THE PROTOTYPE


TUDOR


BL ACK BAY P01


In the late 1960s,
Tudor proposed a
new dive watch for
the U.S. Navy—a
project ultimately
shelved and
consigned to the

archives. Fifty years
later, Tudor has re-
leased the watch that
had become a subject
of horological lore. ( 2 )
With its unique bezel
locking system and
oversize lugs, it’s a
bold departure in de-
sign from the rest of
the Black Bay line and

certainly stands out in
a crowd of Submari-
ners and Seamasters.
One for the daring.
PRICE: $4,200

THE EASY RIDER
BREITLING NORTON
CHRONOGRAPH
Breitling has long

been associated
with British luxury
carmaker Bentley,
but a more recent
partnership with
legendary motor-
cycling brand Norton
has produced this
elegant chrono-
graph. ( 3 ) Its visually
balanced black dial,

with white sub-dials
and gold numerals,
pairs perfectly with
the rugged leather
strap. Ride on.
PRICE: $8,500

THE AVIATOR
TAG HEUER
AUTAVIA
ISOGRAPH
Autavia—a
portmanteau of
“automotive” and
“aviation”—tells you
exactly what this
watch is about. The
Isograph ( 4 ) is built
with TAG’s latest
technologies but
with a styling nod to
pilots’ watches of the
past. With a titanium
case, ceramic bezel,
a magnetic carbon
hairspring, and
water resistance to
100 meters’ depth,
it’s a go-anywhere
adventure watch.
PRICE: $3,600

THE TIME- ZONE HOPPER
ROLEX
GMT-MASTER II
In 2018, Rolex took
Baselworld by storm
when it debuted a
stainless steel GMT-
Master with a red-
and-blue ceramic
bezel on a jubilee
bracelet. This year it
gave the same treat-
ment to its blue-
and-black-dialed
variant ( 5 )—nick-
named “Batman” by
fans. With the ability
to track three time
zones at once, it’s
the perfect piece for
the frequent flier.
PRICE: $9,250
