Introducing the latest addition to the Tudor GMT family by ZF: the ‘Sars Circle’ watch. With its distinguished, more subdued color palette, this model exudes a vintage charisma. The watch, model number M79833MN-0001, is crafted in a two-tone material, offering a luxurious yet discreet option for those who appreciate opulence without overstatement. The gold screw-down crown features the iconic Tudor embossed rose emblem, providing high recognition.
A standout feature of this watch is its dual-color rotating bezel. The anodized aluminum bezel is filled with gold numerals atop a brown base that represents the daytime 12 hours, while the black background signifies night hours. This captivating black and brown pairing resembles the colors of sarsaparilla soda, endearingly dubbed the ‘Sars Circle’ by enthusiasts, bringing a dash of whimsy to the design.
The watch’s 41mm diameter allows the wearer to track three time zones. The slender hand indicates home time, completing a circuit around the dial every 24 hours; the shorter ‘snowflake’ hand is used to denote local time with an independent adjustment feature; the third timezone is displayed through the bi-directional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale, along with the ’24-hour’ hand. This feature is clear and easy to read.
Equipped with a gold steel bracelet inspired by the folded riveted bracelets manufactured during the 1950s and 1960s, the link sections are connected by rivet heads, showcasing a unique stepped structure and expert craftsmanship. While the new ZF Tudor Black Bay GMT watch maintains the same functionality as previous models, changes in color combinations and material choices highlight ZF Factory’s exceptional technical expertise and aesthetic vision.
