Mark this season of good tidings and festive cheer with a cool blue TUDOR watch
Feeling wistful? We don’t blame you. A reflective mood is in the air and—after yet another incredible year of making the best out of our lives—we can all do with a bit of contemplation and plenty of good cheer this Christmas.
Whether you are a watch aficionado or someone who is simply looking to pamper yourself (or a loved one) with a gift that is imbued with thoughtfulness and meaning, a special timepiece from TUDOR does the job with distinction. We invite you to celebrate with a specially curated selection of timepieces featuring striking dials that echo the ‘TUDOR Blue’ aesthetic. From the enigmatic Black Bay Ceramic Blue and the iconic Black Bay 36, to the sporty Black Bay Chrono Blue and feminine Clair de Rose, choose from this quartet of TUDOR creations that will make this Christmas truly unforgettable.
Black Bay Chrono “Blue”
Perfect for the TUDOR enthusiast who is looking to add a special model to his collection, the Black Bay Chrono “Blue” is an exclusive boutique edition. The watch distils TUDOR’s incredible chronograph-making expertise into a striking, modern-day sports watch, echoing the brand’s association with chronographs, which stretches back to its first-ever chronograph model, the Oysterdate from 1970.
Driving the Black Bay Chrono Blue is the robust Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813. This in-house automatic movement features TUDOR’s own high-precision regulating organ, alongside other exclusive finishes. Loaded with precision and stamina, the COSC-certified engine promises 70-hour power reserve, a column wheel mechanism for smooth chronograph activation, and accuracy of -2/+4 seconds per day.
The watch’s powerful inner workings are complemented by an equally stunning appearance. Presented in a 41mm steel case with a matching five-link bracelet, the Black Bay Chrono Blue commands attention with its gorgeous blue anodised aluminium bezel with tachymeter scale, and domed blue satin-brushed dial with two silver chronograph totalisers, paired with the Black Bay’s signature ‘Snowflake’ hour hand.
Black Bay Ceramic “Blue”
The dashing and dynamic Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” first caught the attention of TUDOR enthusiasts when it was introduced to commemorate TUDOR’s sponsorship of the Visa Cash App RB Formula One team. With the release of this production model just months before the Christmas season, fans can now flaunt the same timepiece that was previously spotted on the wrists of drivers Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo.
Bearing similar technical attributes to the first Black Bay Ceramic watch from 2021, the new Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” is a Master Chronometer, certified by METAS. The Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” offers magnetic resistance of up to 15,000 gauss, guarantees daily accuracy of 0/+5 seconds per day, and provides up to 70 hours of power reserve.
A top-drawer gift that will surely raise temperatures at your year-end soiree, this watch is designed to thrill lovers of sports watches. The watch’s futuristic high-tech DNA is reflected in its ultra-contemporary appearance – a sleek 41mm matt black ceramic case which features a micro-blasted finish and includes an open sapphire caseback that reveals its self-winding Manufacture Calibre MT5602-1U, also sheathed in black. Meanwhile, the dial offers excellent contrast with its electric azure hue (a nod to the Formula One team’s livery), complemented by the Black Bay’s iconic “Snowflake” hands and large hour markers filled with Grade X1 Swiss Super-LumiNova. Paired with a hybrid leather and rubber strap with blue stitching, the watch also comes with a complimentary black fabric strap with a blue band.
Black Bay 36
Love the retro-inspired sportiness of the iconic Black Bay collection but also want a sophisticated dress watch? Your wish is TUDOR’s command. Combining the well-loved design hallmarks of the Black Bay line with an ultra-refined disposition, the Black Bay 36 offers you, quite literally, the best of both worlds.
A versatile and unisex watch that is ideal for couples who enjoy sharing their watches—a great way to add style mileage this festive season—this timepiece is an undisputed member of the Black Bay family. Its beautiful blue dial is framed by an elegant minute track that surrounds its prominent hour markers, and features the collection’s famous “Snowflake” hour hands, which reference vintage TUDOR dive watches from the 1960s. The Black Bay 36’s sporty and retro-inspired aesthetic is elevated by a generous dose of class, courtesy of a newly designed fixed bezel on a polished steel case with a five-link bracelet. With a 36mm case, this unisex watch makes a perfect gift for both gents or ladies.
Beyond its dressy demeanour, the watch is endowed with mechanical performance. The Black Bay 36 is powered by the Manufacture Calibre MT5400, a high-precision, COSC-certified self-winding movement with 70-hour power reserve that has been developed entirely in-house by TUDOR.
Clair de Rose
Perfect for Christmas, yet timeless and versatile enough to be worn the whole year round, the Clair de Rose is an all-occasion dress watch designed to transition seamlessly from weekdays to weekends.
The classy and feminine dress watch has been newly refreshed this year, bearing a subtly glamorous spirit that belies the collection’s diminutive 26mm, 30mm, and 34mm sizes. Here, the steel case’s smooth curves frame a neo-classical opaline dial featuring blue lacquered Roman numerals and a pleated motif. Complementing its elegance is a polished steel bracelet with ‘rice grain’ links that hug the wrist with suppleness and comfort.
To complete the look, TUDOR again elevates the watches with navy blue dials, adorned with a ridged sunburst pattern and Roman numerals. Depending on the model you desire, some variants are adorned with diamond hour markers for extra sparkle. Refined aesthetics aside, the Clair de Rose watches are also imbued with mechanical prowess, boasting TUDOR’s self-winding automatic movements with 38-hour power reserve.
