Swiss watchmaker Tudor has expanded upon its Black Bay 54 series with a brand-new 'Lagoon Blue' edition. It runs on the same high-performance specs as its worthy precursors but conjures more of a relaxing essence by design. Whilst built to withstand deep dives, this one may have you sticking to the sandy shores instead. And if you don't have the time for a getaway, gaze into the stunning blue dial and let the piece work its transportative powers on your mind.
Tudor wants you to think of its latest Black Bay 54 as a summer vacation in wristwear form, complete with a weekend-ready power reserve of up to 70 hours. It runs on the same COSC-certified movement that carries the range, but injects all kinds of exotic flourish, most notably the sand-textured 'Lagoon Blue' dial with signature 'Snowflake' hands. The colour pops, to say the least, and instantly makes good on the visual motif of sea, sun, and relaxation.

Indeed, all it takes is one look at the Black Bay 54 'Lagoon Blue' to pick up on Tudor's sun-soaked intentions. In addition to the transfixing dial colour, the watch features a mirror-polished bezel to reflect the crisp blue skies on a perfect beach day.
Under night-time conditions, Grade A Swiss SuperLumiNova brings the hands and markers to life with brilliant luminescence. Sealing the deal is a five-link bracelet with polished centre links, all of it likewise inspired by sunlight, sea, and endless horizons.
As part of the Black Bay 54 family, 'Lagoon Blue' measures a compact 37mm in diameter and runs on Manufacture Calibre MT5400 with a silicon balance spring. It's also water resistant to 200 metres, should you decide to take one for a plunge.

The series at large reimagines the brand's very first dive watch from 1954 through a contemporary lens, drawing a direct line to the past without coming off as overly retro. On the strength of the exemplary dial colour alone, there's no mistaking this watch for anything but a modern creation.
Tudor's Black Bay 54 'Lagoon Blue' heeds multiple calls at once, making us instant fans. Every bit as accurate and durable as its sporty brethren, the piece visually imparts a beach-friendly vibe. At the same time, it draws upon a lineage of historic dive watches, with the performance to match. From the eye-popping details to the reflective materials, this one whisks you away to the nearest shoreline, but leaves adventure on the table for good measure. It's available now at a suggested retail price of AUD$6,300.

Channel 10's Perth to east coast move ‘tip of the iceberg' warns expert Rob McKnight
Plans to move some off-air roles at Channel 10's Perth newsroom to the east coast are 'the tip of the iceberg' and will ultimately mean less local coverage, leading TV commentator and experienced producer Rob McKnight has warned. Mr McKnight, co-creator of industry news website TV Blackbox, said although viewers may not immediately notice the difference, it would have an effect on local stories. He also suggested further consolidation by the network's foreign owner Paramount was likely, after plans to move editors in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane to Melbourne and Sydney were revealed this week. 'An editor in Sydney or Melbourne is just not going to give a local Perth story the kind of energy they give to a story in their own market,' he said. The West Australian understands that Perth's Channel 10 newsroom was told on Monday that as many as four editor roles would be moved to Sydney and Melbourne by the end of the month. Similar roles in Adelaide and Brisbane have also been affected. It is understood about 10 staff will be offered redeployment to the Eastern States. Channel 10 declined to comment or answer questions, including whether it could commit to having a locally-presented news bulletin. In an email from Paramount's vice president of news Martin White, staff were told of a change to editing workflow to ensure 'greater efficiency' at a challenging time for the media industry. 'No local news gathering, journalism or presentation is impacted by this move in any way,' he said. 'A small number of (operations) roles will be redeployed to Sydney and Melbourne, and those impacted have already been spoken to.' Mr McKnight, a former executive producer of Channel 10's now defunct breakfast panel show, Studio 10, said he thought the changes would be the 'tip of the iceberg' at Channel 10, which recently axed news program The Project. 'I think we are going to see centralisation of Channel 10 continue,' he said. 'You start with editors, then it's graphics, then 'oh we can have our producers in Sydney or Melbourne.' 'You will end up with people in Melbourne or Sydney having a very big say on a story from Perth.' He said there was a big difference in having a local story produced and edited locally. A lack of local knowledge could lead to 'silly mistakes.' It is not the first time Channel 10 has faced questions about its commitment to news in Perth. In 2000 it moved the studio production of the local bulletin to Sydney, before ultimately returning its weekday bulletin to Perth three years later. In September 2020, the Perth bulletin production was again transferred to Sydney, leading to redundancies among local staff. Narelda Jacobs, pictured, started in Perth and moved to Sydney in 2020 to co-host Studio 10 present News from the east coast. Jacobs now presents the national lunchtime and afternoon news bulletins.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov reveals plans to pass down multi-billion-dollar fortune to 100-plus kids
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of messaging app Telegram has revealed who will inherit his multi-billion-dollar fortune. Mr Durov recently drafted his will, making provision for over 100 children — but they won't get a cent for another 30 years, he revealed in an interview with French magazine Le Point . The app founder is worth $13.9 billion (AUD$21.4b), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. 'I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account,' he told the publication. Mr Durov, 40, added that he has six children who were conceived naturally with three different partners, along with at least another 100 children he has fathered through sperm donations. 'The clinic, where I started donating sperm 15 years ago to help a friend, told me that more than 100 babies had been conceived this way in 12 countries,' he said. Given his current net worth and an estimated 106 children, each child would stand to inherit approximately $131 million. 'I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: there are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,' he told the publication. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death.' Mr Durov is not the only tech billionaire to have fathered a surprising number of children. Tesla founder and billionaire, Elon Musk, is also an enthusiastic advocate of spreading his genes, welcoming 14 children with four different women since 2002. Over the years, he has been vocal about his desire to have more children to increase the birth rate. In 2021, he claimed that there are 'not enough people' in the world, expressing concern for civilisation if people don't have large families. 'I think one of the biggest risks to civilisation is the low birth rate,' the Tesla CEO said at an event hosted by the Wall Street Journal. 'Please look at the numbers. If people don't have more children, civilisation is going to crumble, mark my words.' It is not yet known how Musk will divide his fortune.
