Ceramic tools retain their hardness at the high temperatures associated with milling heat-resistant super alloys (HRSAs). As a result, 20 to 30 times the speed can be achieved compared to solid carbide tools. With the new, bigger head diameter available from D16-25 mm, it will be possible to reach these high cutting speeds with conventional machining centers (n = 10000-18000 rpm).

Sandvik Coromant has introduced the CoroMill 316, a new ceramic grade exchangeable milling system designed for milling nickel-based alloys. The brazed-ceramic milling head offers a more productive method for roughing in ISO S materials than standard carbide milling cutters, according to the company.

Highlighted by a Red Bull-racing inspired blue domed dial — PVD-treated applied indices, and matching hands (hour, minute, and center second), contrast the bright blue hue of the clutter-free no-date dial. A unidirectional rotatable 60-minute bezel in black PVD-treated 316L steel with a 60-minute graduated black ceramic insert with a sunburst satin finish and engraved markings and numerals complete the stealthy look.

In line with the innovative technology used in Formula One racing, Tudor’s cutting-edge automatic bidirectional winding caliber MT5602-1U is not just COSC-certified, it’s also fully Metas certified as a Master Chronometer and is adjusted to a rate of -2/+4 after being cased up. The 25-jewel, 31.8 mm x 6.5 mm movement beats at 4Hz, has stop seconds for precision time setting, a non-magnetic silicon balance spring, and a variable inertia balance. In addition, the certification also guarantees the timekeeping accuracy of a watch subjected to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss, the 200-meter water resistance rating claimed by the manufacturer, and the 70-hour power reserve.

Tudor created a special ceramic version of the Black Bay — in partnership with the Formula One Visa Cash App Red Bull racing team.

Though created for a racing team, this is still a dive watch through and through, and in addition to the dive bezel the Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” features a 200-meter depth rating, a screw-down winding crown in black-PVD-treated 316L steel, a box-type domed sapphire crystal on the front, and a screw-in open caseback in black-PVD-treated 316L steel with a sapphire crystal.
