Driven by a powerful manufacture movement, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono is a worthy new addition to the Tudor range.

Omega - Speedmaster DayDate
The Omega Speedmaster also known as the legendary ‘moonwatch’. It is best known for its work with NASA as the officially sanctioned chronograph for use in space, and as the first watch to be worn on the Moon. This makes a rather special and historical piece. The watch features a great movement and a relatively low price point with great detailing. It does appear to look like a much more expensive watch and looks impressive on your wrist.
