Tudor just released another brand new watch in 2021...no it's not made of sterling silver...not 18k gold either...BUT it is made out of ceramic! However, 5 years ago Tudor released this...the Black Bay Dark. Possibly the catalyst to the new ceramic. So! Is the new watch worth picking up? What is a METAS certification anyways? Is it better than being a chronometer? What if you have a 14,999 gauss magnet near you at all times?

Today, we dive into the new Tudor Black Bay Ceramic, and see how it compares to the Black Bay Dark that preceded it by 5 years.
In 2016, Tudor launched the Black Bay Dark, an all blacked out PVD coated version of their classic Black Bay that marked a ton of firsts for the brand. While not the first Black Bay to be offered in some kind of alternative material or finish (that would be the Black Bay Bronze about a year earlier), it was the first to feature the brand's then-new in-house movement. It was also the first watch from any of the major Swiss houses to really embrace in a mainstream way the idea of that kind of murdered out aesthetic. It was popular, if not slightly divisive, at the time, and has only grown more so since then.
Fast forward to 2021, and we have Tudor's newest release, a watch that, interestingly, was launched after the brand's 2021 novelties had already been announced. But this is the year of Tudor playing with materials, so it only makes sense they would roll out the Black Bay Ceramic. First, let's talk about the movement. Tudor has chosen to step up their game here by introducing a new caliber that has been METAS certified as a Master Chronometer, meaning it must be even more accurate than a traditional Chronometer. They've also ensured the movement is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15'000 gauss. And of course, we have the black ceramic case and bezel (has Tudor done a ceramic bezel before? I don't think so). All in all, for just under $5k, you'd be hard pressed to find a much more technically impressive watch for the money, and it really goes to show Tudor's commitment to value.
