Tudor Black Bay Pro: 32 Days STRAIGHT On The Wrist And Now It’s A Keeper: Owner’s In-Depth Review

Check out my post about the Black Bay Pro on WatchCrunch!

2022 is shaping up to be the year of the GMT given Rolex’s release of the GMT Master II Green Destro, the Seiko 5 SSK GMT, and of course the Tudor Black Bay Pro 79470. The Black Bay Pro piqued my interest when it was released and I knew I had to get it. Now I’ve owned it for nearly 1.5 months and I wore it for a 32 day stretch which is something that has never happened before. So what was it about the BB Pro that made it a watch that broke wrist time records? Comfort was one of the biggest reasons and this despite the incessant talk of it being too thick.

So in this video I get into what it was about the the BB Pro that got me to wear it for 32 days straight, why it wears far better than the 41mm Pepsi Black Bay GMT, and finally some things that I love about the watch and don’t love so much about the watch. In the end, I couldn’t be happier about the BB Pro

(some background) Watches And Wonders is back for 2022 and it has provided us with some great surprises from Tudor, Rolex, Grand Seiko, Oris, and many more brands from the Richemont Group and beyond. However, the release that caught my eye the most was the all new Tudor Black Bay Pro. Every year after the release of the 41mm Black Bay GMT, we've been hoping for a newer smaller GMT from Tudor, and given that this year is Tudor's 10th anniversary, we were thinking that surely 2022 is the year it'll happen. We were all expecting and hoping for a Black Bay 58 GMT, but instead we got the 39mm Black Bay Pro, which is heavily influenced by the Rolex Explorer II 1655 Freccione. This was not at all expected but I am excited about this release because it is right up my alley considering how much I love the original Rolex Explorer II.
