TUDOR Releases New Black Bay Models at Watches And Wonders 2025
Tuesday - 01 April 2025
Watches & Wonders 2025 has arrived, bringing an exciting new collection of Tudor timepieces. Each release pays homage to the brand’s storied heritage while embracing modern design and cutting-edge craftsmanship. From refined classics to bold new interpretations, these watches are on the tips of everybody's tongue in Geneva.
BLACK BAY CHRONOGRAPH GETS THE PANDA TREATMENT
The classic panda and reverse-panda chronographs from TUDOR’s Black Bay Chrono range have received updates. Now, they are given new bracelets accompanied by TUDOR’s T-Fit clasp for on-the-fly adjustments, making them the new super-handy and super-stylish chronographs to collect this year.
These models showcase the familiar domed sapphire crystal glass front, as well as lashings of Grade A Super-LumiNova on their dial appliques. TUDOR experts choose an opaline dial with black sub-counters for the panda reference and a reverse panda configuration in the opposite shades – a black dial with opaline chronograph counters. Of course, we’re treated to the signature Snowflake hands that TUDOR released in the late 1960s, while the black tachymeter scales on both models are perfect for measuring speed based on distance. Look over to the 3 o’clock position, and that’s where you’ll see the 45-minute counter, while the opposite side is home to a small seconds feature. The date window sits in between both counters, adding balance at the 6 o’clock location.
The new timepieces also come complete with TUDOR’s innovative T-Fit clasp, offering a tool-free micro-adjustment capability.
BLACK BAY PRO STRIPS THINGS BACK WITH A LEGIBLE OPALINE DIAL
The latest addition to TUDOR's line-up of Black Bay Pro timepieces feature an opaline dial, which joins the black dial version that debuted in 2022. Its domed sapphire lens and crisp hour markers give it a stern tool look with improved legibility owed to some very specific features. The brand’s choice of Grade A Super-LumiNova is paired with a black ceramic outline to ensure the hands and hour makers stand out with considerable presence. This combination is not dissimilar to a well-known watch by TUDOR’s sibling brand (you know the one!) and is geared towards those looking for a watch for adventure and exploration.
One of the most appealing features of this new TUDOR Black Bay Pro watch is the yellow GMT hand, designed in the “Snowflake” aesthetic. Aside from these dial details, the watch retains all its usual features – a 39mm stainless steel case adorned with a brushed finish, a 200-meter water resistance and a bezel engraved with a 24-hour scale.
The new TUDOR Black Bay Pro watch is powered by a Manufacture movement, the Calibre MT5652, with a built-in GMT facility which features a date application that aligns with the local time hand.
DRESSED IN RED... TUDOR BLACK BAY BURGUNDY DIALS STUN FANS
Finally, news of TUDOR’s long-awaited Black Bay 58 release for Watches and Wonders 2025 – a new burgundy model with T-Fit clasp and Metas Chronometer-certified movement.
Tudor has recently introduced lively additions to the Black Bay Chrono series, featuring striking flamingo blue and pink dials that captivated all who encountered them. This vibrant spirit hasn't stopped as the brand presented novelties at Watches & Wonders, where Tudor has once again astonished us with a brand new Burgundy dial variant.
The wearability of the timepieces is greatly improved by the introduction of the T-fit rapid adjustment system, which is available across all bracelet styles. Regardless of whether you opt for the new 5-link bracelet, the classic 3-link, or the more minimal rubber strap option, you will benefit from tool-free fine adjustments.
