Ticking Time: Tudor Launches New Heritage Black Bay at Baselworld 2017

Fresh out of Baselworld 2017,  your new favorite watch is here: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay is now available in a sturdy all-steel iteration — watch lovers, rejoice and be on the lookout for this handsome, essential and seriously stylish timepiece.

It’s tough to understate the need for every guy to own a versatile, durable stainless steel watch — and certainly, Tudor agrees. The newest version of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay inserts the bezel in brushed steel and adds a date function to the lauded Black Bay model for the first time. The rotating bezel, meanwhile, uses satin brushing for a sleek matte effect. What does this mean for us everyday watch wearers? It means you get a superb combination of durability, quality and stunning good looks.

Another handy touch? The 70-hour power reserve — AKA, more than enough time to wear this stellar watch all weekend without any worries about losing track of time.Whether that means you’re dressing for spring travel or merely looking for a durable, handsome and versatile watch to wear on a spring bar crawl, the new Tudor Heritage Black Bay has you covered.

And if you’re not sold on the stainless steel bracelet, the timepiece also comes with khaki green fabric strap, a hallmark of the Tudor line — so, you’re getting two incredibly good-looking watches for the price of one. Be sure not to sleep on the aged black leather strap option, either. Know that the NATO strap option works everywhere from the bar to the office on a casual Friday, while the aged leather strap iteration makes for a watch that’s a walking heirloom of sorts — it’s that special.

Crucially, you’re also getting a healthy dose of the brand’s lauded heritage — from watches worn by the French navy to present-day adventurers and globetrotters, the Heritage Black Bay is worth applauding. The brand says that the update is an “emblematic model celebrating 60 years of Tudor divers’ watches,” with a focus on both understated style and functionality — plus form, of course. Given the company’s penchant for creating handsome timepieces that last and last, it’s very likely you’ll still have this watch in another 60 years.

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular
International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out
Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign
Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time
Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."
