Although Tudor's red-blue bezel GMT watch is quite popular, there are different opinions about it. For example, some feel that the bezel does not feel as textured as a ceramic bezel; Others find Tudor younger and more energetic. In my opinion, this red-blue bezel is thinner and more elegant than Rolex's ceramic red-blue bezel, its color is more retro, and its appearance is extremely attractive! The diameter of the watch is 41 mm; It fits well on wrists of all sizes. The case is made of stainless steel; Most of it is finished with brushed and polished workmanship, thus reducing the effect of wear on the outer surface on the overall appearance of the watch.

Let's look at the front. The most striking feature of this watch is its red-blue bezel. As everyone knows, this two-tone bezel was for a long time exclusive to Rolex; It is truly unexpected that it now appears in a Tudor clock. This watch is decorated with a red bezel axed hour-minute hand (small red flower) and a blue bezel axed hour-minute hand (small blue flower). The visual and tactile comparison with the Rolex is also an important attraction of the watch. The bezel can rotate bidirectionally; The red and blue cola bezel is made of anodized aluminum. The color and material are exactly the same as the original. The watch glass is dome-shaped sapphire crystal glass and has been coated; The texture is crisp and clear.

Apart from the basic three hands, the Tudor Black Bay red-blue bezel also has a GMT hand that indicates the time between two places. In fact, the time zone markings on the bezel can show three different time zones, which is very useful. There is a classic inverted triangle design at 12 o'clock. Through the sapphire glass, we can see the snowflake hands, which are the symbol of the brand, on the dial; The distinctive red “snowflake” hand rotates around the dial's 24-hour scale and works bidirectionally. A 24-hour scale is engraved on the ring; It makes it easier to read the time in other time zones. This comes in handy on business trips around the world; Thanks to the day-night distinction of red and blue, time reading is more intuitive and practical. The hour, minute and hour hands are coated with lume material; So you can read the time clearly even at night. At 3 o'clock, there is a date window written in black on a white background.

The side thickness of the ZF Factory Tudor Black Bay GMT red-blue cola bezel is 14.6 mm. The stainless steel case is carefully crafted and has a very textured feel. The case is also finished with fine machining and polishing; The stainless steel crown is polished and the rose logo, the symbol of Tudor, is engraved on the crown. As for the case back, the mechanism is better protected by using a closed back design. As the mechanism, the Seagull 2836 based MT5652 caliber was used; Its functions are the same as the original, its timekeeping is accurate and stable.

Now let's look at the bracelet. The stainless steel bracelet is the same as the original; It is carefully processed, its texture is extremely soft and smooth. Each pod is arranged very close to each other and forms a unique crooked structure. With the Tudor-specific stainless steel folding clasp, the watch is easily worn and used comfortably.

Review: The ZF Factory Tudor Black Bay GMT cola bezel attracted the attention of many watch enthusiasts as soon as it was released. The new Tudor has introduced the practical and powerful GMT function, that is, the multi-time zone feature, to the model. In addition to showing the time of your current location, it can also show the time in two different time zones. Beyond being functional, it also features the highly acclaimed two-tone bezel and snowflake GMT hand; The appearance is really attractive. Of course, ZF Factory craftsmanship is admirable; In general, when viewed from the outside, a non-expert can hardly distinguish the real from the replica. Of course, when you open the case back and look at the movement, the difference becomes more obvious.
