From SwissWatchExpo… Spotlight on: the Tudor Watches of David Beckham.
---
One of the world’s best known football players, David Beckham
retired from the sport in 2013, after a fruitful two-decade career.
Post retirement, David remained on the scene as an entrepreneur
and cultural icon. Aside from being co-owner of football teams Inter Miami CF and Salford City,
he remains a formidable endorser of many brands including Tudor.
As its first ambassador, David inspires people to push boundaries and reinvent themselves.
We went watch spotting, and saw David wearing Tudor watches in action.

One of David’s choice Tudor watches is the Black Bay Chrono S&G, which he wore to the Wimbledon.
Striking a balance between classic aesthetics and contemporary watchmaking codes,
this watch was introduced in 2019 as the brand’s first two-tone chronograph.
As its name suggests, the Black Bay Chrono S&G features a striking steel and gold construction.
The matte black dial makes the gold minute track, and gold chronograph subdials pop,
while the lume-filled indices and hands provide optimum readability.
Inside beats a COSC-certified automatic movement with a 70-hour power reserve.

David also adores the Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue,
launched in 2020 as an ode to the early Tudor dive watches from the 1960s.
Rather than sporting black accents, this tool watch boasts a silver and navy-blue
colorway, while remaining faithful to the distinguishing elements of the Black Bay.
These include the domed crystal, the simple aluminum bezel insert,
and the vintage-inspired dial that make the watch an absolute all-rounder.
Aside from offering 200-meter water resistance, this model is recognized for having an accessible
crown without guards, and a compact size that wears well on all types of wrists.

David has a certain fondness for the Tudor Black Bay Panda. He wears this
edgy yet charming watch just about anywhere – from sporting events to campaign photoshoots.
One of the latest releases of the brand, this watch is wearable in every way.
David’s choice model features classic chronograph details – like a slim case,
a legible tachymeter bezel, and luminous hands and indices with
silver surrounds – while housing a silicon hairspring-equipped movement at its core.
The highly-legible reverse panda dial looks cool with David’s casual and formal ensembles,
while the combination of polished and satin finishes give the watch a handsome appeal.

On his days off, David can be spotted with the Tudor Black Bay P01,
specifically made for the U.S. Navy’s Commando program.
Its original design – which features a locking bezel system – was shelved
by the US Navy, only to be brought back in 2019.
It had the same utilitarian look and an end-link at 12 o’clock that aids in watch maintenance.
Equipped with an in-house automatic movement, the watch also comes with
a 200m water resistance and a jet-black dial with luminescent hands and indices.

David makes a strong statement with his Tudor Heritage Chrono. Introduced in 2013,
it is an ode to the crowd-favorite Tudor "Monte Carlo" chronograph from the 1970s.
As a contemporary timepiece, this model features an increased
size of 42 millimeters and an opaline dial with three-dimensional hour markers.
It also has pleasing blue and orange accents that provide a youthful touch.

David has an obvious penchant for sporty chronographs,
but he also made space for a famous Tudor diver: the Pelagos.
It has earned a reputation for being the brand’s most water-resistant
and functional tool watch to date.
This Pelagos comes in a 42 millimeter titanium case and bracelet,
with a complementing royal blue dial and white luminescent markers.
Boasting a 500-meter depth rating and a helium escape valve,
the watch is perfect for David’s underwater explorations.
---
No Tudor collection would be complete without the Tudor Submariner.
David’s choice is a vintage model that always steals attention: the Snowflake.
Launched in 1969, it comes with a faded blue bezel, a matching dial with large golden hour
markers, and a magnified date window at 3 o’clock. It reminds one of the Submariner
from Tudor’s sister company, Rolex, but with the peculiar snowflake hand.
