Few modern luxury watches have managed to strike the balance between timeless design and contemporary functionality quite like the Tudor GMT. In New Delhi, the journey to discovering this icon begins at Cooke & Kelvey, a heritage store in Janpath with a legacy dating back to the colonial era. Trusted by connoisseurs of fine watchmaking for generations, Cooke & Kelvey provides the perfect space to explore the Tudor GMT collection in all its variations.
Black Bay Collection
Black Bay watches are celebrated for their dual-time complication, robust build, and unmistakable design codes that echo Tudor’s adventurous spirit. In addition to being a watch, it is a professional traveller’s tool, a tribute to heritage design, and a modern luxury accessory with undeniable personality. While the GMT function makes it the quintessential traveller’s watch, what makes the collection a hot favourite is the diversity in straps, bracelets, and finishes.
Tudor GMT watches: Strap it in style
Tudor’s GMT watches are available in three strap types: fabric, metal, and leather. Within these, the brand offers variations in stainless steel, two-tone steel and gold, and sleek silver finishes. Here is a closer look at each.
Fabric Strap GMTs: Fabric straps go back to Tudor’s military-inspired heritage. Woven on traditional Jacquard looms, these straps are lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly stylish.
The Black Bay GMT in stainless steel on a striped fabric strap has become an icon for travellers. Its red-and-blue “Pepsi” bezel not only aids in differentiating day from night but also adds a pop of colour against the matte fabric strap. The stainless-steel case ensures durability, while the fabric’s textured finish emphasises versatility, making it equally suitable for an outdoor trek or a casual day out.
Meanwhile, the two-tone GMT with a fabric strap offers a clever juxtaposition. The warm yellow-gold accents on the bezel and crown contrast beautifully against the understated fabric. This pairing is especially popular with collectors who want a watch that bridges the gap between daily wear and occasional celebration.
Metal Bracelet GMTs: When it comes to sheer versatility, nothing rivals the elegance of a metal bracelet. Tudor offers its GMTs with robust stainless-steel bracelets and striking two-tone versions, each giving the watch a different personality.
The stainless-steel bracelet GMT’s brushed surfaces lend a rugged, industrial appeal, while the polished accents ensure there’s no dimming in sophistication. Its silver-toned finish is particularly admired by purists who prefer understated elegance without sacrificing function.
Equally captivating is the steel and gold “S&G” GMT on a metal bracelet. Here, Tudor leans into a retro-inspired aesthetic, combining brushed steel links with polished yellow gold centre links. The black-and-burgundy bezel adds to the vintage character, evoking memories of classic two-tone watches from the 1970s and ’80s. The S&G GMT is bold, unapologetically luxurious, and is meant for those who enjoy standing out.
Leather Strap GMTs: Leather brings an element of old-world refinement to Tudor’s Black Bay GMT range. The supple leather straps that not only enhance comfort but also transform the watch into a more formal companion.
The stainless-steel GMT on a brown leather strap carries undeniable vintage appeal. The distressed finish of the strap pairs beautifully with the Pepsi bezel. This option resonates deeply with enthusiasts who appreciate Tudor’s ability to weave nostalgia into modern watchmaking.
On the other end of the spectrum lies the two-tone GMT with a black leather strap, which emphasises the watch’s dressy character. The gold highlights on the bezel and crown find a subtle echo in the leather’s polished elegance, making this variant ideal for business meetings, evening occasions, or collectors who want a travel watch that transitions seamlessly from a formal meeting to a date night.

What Makes the Tudor GMT Special?
Beyond the aesthetic differences, all Tudor GMT watches share certain traits that define their identity. At the heart lies the Manufacture Caliber MT5652, a COSC-certified movement with a “true GMT” function, meaning the local hour hand can be adjusted independently without stopping the watch. With a 70-hour power reserve and robust construction, it’s designed for precision and reliability under all conditions.
The watches are also distinguished by their 41 mm stainless steel cases, domed sapphire crystals, and 200-metre water resistance, making them capable companions whether you are crossing time zones or exploring the outdoors. The rotating 24-hour bezel, offered in striking red-blue (“Pepsi”) or black-burgundy combinations, ensures the dual-time functionality is as practical as it is stylish.
Each strap, each finish, and each design choice is not merely about aesthetics but about expanding the narrative of what a Tudor Black Bay GMT can be.
