A FRESH AND BOLD DESIGN

 

The Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” brings an exciting splash of colour to TUDOR’s well-loved Black Bay Chrono collection. The watch features a 41mm stainless-steel case, with satin-brushed and polished finishes that create a sleek, modern look. The Flamingo Blue dial, a soft turquoise reminiscent of tropical waters, instantly catches the eye with its vibrant tone. This unconventional colour choice is paired with contrasting black sub-counters that create a bold visual impact. The result is a timepiece that blends playful energy with refined design.

 

True to TUDOR’s roots, the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” retains the brand’s signature “Snowflake” hands, introduced in 1969 for their superior readability. These hands are filled with Swiss Super-LumiNova® to ensure visibility in all conditions. The dial layout also includes a 45-minute chronograph counter at the 3 o’clock position, a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, and a date window at 6 o’clock, offering both functionality and style.

A HIGH-PERFORMANCE MOVEMENT

 

At the heart of the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” is the TUDOR Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813, a powerful self-winding movement certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The MT5813 movement provides an impressive 70-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to run continuously without needing to be wound. It also features a silicon balance spring for improved resistance to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations, ensuring enhanced accuracy and durability.

 

The movement is equipped with a column wheel and vertical clutch, allowing for smooth, precise operation of the chronograph functions. This technical innovation ensures that the chronograph hands engage smoothly without any jump or hesitation, which is a hallmark of high-end chronograph movements. The MT5813 movement reflects TUDOR’s commitment to both performance and precision, making the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” a reliable timepiece for everyday use.

TUDOR’S LEGACY AND CONTEMPORARY INNOVATION

 

While the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” boasts modern features, it remains deeply rooted in TUDOR’s rich watchmaking history. The Snowflake hands are a distinctive element that first appeared on TUDOR’s divers' watches in 1969. These hands are designed for optimum legibility, even under water, making them a perfect fit for the brand’s legacy of professional dive watches.

The case design, too, pays homage to TUDOR’s past, with steel pushers inspired by the earliest TUDOR chronographs. These pushers offer a tactile, satisfying experience when engaging the chronograph functions. The tachymeter scale on the fixed bezel is another nod to TUDOR’s motorsport heritage, allowing the wearer to measure speed over a known distance. The watch also features the iconic TUDOR rose-signed crown and bevelled lugs, which further enhance its elegant yet functional design.

 

AN IDEAL FIT WITH PRACTICAL FEATURES

 

Fitted with a 5-link stainless-steel bracelet, the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” is as comfortable as it is stylish. The bracelet features TUDOR’s T-Fit rapid adjustment clasp, allowing the wearer to adjust the bracelet to the perfect fit without the need for tools. With five positions of adjustment, the system offers easy, on-the-go customization, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit at all times. The clasp also includes ceramic ball bearings, providing a smooth, satisfying tactile experience when opening and closing the clasp.

 

This innovative clasp system adds a level of practicality to the watch, making it ideal for both casual and active wear. Whether you’re attending a formal event or out on an adventure, the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” is designed to adapt to your needs.

 

A GUARANTEE OF QUALITY AND DURABILITY

 

TUDOR has long been synonymous with durability and precision, and the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” is no exception. The watch is backed by a five-year transferable guarantee, providing peace of mind to owners. This guarantee does not require the watch to be registered or undergo mandatory maintenance checks, and it remains fully transferable should the watch change ownership during the warranty period. TUDOR recommends servicing the watch approximately every 10 years, depending on usage, to ensure its longevity.
