), and &#8220;N&#8221; for\u00a0<em>noir<\/em>\u00a0(black).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, Tudor replaced the ETA movement-powered Black Bay ref. 79220 with the Black Bay ref. 79230, which is powered by an in-house movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2012<\/strong> &#8211; Black Bay ref. 79220R with red burgundy bezel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2014<\/strong> &#8211; Black Bay ref. 79220B with blue bezel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2015<\/strong> &#8211; Black Bay ref. 79220N with black bezel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2016<\/strong> &#8211; Black Bay ref. 79230 R\/B\/N with new in-house movement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2016<\/strong> &#8211; Black Bay ref. 79230DK with black PVD treatment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_5717-2-Edit-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor Heritage Black Bay vs Pelagos\" class=\"wp-image-45058\" title=\"Tudor Black Bay Dark\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_5717-2-Edit-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_5717-2-Edit-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_5717-2-Edit-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_5717-2-Edit-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_5717-2-Edit-2-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Black Bay ref. 79230 is the heart of the Tudor BB collection.

Positioned as Tudor\u2019s most technical dive watch and named after the Greek word for \u201copen seas,\u201d the first model to launch the collection was the Pelagos 25500TN. The watch featured a large but lightweight 42mm titanium case with a helium escape valve at 9 o\u2019clock, a black ceramic diver\u2019s bezel, and a dial with the luminous Snowflake hands and geometric indexes. Inside the Pelagos 25500TN is an automatic ETA-based movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years later, Tudor introduced the Pelagos 25600TN along with a new blue version, the Pelagos 25600TB. The major difference between this pair of Pelagos watches and the previous edition is that the newest versions run on an in-house Tudor movement. Furthermore, because of that caliber switch, the dials of the Pelagos now include three more lines of text to include the \u201cChronometer Officially Certified\u201d designation, in addition to the PELAGOS name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in 2016, Tudor introduced the Pelagos LHD 25610TNL, where LHD stands for \u201cLeft Hand Drive\u201d to denote that the winding crown is placed on the left side of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2012<\/strong> &#8211;

Both models debuted at Baselworld 2017. As their names suggest, the Steel version sports a 41mm steel case while the SG (short for Steel Gold) includes a steel case with yellow gold details. Both versions feature large screw-down winding crowns, reminiscent of the famous Tudor ref. 7924 \u201cBig Crown\u201d from 1958.&nbsp;The Tudor Black Bay dive watches are water-resistant to 200 meters (660 feet) while the Tudor Pelagos timepieces can go much deeper with a water resistance rating of 500 meters (1,640 feet). In addition to their greater depth rating, Pelagos watches also feature helium escape valves allowing them to be used for saturation diving purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep the price accessible, Tudor used a variety of gold applications on the Black Bay SG model including gold-capping the crown. There are also the yellow gold-capped center links on the bracelet of the SG along with solid gold end-links. The rivet-style bracelet of both the Black Bay Steel and SG are also vintage-inspired, borrowing design details from Tudor watches from the 1950s and 1960s. Both watches are available with the option of a fabric strap for a different look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the blue Tudor Pelagos (ref. 25600TB) and the black Tudor Pelagos (ref. 25600TN) feature 42mm titanium cases, making them look and wear a bit larger than the Heritage Black Bay models. The titanium bracelets of the Pelagos watches include a super practical spring-loaded clasp. This allows the clasp to expand and contract according to the wearer\u2019s wrist motion for optimal fit and comfort. As a professional diving watch, the Tudor Pelagos also comes available with an extra-long and durable rubber strap for wearing over a wetsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_0063-3-Edit-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor Heritage Black Bay vs Pelagos\" class=\"wp-image-45063\" title=\"Tudor Pelagos - Black\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_0063-3-Edit-2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_0063-3-Edit-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_0063-3-Edit-2-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_0063-3-Edit-2-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_0063-3-Edit-2-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tudor Heritage Black Bay vs. Pelagos: Dial and Bezel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A look at the dials of both the Heritage Black Bay and the Pelagos reveals Tudor&#8217;s iconic snowflake-style hands. These distinct hands are taken from those Tudor watches destined for the French National Navy in the 1970s. In addition to the center hands, the Pelagos also has a date window at 3 o\u2019clock, as do the Black Bay Steel and SG models, despite the standard Black Bay being a time-only watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since these are diving watches, both the Heritage Black Bay and the Pelagos have great lume on the dial. The Heritage BB has round indexes while the Pelagos includes square ones. Furthermore, the inverted triangle indexes and batons are thicker on the Pelagos compared to the slimmer ones on the Black Bay. Depending on the version, the Pelagos dial comes in bright blue or classic black, both with white details. The Tudor Black Bay watches feature domed black dials. To match the two-tone construction of the SG version, its dial has yellow gold details completed with gilt text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tudor Pelagos watches include ceramic unidirectional diving bezels in matching blue or black, and unlike the bezels on the Black Bay collection, the bezels on the Pelagos feature fantastic luminescence. Conversely, the Black Bay Steel comes equipped with a steel bezel while the SG model has a black bezel insert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tudor Heritage Black Bay vs. Pelagos: Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the time-only Black Bay is powered by Tudor&#8217;s in-house&nbsp;MT5602 movement, both the Pelagos and the date displaying Black Bay models&nbsp;run on the in-house Tudor Manufacture Caliber MT5612. It\u2019s also worth noting that the Steel and SG models are the first time that the Black Bay collection has offered the date function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MT5612 automatic movement provides a 70-hour power reserve with a frequency rate of 28,800 beats per hour (4Hz). Of course like other in-house Tudor movements, the Cal. MT5612 boasts COSC chronometer certification.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_0108-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor Heritage Black Bay vs Pelagos\" class=\"wp-image-45062\" title=\"Tudor Black Bay SG\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_0108-1-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_0108-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_0108-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_0108-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_BlackBay_5D3_0108-1-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tudor Black Bay or Tudor Pelagos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although all carry signature design details from Tudor\u2019s archives, the Black Bay is without a doubt the more vintage-inspired option with details such as domed crystals, domed dials with gold accents, and a lack of crown guards. Additionally, the Black Bay range offers much more variety in terms of sizes, materials, and functionality, to suit a range of styles and tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, the more contemporary-looking Pelagos sits firmly in the tool watch category, emphasizing no-nonsense utility above obvious luxury. Specs like the spring action clasp, generous lume on the ceramic bezel, HEV, and 500m water-resistance rating make the Pelagos a technically impressive dive watch. While it offers a few references to design traits from Tudor&#8217;s past, the Pelagos is undeniably a modern watch, both inside and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they are both highly capable dive watches, the Black Bay and Pelagos offer two very different takes on a professional underwater timepiece. Both the Tudor Black Bay and the Pelagos collections are superb in their own way, presenting fantastic aesthetics and top-notch mechanics &#8211; and as always, offered at attractive Tudor value-driven prices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_3973-Edit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tudor Heritage Black Bay vs Pelagos\" class=\"wp-image-45064\" title=\"Tudor Pelagos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_3973-Edit-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_3973-Edit-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_3973-Edit-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_3973-Edit-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Tudor_Pelagos_5D3_3973-Edit-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both the Heritage Black Bay and the Pelagos are signature dive watch collections from Tudor.
