Classical Elegance – Why The Tudor Style 41mm With Fluted Bezel Should Be Considered?
In the world of watches, there’s a certain way of categorizing, and this usually refers to two main types of timepieces: sports watches and dress watches. Well, it is kind of short-sighted to split this way. There’s another category that sits right in the middle, which is often forgotten by watch journalists (us included), however watches that represent an impressive part of the sales: the all-rounder watch, the casual pieces which can be worn in every situation. And in that category, Tudor introduced a watch this year that will perfectly do the job, and even more than that: the Tudor Style 41mm With Fluted Bezel.
The Nine Reviews You Loved Most in 2016 On Monochrome-Watches
Like we always say, Reviews are crucial for us, at Monochrome-Watches – and for two main reasons. First of all, in order to bring you the best possible stories and the most objective opinions, we need to have some proper wrist-time with the watches. It’s no debate here: wearing the watch and experiencing it for a while, as if we were owning it, is mandatory. It is our editorial philosophy. Second, as watch journalist, we believe that our reviews will influence your choices and for that reason, we think that you also need these reviews to make the most informed purchases. This is why, to close 2016, instead of showing you our most read stories, we’d like to show you the nine reviews you loved most this year on Monochrome-Watches (based on page-views and reactions).

Up Close with the Tudor Pelagos LHD

Size Does Not Always Matter. Up-close and Personal With The Tudor Heritage Black Bay 36
I must admit that, when the Tudor Heritage Black Bay 36 Ref. 79500 was introduced at Baselworld 2016, I was quite indifferent towards it. My mind was tuned towards and only in favor of all the other Black Bay’s, the black, the total black and the bronze. These I said to myself were proper watches, bold, and greatly executed. The 36mm was overall a watch I could not understand. However, when I finally strap it on my wrist for some days, in order to write this review, I started to realize that it probably conformed with that famous motto from the great F. A. Porsche: “A formally harmonious product needs no decoration, it should be elevated through pure form.” So I started to completely change my attitude towards it. This watch has something special and we will find out in our review of the Black Bay 36.
