Add a high-end dive watch (e.g., Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, ~$5,000) for Diver style depth. 2. Include a luxury dress watch (e.g., Cartier Santos, ~$8,100) for Dress versatility. 3. Enhance rarity with a limited-edition piece (e.g., A. Lange & Söhne 1815, ~$15,700). - **Downsizing Advice**: Remove Christopher Ward Bel Canto Purple Dial—its chiming complication and purple aesthetic contrast with Tudor’s sporty coherence, slightly reducing cohesion. ## Collection Type by Style - Sport/Active: 67% Tudor Heritage Black Bay Pro GMT, Tudor Black Bay Chrono - Travel: 33% Tudor Heritage Black Bay Pro GMT - Collector/Display: 33% Christopher Ward Bel Canto Purple Dial - Casual/Everyday: 33% Tudor Heritage Black Bay Pro GMT ## Collection Type by Movement - Automatic: 100% Tudor Heritage Black Bay Pro GMT, Christopher Ward Bel Canto Purple Dial, Tudor Black Bay Chrono ## Watch by Watch Summary - **1) Tudor Heritage Black Bay Pro GMT M79470-0001 (8.4)** - Price: $4,150 - Brand (8.5), History & Innovation (8.5), Rarity (8.0), Material (8.0), Dials & Design (8.5), Movement (8.5), Complications (8.5), Functions (8.5), Versatility (8.5) - GMT watch with a black dial and steel case, inspired by vintage Rolex Explorer II.[](https://www.beyondthedial.com/post/hands-on-review-tudor-black-bay-gmt-pro-reference-m79470-0002-of-2022/) - **2) Christopher Ward Bel Canto Purple Dial (8.0)** - Price: $3,795 - Brand (8.0), History & Innovation (9.0), Rarity (8.8), Material (8.0), Dials & Design (8.5), Movement (7.8), Complications (6.5), Functions (8.5), Versatility (7.0) - Limited-edition chiming watch with a purple dial and steel case. - **3) Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N-0002 (8.4)** - Price: $4,941 - Brand (8.5), History & Innovation (9.0), Rarity (8.0), Material (8.0), Dials & Design (8.5), Movement (8.5), Complications (8.0), Functions (8.5), Versatility (8.0) - Chronograph with a black dial and steel case, blending dive and racing heritage.[](https://www.fratellowatches.com/hands-on-the-new-tudor-black-bay-chrono-m79360n-both-versions/) --- ### Footnote A.I.
