The NEW Tudor Black Bay Chrono "Flamingo Blue" is here!
Posted by VALLAE GOODS on
On January 17, 2025, Tudor unveiled the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue,” a vibrant addition to its esteemed Black Bay collection. This release follows the brand’s tradition of infusing bold colors into classic designs, as seen with the previous Black Bay Chrono Pink. The “Flamingo Blue” model stands out with its striking turquoise dial, reminiscent of tropical waters, complemented by black sub-counters and a black anodized aluminum tachymeter bezel.
Design and Aesthetics
The Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” features a 41mm stainless steel case with a polished and satin finish, maintaining the robust and sporty appeal characteristic of the Black Bay line. The dial’s turquoise hue, playfully dubbed “Flamingo Blue,” is both eye-catching and contemporary, offering a fresh take on the traditional chronograph. The contrasting black sub-dials provide excellent legibility and balance to the overall design. Rhodium-plated hands and hour markers filled with white Super-LumiNova® ensure optimal visibility in various lighting conditions.
Movement and Performance
At the heart of the “Flamingo Blue” is the Calibre MT5813, a self-winding mechanical movement with a bidirectional rotor system. This movement, based on the Breitling B01, is the result of a collaboration between Tudor and Breitling, showcasing the best of both brands’ technical expertise. It features a column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism, ensuring precise chronograph functionality. The movement is COSC-certified, boasting an impressive 70-hour power reserve, making it a reliable companion for extended wear.
Bracelet and Comfort
Tudor offers the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” with a five-link stainless steel bracelet, often referred to as the “jubilee” style. This bracelet combines polished and brushed finishes, adding a touch of elegance to the sporty chronograph. Equipped with the T-Fit micro-adjustment system, the bracelet allows for easy resizing, ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist.
