With daring new pieces set to excite every Swiss watch enthusiast, it’s safe to these timepieces are already capturing the attention of the watch industry.
Let’s not tease any longer and dive straight into it. Get ready to meet your new favourite luxury watch…
TUDOR Black Bay 54
Inspired by the reference 7922, the very first divers model that TUDOR created in 1954, the new Black Bay 54 design released at Watches and Wonders 2023 recognises the brand’s heritage and love for diver watches.
First designed for underwater professionals, with plenty of luminescence on the hands and dial, the new Black Bay 54 range offers exceptional vision underwater.
To celebrate its diving roots, the unidirectional bezel no longer features hash marks, echoing the days of the earlier designs when SCUBA diving was in its infancy and offering a sleek and stripped back look. To further recall the original diving watch, the seconds hand showcases a lollipop design and the redesigned crown and bezel feature historic proportions. The iconic TUDOR snowflake minute and hour hands add the perfect touch.
A beautiful representation of the brand’s heritage, combined with a sleek contemporary feel too, this modern diving watch offers high performance with a Manufacture Calibre, as well as the innovative and comfortable T-fit clasp to fine tune the length of your bracelet. Or choose from a black rubber strap too for durable elegance. We love the slender yet statement feel of this watch.
TUDOR Black Bay 31, 36, 39 & 41mm
With a size and style to suit every true watch enthusiast, we’re smitten with these new additions to the TUDOR Black Bay collection. Designed in steel with a fixed bezel and three dial options, choose from a beautifully light champagne-coloured dial, a deep blue dial or anthracite dial. A special little detail that we particularly love about the different dial colours is the different minute track colours chosen to contrast beautifully and add a warmth to each watch.
The curved design of the case features polished and domed sides for a soft silhouette, enhanced by the new curved winding crown. The vintage-inspired second hand features a lollipop design, and a minute hand known to watch lovers as a pencil style, giving this watch a look of vintage luxury.
Stepping away from the brand’s well known tool watch style, these pieces have a unisex chic feel that embraces a sophisticated look. The five link bracelet has a polished centre and the developed T-fit system, allowing you to find the perfect fit. Taking inspiration from the TUDOR divers’ watches produced in the 1950s, collectors will love the aesthetic feel of these special timepieces.
Putting TUDOR at the cutting edge of technical watchmaking, each watch is equipped with a Manufacture Calibre movement. Even the 31mm size that’s been fitted with a smaller manufacture movement.
TUDOR Black Bay
Introducing the newest Black Bay, a modern evolution of the iconic diving watch with a stunning burgundy dial. These new pieces launched at Watches and Wonders 2023 are the third generation of this iconic line.
Not only is this watch aesthetically impressive, it’s also a technical revolution. This watch is Master Chronometer-certified, making it the third watch in TUDOR’s collection to be successfully submitted by METAS - the strictest test of all within the watch industry. Small details like the minimal tube between the crown and case create such a sleek finish.
With the distinctive snowflake hands and the vintage-inspired lollipop hands, this striking watch flawlessly combines a heritage look with contemporary style, but it’s the 60-minute unidirectional burgundy bezel that we can’t stop staring at.
TUDOR Black Bay GMT
A strong favourite to come out of Watches and Wonders 2023, this TUDOR Black Bay GMT watch is loved for its striking colours and beautiful new dial. TUDOR have introduced a new opaline dial, which is not to be mistaken for a white dial. Silver-coloured hints shine through the dial, perfectly complementing the blue and red bezel. The dark colours around the edge of the dial add a stunning contrast.
Reminiscent of the mid-century boom in commercial aviation, the charming watch and unique dial are not only highly legible, but very easy on the eye too.
The whimsical dial and bezel is enhanced by the incredibly useful multiple time zone complication, known as a GMT function. So you can keep track of local time, as well as the time in two other time zones.
Choose from a sleek stainless steel bracelet with beautiful rivets along the side, inspired by watches made by TUDOR in the 1950s and 1960s, or a stylish fabric strap. Woven in France, this TUDOR jacquard-woven strap is designed in black fabric with a woven burgundy accent through the middle to match the bezel.
At the heart of this beautiful watch? The Manufacture Calbre MT5652. With an integrated GMT function, jumping hour hand and retrograde date setting, this movement was developed by TUDOR especially for the Black Bay GMT watches. A delightful demonstration of TUDOR’s passion for technical development, this watch is sure to be loved and appreciated greatly by watch enthusiasts.
TUDOR Royal
We’ve met and fallen for the new Black Bay watches and now it’s time for something a little different. The new additions to the TUDOR Royal collection have stolen our hearts. From the sunray dials to the brushed chocolate brown or salmon-coloured hues, these new watches are the epitome of elegance.
Channeling a sport-chic style, these watches are presented on an integrated metal bracelet, designed to sit comfortably on your wrist.
With a self-winding movement, these timepieces beautifully combine a first class technical performance and a refined aesthetic and are a continuation of the first TUDOR Royal watch launched in the 1950s.
These sunray dials glisten and shimmer at every turn. Just look at them in the sunlight to really appreciate them. Available in both stainless steel or gold and steel, these new pieces are available in four sizes to suit every style. Choose from 28, 34, 38 or 41mm.
