The real "COKE circle" was originally handed over to Tudor!

Before this year's watch show, the most anticipated new product among players was undoubtedly the Rolex GMT red and black dual color circle (COKE circle) that made a comeback. The reason for such expectations is not due to a lack of background, but rather a speculation made based on a previously exposed patent document on manufacturing multi-color ceramics. But as a result, Rolex seems to have released a smoke bomb, disappointing many people's expectations. Although Rolex did not launch the COKE circle, this color scheme appeared in the new Tudor watch product, which can be considered as a different form of appearance.

As a brother brand of Rolex, Tudro always plays the role of being the first to take the lead - many new processes and technologies, including carbon composite materials, are implemented by Tudro first. Following the red and blue "Pepsi Circle" Tudor Blue Bay Greenwich model from 2018, this year's new model has introduced the rumored "COKE Circle", paired with a gold scale and time mark. This combination of "retro+luxury" is eye-catching.

The METAS certification is based on the official Swiss Observatory (COSC) certification and is more stringent than the COSC standard. METAS certification allows for a daily error of 0 to+5 seconds, which is higher than the -4/+6 standard of COSC certification, and also requires the watch to remain accurate even when exposed to a magnetic field environment of 15000 Gauss.

In terms of material, this product uses a 316L stainless steel case. Like all previous works of the Black Bay 1958 model, the lettering is still made of anodized aluminum oxide material. Although the reliability of this material has withstood the test of time, it still appears somewhat outdated as ceramic word circles gradually become mainstream. However, from another perspective, the characteristics of being lightweight and not easily broken are also not possessed by ceramics, and anodized aluminum oxide circles have a wider range of color choices. Tudor has once again completed what Rolex did not achieve.
