BLACK BAY 58
The Black Bay 58 has earned a reputation as an enthusiast’s favourite, and now the watch is getting the Master Chronometer treatment. For the first time, the new all-burgundy Black Bay 58 also comes on a 5-link bracelet with T-fit, too.
The Black Bay 58 is named after the year in which the first TUDOR divers’ watch waterproof to 200 metres, the reference 7924, dubbed the “Big Crown”, was introduced. Among other aesthetic allusions to this famous historic watch, this model has a 39mm diameter case, in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. This new edition of the Black Bay 58 retains all the core design elements from TUDOR throughout the ages and includes aesthetic notes from a prototype TUDOR Submariner ref. 79190 developed in the ‘90s. The watch boasted a brilliant burgundy dial with a matching bezel. It never saw production, but this design now lives on in the form of a brand-new Black Bay 58. On top of the new design, the new Black Bay 58 gets the Master Chronometer certification, one of the industry's most demanding standards in terms of chronometry and resistance to magnetic fields. Each fully assembled watch is tested in Switzerland by the Federal Institute of Metrology or METAS. To tie the whole package together, the new Black Bay 58 is now available on a 5-link bracelet, a 3-link bracelet, or a rubber strap. All three have TUDOR’s rapid adjustment system known as T-fit, making the watch more wearable than ever before.
PELAGOS ULTRA
Engineered specifically to overcome the challenges associated with saturation diving, this is the most technically capable Pelagos ever made, with 1,000 metres of water resistance, a proprietary bracelet adjustment system, and a 43mm titanium case. It represents a giant stride in technical advancements with a Master Chronometer Certification from METAS. Meet the Pelagos Ultra, ready to reach new depths.
TUDOR took a standard Pelagos, already one of the most capable divers’ watches out there, and asked the simple question: What criteria would it need to meet for deep sea exploration? What would allow it to stand up to the technical challenges of operating in the twilight zone from 200 metres to 1,000 metres? The answer is the Pelagos Ultra. Its titanium case has grown to 43mm to meet a staggering depth rating of 1,000 metres. Luminescence has been thought through to increase visibility with two different colours: blue and green. The bracelet has also been completely redesigned with this deep-diving brief in mind. TUDOR knows most people who wear this watch will never operate at 1,000 metres beneath the sea—but that’s not the point of it. This watch is an exercise in extremes, an idea born from “what if?”. It’s the product of designing without limits. Because if it could withstand the rigours at a depth of 1,000 metres, surely it could withstand, well, just about anything.
The Pelagos Ultra model joins the TUDOR family of technical divers' watches with a range-topping 1,000 metres of water resistance. While the Pelagos, Pelagos LHD and Pelagos FXD models perpetuate a purely technical aquatic heritage, the Pelagos Ultra dials it up to an 11, offering functions specific to highly specialized and relatively niche professional deep sea dives.
BLACK BAY 68
TUDOR introduces an entirely new Black Bay model in 43mm, meeting the demand for various case sizes to fit all types of wrists. With two new colour configurations, the Black Bay 68 means business. The big deal isn’t just a brand new case size, but that the Black Bay 68 is Master Chronometer certified by METAS, too!
TUDOR isn’t afraid to go against the grain—it’s been in the brand’s DNA since the very beginning. Everyone knows the “trend” in modern watchmaking is to go smaller. But this time it’s all about thinking big, and that means producing a larger Black Bay to round out the full array of case sizes for every wrist size. Now, with the Black Bay 68, there’s a Black Bay for everyone.
1968 is the year TUDOR dreamed up what’s now become its aesthetic calling card: the emblematic Snowflake hand. It entered the catalogue shortly thereafter in ’69. The Black Bay 68 pays homage to this important moment in the brand’s history. Another TUDOR mainstay, “TUDOR Blue” makes its way into the design of the Black Bay 68 in the form of a new dial. Along with the TUDOR rose on the crown, the Black Bay 68 is full of nods to TUDOR’s past. What’s new, however, is a bracelet with smooth side flanks instead of the vintage-inspired rivets.
TUDOR wouldn’t go big without going big. The Master Chronometer Certified Black Bay 68 is another example of TUDOR's expert command of one of the industry's most demanding standards in terms of chronometry and resistance to magnetic fields. Tested by the Federal Institute of Metrology or METAS, the Black Bay 68 brings together cutting-edge watchmaking technology with design elements inspired by TUDOR’s more than seven-decade heritage of making robust professional diving watches.
BLACK BAY PRO
Building on the Black Bay Pro’s robust reputation, this new version retains the 39mm diameter case, fixed steel bezel and Manufacture Calibre with built-in GMT function. So what’s new? A distinct new opaline dial with visual touches that make it extremely legible.
When the Black Bay Pro was released in 2022, it was an entirely new concept for TUDOR: take the heritage-inspired Black Bay formula and tweak it to a professional standard on the bleeding edge of tool watch functionality and design. That resulted in a robust watch featuring a 24-hour graduated satin-brushed fixed bezel and a yellow 24-hour "Snowflake" hand, all powered by the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre MT5652 with a built-in GMT function. Now the design is pushed even further, with an opaline dial that boosts legibility. The ceramic markers are outlined in black, as are the hands, to create a bold contrast that bolsters the design, making it suitable for any type of exploration, whether polar or subterranean.
BLACK BAY CHRONO
To mark five decades of its chronographs, TUDOR offered its Black Bay Chrono model in steel with a reworked case and two dial options with contrasting sub-counters in the purest tradition of the sports chronograph. Now the model comes with the option of a 3-link or 5-link bracelet, both with “T-Fit” clasp.
Since the launch in 1970 of the Oysterdate model, its first chronograph, TUDOR has always produced watches that are closely tied to the world of motor sport. Since 1954, TUDOR has likewise been constantly improving its professional divers’ watches. The Black Bay Chrono model combines these traditions in a sports chronograph for purists, with contrasting sub-counters and a high-performance automatic Manufacture Calibre, with column wheel and vertical clutch.
