On the occasion of this year’s Rugby World Championship and in honor of its partnership with the Rugby national team of New Zealand the Swiss watch brand TUDOR presents the Black Bay Chronograph in black. The quantities of these limited pieces depend on how many players have been part of the All Blacks ever since their foundation – until today it has been 1181. As soon as new players become part of the team, a new piece will be released.
