Tudor Black Bay 1655 Clean Factory Review

Tudor Black Bay 1655 model is produced by Clean Factory with a solid stainless steel case, 39 mm diameter and ETA 2824-2 caliber in accordance with Swiss norms architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

First of all, it's a vintage-style Tudor watch, but it doesn't have any features of its own; It looks entirely like a homage to the Rolex Explorer 1655. Since I wrote this blog, many people have asked me about vintage Rolex replica watches. This Tudor Black Bay replica looks like a vintage Rolex Explorer but I don't think they'll like it. I think what they really like is still a good quality genuine Rolex Explorer 1655 replica watch, not a Tudor homage. If Z factory can make a vintage Rolex 1655 Explorer replica, it would be one of the most remarkable works of 2023.

Case and Body Workmanship

The new replica Tudor Black Bay has a genuine GMT function, which is shown together with the light yellow hour hand on the dial and the 24-hour bezel; The GMT hour hand can be adjusted with the crown. There are four points in the replica that make it a good vintage watch: first, the case and bracelet use brushed workmanship; second, the hour markers are all frameless lume material; third, the style of the bracelet; fourth, the shield logo on the buckle. The workmanship of the replica watch is good, after all, it was made by the Z factory; The brushing on the case and bracelet is elegant and contrasts with the glossy polish on the side of the case. The 39 mm case diameter makes the watch suitable for most men's wrists.

Dial and Hand Details

The bezel cannot be rotated; The 24-hour markers are engraved with black fill and each digit is aligned with the hour marker on the dial. The yellow GMT hour hand on the black dial easily catches your eye; The Super-LumiNova white and lume light on the hour markers and hour and minute hands are very strong, but do not last as long as those on the original watch. I like the design of the hour markers; They don't have a steel frame, which is a different design than the regular Tudor Black Bay. There is a date window at 3 o'clock; It stands out with its black date font on a background of the same color as the lume material used in the hour markers.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The replica has a bracelet with a 5-stage T-fit quick-adjustment clasp, just like the original; It allows 8 mm of adjustment and is very easy to use. Meanwhile, the watch clone is equipped with an ETA 2836 automatic movement; Currently Z factory does not offer extra straps for this replica.
