Watches And Wonders is back for 2022 and it has provided us with some great surprises from Tudor, Rolex, Grand Seiko, Oris, and many more brands from the Richemont Group and beyond. However, the release that caught my eye the most was the all new Tudor Black Bay Pro. Every year after the release of the 41mm Black Bay GMT, we've been hoping for a newer smaller GMT from Tudor, and given that this year is Tudor's 10th anniversary, we were thinking that surely 2022 is the year it'll happen. We were all expecting and hoping for a Black Bay 58 GMT, but instead we got the 39mm Black Bay Pro, which is heavily influenced by the Rolex Explorer II 1655 Freccione. This was not at all expected but I am excited about this release because it is right up my alley considering how much I love the original Rolex Explorer II.

So in this video, I’m going to get into the details of the Black Bay Pro and explain why it excites me as much as it does, and then I will get into what is probably the main problem about it. It uses the older GMT movement from the larger Black Bay 41 GMT, the MT5652, which wouldn't have been an issue if the movement wasn’t so thick. As a result, the BBpro comes in a very chunky 14.6mm. This was very worrying for me, and the only way to know how it wears would be to wear it, but in the meantime, I decided to figure out the dimensions of the thickness in more detail so that I could rest easier. So if you want to get the full breakdown of the thickness which includes the crystal/bezel thickness, the midcase thickness, and the caseback thickness, go ahead and check out the video!
