When Tudor introduced the black bay black bezel in October, I was certain that was going to be my next watch. I figured it would be a great weekend watch that I could wind and throw on and a great value. I've wanted a watch with a vintage throwback feel to it for awhile and have gone back and forth on watches like the Tudor Heritage Chrono, the Omega Mark II, and most recently the Black Bay.
About a month ago, my eyes started wandering towards something else: the Chronomat Airborne. I knew if I was going to replace my Govberg LE Chronomat that this was going to be the one, but the question was when that would actually happen. One thing I liked about the Govberg edition was the brushed finish and how it toned everything down. Even with the polished Airborne, the brushed bezel still tones down the bling factor. The Govberg edition also comes with the display back but the Airborne does have a pretty cool caseback as well. The one thing I didn't have in my collection was a chronograph but that's no longer a problem. Enough of my rambling, here are the pics.
