Limited Edition of 1,181 Pieces for the Rugby World Cup 2019
To celebrate the All Blacks legacy and mark the Rugby World Cup 2019 (RWC) as the team will defend its back-to-back champions title, Tudor is launching the Black Bay Chrono Dark model, a new black version matching the All Blacks’ famous jersey of its chronograph, fitted with a Manufacture Calibre with column wheel and vertical clutch.
Unusually for TUDOR, the new model is a limited edition: a watch to pay tribute to every player who has been selected for New Zealand’s national rugby team from its creation in 1884 to the RWC 2019, or 1,181 timepieces at the time of writing.
The number will be adjusted according to the final composition of the World Cup team. The series will grow over the coming years as new players join the ranks of the All Blacks.
