Introducing the first all-burgundy new Black Bay 58 with a 5-row link bracelet with “T-fit”. The Black Bay 58 is named after the year in which the reference 7924, dubbed the “Big Crown”, was introduced, Tudor’s first diver’s watch with a water resistance of 200 meters. Inheriting the design of this famous historical model, it features a case diameter of 39 mm and classic proportions typical of the 1950s. This new model of the Black Bay 58 maintains the essence of the design inherited from Tudor’s successive models, while retaining the design essence of the Tudor Submariner, which was developed as a prototype in the 1990s. It also incorporates the design of Ref.79190. This watch had a polished burgundy dial and matching bezel. Although it never made it into production, the design has now come to life in the form of the new Black Bay 58. In addition to its new design, the new Black Bay 58 has achieved Master Chronometer certification, the industry’s most stringent standard for timekeeping and magnetic resistance. Each watch is fully assembled and tested by the Swiss Federal Institute for Metrology and Certification (METAS). This model is also available with a 5-row link bracelet, a 3-row link bracelet, and a rubber strap, and all three types feature a “T-fit” quick-adjust clasp for even greater wearing comfort. TUDOR QUALITY With the launch of the new Black Bay 58, Tudor has completed yet another model that has passed the rigorous testing of Master Chronometer certification. This marks Tudor’s continued pursuit of improving the quality of its products, and is another step towards Master Chronometer certification for the entire collection. To achieve this certification by the Swiss government agency METAS, the standard Tudor manufacture caliber had to undergo significant changes. But it also means that Tudor’s exceptional quality is independently guaranteed. EMBLEMATIC LOOK The Black Bay is one of the most iconic and well-recognized models in the Tudor collection. The case of the Black Bay 58 is a small and thin 39 Finished with mm proportions. The sides of the burgundy-colored unidirectional rotating bezel have a good grip, and the inserts feature gently curved numbers that follow the line of the outer ring. However, the design details go beyond just the case size and bezel. The seconds hand is lollipop-shaped, reminiscent of Tudor’s early diver’s watches, and the satin burgundy dial has a brushed finish with subtle radials that give it a very subtle shine in direct sunlight. Ergonomics have also evolved. The newly designed crown has a shape reminiscent of the curves of the crowns of Tudor’s historic technical watches. It is designed to fit into the side of the middle case and the tube is not visible from the outside. THE ESSENCE OF BLACK BAY The Black Bay collection features a dial inspired by Tudor diver’s watches made in the 1950s, featuring the distinctive squared hands known to collectors as the “Snowflake” from the brand’s 1969 catalogue. The unprotected crown and case feature are reminiscent of the original Tudor diving watches. The Black Bay collection was born from the miraculous encounter between classic aesthetics and cutting-edge watchmaking. It is not simply a “reproduction of a past model.” It brings together 70 years of Tudor diving watch technology and philosophy, while remaining cleanly focused on the present. Adding manufacturing technology, reliability, robustness, and precision to the neo-vintage concept, it has demonstrated its presence as a true practical watch today.

The Black Bay 68 is available in two color variations. As a new royal road, we will carry the next generation. The essence of the Black Bay 68 is not only the new case size, but also the fact that it has been certified as a Master Chronometer by METAS. 1968 was the year the iconic “snowflake” hands, now considered a Tudor design icon, were born. Shortly thereafter, in 1969, it was officially added to the catalog. The Black Bay 68 pays homage to this important moment in the brand’s history. In addition, another Tudor signature, “Tudor Blue,” has been incorporated to create a new dial design. With the Tudor rose on the crown, the Black Bay 68 is full of details that speak to the brand’s heritage. On the other hand, the newly adopted bracelet is not a vintage-style “rivet style,” but instead features a clean side. In other words, a bold large-scale model typical of Tudor has been completed. The Master Chronometer-certified Black Bay 68 represents Tudor’s technical prowess against some of the industry’s most rigorous standards for timekeeping and anti-magnetic performance. Tested by the Swiss Federal Institute for Metrology and Certification (METAS), the Black Bay 68 combines cutting-edge watchmaking technology with design elements inspired by Tudor’s heritage of producing rugged diving watches for professionals for over 70 years. THE MANUFACTURE CALIBRE MT5601-U The Manufacture Caliber MT5601-U, which powers the Black Bay 68, displays hours, minutes, and seconds. In addition to the look and feel of a typical Tudor manufacture caliber, the watch also features a laser-decorated sun motif and a Master Chronometer inscription on the bridge, highlighting its outstanding performance. The monobloc tungsten rotor is openworked and features distinctive laser-etched radial grooves with sandblasted details. The bridges and main plate are sandblasted and polished, as well as laser-decorated. Manufacture that combines robustness and precision The variable inertia balance of the caliber MT5601-U is held in a sturdy double-sided traversing bridge. The movement is also certified as a Swiss chronometer, meaning it has achieved a high level of accuracy that exceeds the standards set by the association. While COSC certification allows for an average daily variation of between -4 seconds and 6 seconds for uncased movements, Tudor also applies a standard of 6 seconds per day (-2 seconds, 4 seconds) when assembled as a wristwatch. METAS requires that watches that receive Master Chronometer certification operate within a stricter daily variation of 5 seconds (0 seconds, 5 seconds). The Manufacture Caliber MT5601-U is certified not only for its high precision but also for its high magnetic resistance, meaning it is unaffected by magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gauss. Another notable feature is that the power reserve of the Manufacture Caliber MT5601-U is weekend-proof. This means that with a METAS-certified power reserve of approximately 70 hours, you won’t have to take your watch off on Friday night and rewind it when you put it back on Monday morning. Even while you’re enjoying your weekend, your watch never fails to do its job. PRICE 3-row link stainless steel bracelet ¥663,300 ■BLACK BAY PRO
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/60765/39/60765-39-f8247572bf8a4c25e6d221ab208431c6-842×631.jpg A new version builds on the solid reputation the Black Bay Pro has built since its release. This model features a 39 mm case, fixed steel bezel, and a manufacture caliber with GMT function. So what’s new? This is an impressive new opaline dial that achieves high visibility. When the Black Bay Pro was announced in 2022, it was a completely new concept for Tudor. While following the Black Bay’s heritage-inspired style, it has evolved the functionality and design of a tool watch into a cutting-edge professional specification. The result is a robust watch with a satin-finished fixed bezel with 24-hour scale, an elongated yellow 24-hour “snowflake” hand, and the Tudor Manufacture Caliber MT5652 with integrated GMT function. This time, the design has evolved even further, with an opaline dial that boasts high
visibility. The ceramic hour markers have black edging, creating a strong contrast. It is suitable for all kinds of exploration, from the polar regions to the underground. ADVENTURER SPIRIT AND TECHNICAL AESTHETICS Throughout the brand’s history, Tudor watches have been the choice of the most intrepid adventurers. More than 70 years ago, Tudor watches were on the wrists of 30 explorers who embarked on a two-year British North Greenland Expedition to study the Arctic ice field. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Tudor, provided watches to the expedition members. Hans had just created the brand’s first waterproof, self-winding watch, the Oyster Prince, and he thought there was no better environment to test the performance of his watch than the harsh Arctic climate. The Black Bay Pro is a watch entrusted with the heritage of an instrument that supported the lives of adventurers filled with a pioneering spirit. A tool watch designed for
professionals. Although this model belongs to the Black Bay
collection, it incorporates many unique design details. For example, the crown has been redesigned for maximum grip. Reminiscent of the curves of the crowns of Tudor’s historic technical watches, this component runs along the side of the middle case, keeping the tube hidden from view. The applied hour markers on the dial are made of monobloc ceramic and coated with luminescent paint, giving the watch a technical look. Furthermore, it is equipped with a “T-fit” adjusting system that allows self-size adjustment. With a simple operation that requires no tools, the wearer can now adjust the 8mm length in five steps.

https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/60765/39/60765-39-d879c430b5ad92d9f3d5ae7b25cc4222-842×631.jpg A new model designed to cope with the harsh environment associated with saturation diving has been born, demonstrating the highest performance in Pelagos history. Water resistant to 1,000 meters, it features a patented bracelet adjustment mechanism and a 43 mm titanium case. Certified as a Master Chronometer by METAS, this model represents a breakthrough in technological innovation. Pelagos Ultra challenges the unknown deep sea. Tudor asked a simple question in order to further evolve the Pelagos, which had already established itself as an ultra-high-spec diver’s watch. What are the conditions required for deep sea exploration? What kind of watch can withstand the technical challenges required for normal operation in the “twilight zone” of water depths of 200 m to 1,000 m? The answer is Pelagos Ultra. The titanium case is water resistant to an incredible 1,000 meters with a water resistance rating of 43 It has evolved into mm. Visibility is further improved by adopting two colors of blue and green luminescence. The bracelet has also been completely redesigned to meet the requirements of deep sea diving. Tudor knows that most people who wear this watch won’t be working at depths of 1,000 meters – but that’s the essence of this model. This watch is a challenge to the extreme. This book was born from the idea of “What if?” In other words, it was born from a setting without limits. If it can withstand the harsh environment of 1,000 meters underwater, it should be able to withstand any situation. The Pelagos Ultra joins the Tudor family of technical diving watches with a water resistance of 1,000 meters. While the Pelagos, Pelagos LHD and Pelagos FXD continue the tradition of pure marine technology, the Pelagos Ultra pushes the boundaries even further. It takes it to the next level with features for highly specialized, niche professional deep sea diving. PRICE Titanium bracelet ¥839,300 *Black rubber strap included ■BLACK BAY CHRONO

With a redesigned steel case and contrasting sub-counters, it is a model in the purest sports chronograph tradition. This model is now available with either a 3-row or 5-row link bracelet, both with a “T-fit” clasp. Since 1970, when the brand’s first chronograph, the Oysterdate model, was introduced, Tudor has been making watches with close ties to the world of motorsport. Since 1954, Tudor’s
professional diving watches have also continued to evolve. The Black Bay Chrono was born as an orthodox sports chronograph that combines these traditions and is equipped with a high-performance automatic manufacture caliber that features a contrasting sub-counter, a column wheel, and a vertical clutch. THE SPIRIT OF ASPHALT AND SEA True to the Black Bay aesthetic, the Black Bay Chrono features the “snowflake” hands that have been a signature of Tudor dive watches since 1969. Finished for optimal visibility on the dome-shaped dial. The dial, available in matt black or opaline versions, features two recessed sub-counters, each in contrasting silver or matt black, for enhanced legibility. Also early Tudor Inspired by a chronograph, it features a 45-minute counter and a calendar at 6 o’clock. The Black Bay’s iconic design remains unchanged, with a 41 mm diameter steel case. By carefully cutting the lower part of the sapphire crystal and adjusting the position of the movement, a more sophisticated form was achieved. The design of the stainless steel pushers is inspired by early Tudor chronographs, embodying Tudor’s meticulous attention to detail. A stainless steel fixed bezel with black anodized insert and tachymeter scale gives this new sporty chronograph its distinctive appearance. 3-LINK AND 5-LINK STEEL BRACELETS WITH “T-FIT” CLASP This model is also available on a stainless steel five-row link bracelet or on a stainless steel three-row link “rivet style” bracelet, inspired by the riveted folding bracelets that Tudor made in the 1950s and 1960s. The bracelet was notable for the rivet heads connecting the links that were visible on the side of the bracelet. The links also had a unique tiered structure. These beautiful details have been brought back to life using the latest technology and can be seen in today’s models. Both bracelets feature a TUDOR “T-fit” quick-adjust clasp that allows the wearer to easily adjust the length to 8 mm in five steps without the need for tools. The clasp also uses a ceramic ball bearing, which not only provides a pleasant tactile sensation when operating the clasp, but also ensures a smooth and secure closure.
