Introducing The Tudor Black Bay Chrono ‘Blue’ Boutique Edition

Tudor sparked some newness last week with the Black Bay Chrono “Blue,” an exclusive boutique edition. This model features a striking “Tudor Blue” dial that adds a distinctive touch to the already daring Black Bay Chrono design, celebrating Tudor’s long-standing affinity with motorsports and professional diving.

Since the debut of the Oysterdate in 1970, Tudor has been renowned for creating watches deeply connected to the world of motorsport. The Black Bay Chrono “Blue” reflects this legacy by combining the technical prowess of Tudor’s chronographs with the robust characteristics of its divers’ watches. It is powered by the high-performance Manufacture Caliber MT5813, featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch, and is COSC-certified for exceptional accuracy.

The Black Bay Chrono “Blue” draws inspiration from iconic models like the blue “Snowflake” Submariner and the “Montecarlo” Oysterdate Chronograph, both symbolic of Tudor’s 1970s catalog. This new edition perpetuates the tradition of “Tudor Blue,” a signature color constant in the brand’s design repertoire.

The Black Bay Chrono “Blue” boasts a 41mm satin-brushed and polished stainless steel case with a fixed bezel and a blue anodized aluminum tachymetric scale, exuding a sleek and robust appearance. Its domed blue satin sun-brushed dial is complemented by silver sub-counters and the iconic “Snowflake” hands, a signature element of TUDOR divers’ watches since 1969, enhanced with Grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminescent material for excellent readability. Powered by the Manufacture Chronograph Caliber MT5813, this timepiece offers a 70-hour power reserve, a silicon balance spring, column wheel construction, and a vertical clutch. It is certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) for exceptional accuracy.

The watch is completed with a 5-link stainless steel bracelet featuring the Tudor “T-fit” rapid adjustment clasp for a perfect, comfortable fit. This exclusive model is available only at Tudor boutiques worldwide, making it a unique addition to any collection.

With over five decades of premium chronograph expertise, Tudor’s latest creation remains faithful to the spirit of innovation and robustness that defines the signature Black Bay line.
