Story | Connie Li Photography | Tudor
How did David Beckham achieve star status? What took him from a child who could only dream about playing professional soccer to the sport’s icon he ultimately became? Is it fair to say that he was born to dare?
In keeping with Tudor’s spirit of adventure, the watchmaker has launched its Born To Dare campaign. The promotional film features an enthusiastic young dreamer and the man pushing him to outdo himself. Beckham is that child.
Beckham’s story is about a passionate young boy who followed his dreams. With unshakeable determination, this lover of the game defied everyone who scoffed at his ambitions, carving out a career that has continuously inspired each new
generation.
The Tudor signature is #BornToDare. The film centres around the spirit that defines Beckham, and reflects on the history of the brand and what it stands for today.
The Black Bay Chrono model that Beckham wears in the film has made the famous Snowflake hands its own, in a version honed to ensure optimum readability of the information on its domed dial. Available in two versions, the dial includes two hollowed subcounters in contrasting colours: matt black and white opaline.
The recognizable characteristics of the Black Bay are preserved in a steel case with a 41mm diameter, refined by the ingenious cut of the lower part of the sapphire crystal and a repositioned movement. Among its many distinctive technical features, this model is waterproof to 200 metres and comes with a case and bracelet in 316L stainless steel, and a movement manufactured by Tudor and certified by the COSC, boasting a 70-hour power reserve.
