There’s just something about the color black. It’s simple, classic, minimal, can be dressed up or dressed down, and best of all — it goes with just about everything. So we couldn’t tell you how excited we were when we found out that the Swiss watch label Tudor, Rolex’s little brother, in case you didn’t know, is introducing one of its most favorite styles in black. That’s right, the Heritage Black Bay divers’ watch, one of Tudor’s most popular styles —which was first released in 2012 and a winner at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève — is coming out with a black bevel. Previously, it only came in red and blue, which could be an inconvenience if you don’t want to be associated with blue or red.

Previously, there was only one Tudor Heritage Black Bay model in black that was made for the Only Watch charity auction. This release marks the first time that the Tudor Heritage Black Bay model timepiece will be available to the general public in all black. So next time you want to go for a dive, look sharp in a suit, or be cool in jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of Converse, go for the Tudor Heritage Black Bay timepiece. It will keep you on time whether you’re 200 feet deep in the ocean, or running around the streets of a major city in the world.

Tudor Heritage Black Bay Watch, $3,425 on steel bracelet, $3,100 on distressed leather strap; for more information, visit tudorwatch.com.

If the pair were fighting it out in a ring, UFC style, Tudor vs Rolex, who would get knocked out first? They've both got hardcore fans on each side, screaming their names, with each believing their fighter is at the top of their game. Both brands are famous for their long history and just absolutely superb, quality watches, but there are certainly some major differences that set them apart. Let's dive into these differences, and put a Tudor vs Rolex matchup to the test.

Tudor vs Rolex watches: The differences
Tudor and Rolex definitely appear on the same family tree, as Tudor is the sister company of Rolex, established in 1926 by the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf. Tudor was made to offer watches of high quality but with price tags that the average person can actually afford. Being that Rolex is considered a major status symbol, not least because of their exorbitant price tags, it's a smart move for the founder to come up with a brand that is in the same solar system as the brand, even if it's not on the same planet.
