Tudor’s willingness to use unstable materials.

- Rolex uses 904L steel and gold—materials that stay perfect. Tudor uses Bronze and 925 Silver materials designed to tarnish and change color (patina) over time.

- The Black Bay 58 925 is one of the only mass-produced sterling silver dive watches in history.
