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
