Delve a little deeper: TUDOR moves into the future with their new Black Bay and Clair De Rose collections at Watches & Wonders 2024
There’s a plethora of adjectives we could use to describe TUDOR’s latest releases (spoiler: get ready to fall head over heels for the new Black Bay pieces and new Clair De Rose watches). Taking inspiration from their previous watch collections and giving them a sleek revamp for 2024 with new materials and Master Chronometer-certified movements, we'd be impressed if you can find the words.
"TUDOR is a brand that is easy to love, and this year, the watchmaker brought a tightly reimagined collection of timepieces to the plate. Turning their attention to the future by tweaking tradition with new additions to its signature Black Bay and Clair De Rose line, we're seeing modern remakes full of great aesthetics. From GMT functions to luxurious 18ct yellow gold, each watch this year is bursting with timeless appeal, and we wouldn’t have expected anything less." - Nick, Head of Retail and Operations.
We won’t tease you any longer, let’s get into all the details. To enquire about the latest TUDOR launches from Watches and Wonders 2024, you can reach out to our Client Services team.
Get in touchTUDOR's latest addition to the coveted Black Bay collection has an entirely new model: the Master Chronometer certified Black Bay 58 GMT which will transport you back to a time when the Big Crown was released in 1958. Now reimagined with a new sleek 39mm case (a nod to its classic proportions) and with a brand-new manufacture calibre with GMT functionality, this watch is jet-setting luxury at its finest. And highly wearable jet-setting luxury at that.
If you’re an avid TUDOR collector, you’ve probably been waiting for the Black Bay 58 GMT and we’re sure it’s come as a delightful surprise. What’s even more impressive is that TUDOR has crafted an all-new mid-size GMT Manufacture Calibre e MT5450-U, especially for this watch, which is COSC certified, of course. And with a silicon hairspring and 65 hour power reserve, when we use the word ‘exclusive’, we mean it.
Named after the year the first TUDOR divers' watch capable of withstanding depths of 200m was introduced, this timepiece is certainly a watch worthy of your time. The bidirectional rotatable bezel with a gilt 24-hour scale adorned with those iconic warm burgundy hues keeps inline with the original design elements of the Black Bay collection, whilst its insert shows subtly curved numerals that match up with the outer edge of the bezel for a clean aesthetic that’s simple to read. Handy, right?
But the attention to detail doesn’t stop there. The second hand pays homage to the vintage diving watches of the brand with a charming lollipop design, while the satin black dial adds a touch of sophistication with its soft radial brushing that catches the light from every angle. And on the redesigned winding crown (inspired by the brand's heritage timepieces), you’ll find the TUDOR rose logo in relief - a standing fan favourite (ours included).
Paired with a "rivet-style" 3-link bracelet or rubber straps that pay homage to TUDOR's iconic designs from the 1950s and 1960s with a ‘T-fit’ feature, you can adjust the length with five positions, for a custom fit over your wetsuit when you’re exploring the open water. Plus, the 65 hour power reserve means you’ll never be out of time with this timepiece donning your wrist.
A subtle blend of diving heritage and contemporary watchmaking have come together with the all-new TUDOR Black Bay 58 GMT – a revival of TUDOR diver’s watches from the 1950s. Answering the prayers of adorning fans with a GMT function and the engineering wonder of an all-new movement, TUDOR’s passion persists for traditional timepieces with pioneering spirit.
The iconic Black Bay made its debut in 2012, and after receiving the prestigious Manufacture Calibre upgrade in 2016, TUDOR has unveiled a reinterpretation of last year's burgundy model - in just the right note of monochrome. With nods to the original Black Bay and celebrating the technical future of the line with newly developed design elements, a “T-fit” clasp and certified as a Master Chronometer, this monochrome beauty is sure to stand the test of time.
Inspired by TUDOR's long-standing heritage of crafting robust professional diving watches for nearly seven decades in its newest rendition, the iconic 41mm case maintains its classic allure while sporting a sleeker silhouette. A closer look reveals a meticulously crafted 60-minute unidirectional rotatable bezel in stainless steel, offering a tactile experience with its easily grip-able sides and chic numerals that gracefully follow the outer ring's contours.
With an inky black dial reminiscent of the 1950s era of TUDOR divers’ watches and applied rhodium-plated hour markers and Super-LumiNova hands (a nod to the TUDOR watches used by the French National Navy in the 1970s), this is an elevated classic that will never go out of style. You heard it here first, guys.
But the allure of the Black Bay doesn't stop there. The second hand pays homage to the vintage diving watches of yesteryears with a charming ‘lollipop’ design, while the lustrous satin black dial boasts a delicate radial-brushed finish that exudes a subtle iridescence when hit by light, did you spot the famous ‘snowflake’ hands too? Iconic. And in true TUDOR fashion, even the ergonomics have been refined to perfection, with a redesigned crown mirroring the classic curves seen on the brand's historic technical timepieces, seamlessly blending into the middle case band for a clean and polished look. It's these meticulous details that truly set this timepiece apart.
With two matching bracelets to choose from, whether you opt for the sleek “rivet-style” 3-link stainless steel design (used by TUDOR in the 1950s and 1960s) famous for having riveted heads visible on the side of the links and a distinct stepped design. Or the avant-garde five-oval-shaped-link brushed and polished variation (also in steel) each boasts the innovative TUDOR “T-fit” clasp featuring a rapid length adjustment system with five positions making sure it’s always delicately adorning your wrist. And amplifying its practicality even further, the adjustment window spans 8mm, so you can fine-tune the bracelet's length with ease. For those of you seeking a more relaxed approach, the Black Bay also offers a black rubber strap option that can be tailored to three sizes. So, if you’re looking for the perfect blend of sleek design and versatility, you’ve found it.
Nestled within the beating heart of this timepiece lies the exquisite manufacture calibre MT5602-U, a marvel of precision crafted to withstand the elements. With accuracy tested at two temperatures, in six positions, and at two levels of power reserve, this movement boasts a formidable 70 hour power reserve and waterproof capability up to 200m. Resisting magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, this watch is your trusty companion above and beneath the water day in and day out.
A harmonious marriage of classic design and modern innovations, the Black Bay is more than just a re-release. Encapsulating seven decades of TUDOR's dive watch legacy it remains firmly rooted in the present. Neo-vintage in spirit, it upholds the brand's tradition while adhering to today's unwavering standards of performance, movement, durability, and immaculate detailing.
Well, ladies and gents, we’ve got a bit of a jaw-dropper here - the daring new iteration of the Black Bay 58 in 18ct yellow gold (the very first TUDOR diver’s watch in 18ct gold). The name of course is a nod to the precious metal adorning its case and bracelet but also to 1958 when TUDOR set a new standard with the first waterproof divers’ watch, the legendary reference 7924 or “Big Crown”. Retro revival can be seen throughout, from the iconic ‘snowflake’ hands ( a nod to the 1969 models) to the shoulderless crown and uniquely designed case this timepiece is all about show-stopping good looks.
Draped in a luxurious satin finish for a matte effect, there’s s another first for TUDOR's diver timepieces- the debut of the transparent case back which offers a rare glimpse into the intricate workings of the new Manufacture Calibre MT5400, a dual aesthetic narrative not usually seen with these kinds of models.
We love the allure of colour captured by a unique pairing of a dial and bezel in a luscious "golden green" shade, with subtle matte gold touches making for a colourful statement piece. And with gold and green both being key colour trends on the SS24 runways this timepiece has certainly nailed the brief for hitting this season's mood. We’re loving the Super-Luminova ‘snowflake’ hands (which appeared in the brand’s 1969 catalogue) and applied hour markers, too, gleaming in 18ct yellow at its core. Oh, and did we mention its 200m water resistance? it’s as functional in the ocean depths as it is on the surface and a versatile watch like this is always a winner in our eyes.
There are plenty of firsts for this diving watch which now comes with a beautifully matched solid gold 3-link bracelet fitted with the TUDOR “T-fit” clasp so you can easily adjust the length yourself and transition from the boardroom to the open sea in nothing but style. And with the Manufacture Calibre MT5400 (COSC) at its beating heart boasting a 70 hour power reserve, you’ve got Swiss timekeeping accuracy at your fingertips - a timepiece set to become your go-to diving companion.
Housing TUDOR created movements and ‘snowflake’ hands (a nod to the TUDOR watches used by the French National Navy in the 1970s), function and reliability lie at the core of the Black Bay 58 18K. We can’t decide what we love more: the manufacture calibre MT5402 (COSC) powering each beat of this mighty watch or the 18ct gold case. We’ll let you decide.
If you appreciate timeless (blue) elegance when you see it, you’ll want to get well acquainted with the reimagined Clair de Rose. For 2024, the watchmaker has unveiled a brand-new “TUDOR Blue” dial to the collection for the very first time, a nod to 1969 when TUDOR first introduced its signature blue dial on the TUDOR Submariner, so if there was ever a time to add ‘something blue’ to your wrist, it’s now.
A marriage made in blue and (steel) heaven, these new renditions are available in three different sizes (26, 30 and 34mm) crafted exclusively in stainless steel and boasting two unique designs with delicate decorations in relief. Accentuated with Roman numerals or diamonds on the dial, it’s got just the right amount of minimal aesthetics with lashings of luxury. But if you do want diamonds, here are the details…eight scintillating diamond dot hour markers adorn the dial. We can’t forget the diamonds, of course.
Embodying a rich legacy that traces back to the opulent art-deco era of the 1930s the brand's history reveals a dedication to crafting intricate jewellery watches that were not only trendsetting but also rich in detail. Well, this edition is no exception, with a steel case polished to perfection and a smooth steel bezel with a polished finish that adds a touch of glamour to the dial and sapphire crystal to keep everything looking pristine it’s no wonder TUDOR has a golden reputation for their passion for luxury and sophistication. And don’t even get us started on the details - that ornate steel screw-down winding crown adorned with a transparent blue spinel cabochon has left us speechless.
With a stainless steel 5-link bracelet, often likened to the "beads of rice" design (for unrivalled suppleness and shine), it offers unparalleled flexibility and comfort. Talk about secure? Not just a pretty face, the self-winding mechanical movement, Calibre T601 (for the 34mm) or T601 (for the 26 and 30mm editions) beats at the heart and boasts a power reserve of 38 hours so you never have to worry about running out of time. Along with a 100m water resistance you'll never want (or need) to take it off.
Feminine and refined, the latest TUDOR Clair De Rose collection is bursting with timeless appeal with a new signature blue dial. From the iconic winding crown, and diamond dot hour markers to the ‘rice grain’ linked bracelet these timepieces are a delicate reminder of TUDOR’s ‘less is more’ aesthetic approach to creating watches.
