For its first participation in the Only Watch biennial auction, Tudor indulges in its favorite style exercise. It embodies an art in which the brand with the red shield excels: successfully orchestrating the temporal collision of aesthetic codes from the past, present and future. Tudor was indeed notably awarded the Revival Prize at the 2013 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. In this instance, reference 7923 from the 1950s, produced in small quantities and much sought-after by collectors, is the only Tudor divers’ watch to feature baton-type hands. Its 2015 reincarnation as a one-of-a-kind model for Only Watch subtly differs from the original while featuring the same historical layout. The Heritage Black Bay One is enhanced with red accents on the bezel at 12 o’clock and in the two lines of text specifying the guaranteed immersion depth. The case size is more contemporary, the movement is now self-winding, and the crown with its engraved rose features a black anodized aluminum tube. Aficionados will be reassured to learn that, in parallel with this first one-off piece in Tudor’s history, the brand launched on October 15^th (GMT’s 15^th birthday !) its Heritage Black Bay in a non-limited black version (see 4×4 article on page 32).
