Looking at the current Tudor catalogue in front of me, there are eight different versions of the Heritage Black Bay, and several of those are available on different strap/bracelet combinations. That means a lot of consumer choice, and it seems that every year Tudor adds more to the collection, in addition to offering cosmetic options like new straps. I do hope that the collection doesn’t go overboard with too many models available. I think that the Tudor Heritage Black Bay family is about as full as it ought to be right now, and if Tudor adds more they will need to stop a number of the older models.For 2017, Tudor added both the Heritage Black Bay Steel and also the Black Bay S&G. Apart from being introduced in 2017, what they share in common different from other Black Bay watches is the existence of a date window onto the dial at 3 o’clock. Additional Black Bay watches possess time-only dials without the date. This feature is something that you enjoy, hate, or are totally ambivalent to based on the particular flavor of watch nerd which you’re. I happen to for the most part exist at the latter opinion camp.As I said previously, S&G stands for “gold and steel,” and for any reason, Tudor isn’t calling this a “two-tone” model. When I saw it, I thought that it was a bronze and steel watch, but it’s steel with 18k yellow gold.
