Tudor raises the curtain on the new Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue,” a chronograph that combines bold spirit and precision engineering. By now, as we all know, the Maison does not lack the desire to go against the grain, so after the launch of the Black Bay Chrono “Pink” that displaced everyone, Tudor confirms its intent to overturn the aesthetic canons of its timepieces, making them fun and eccentric.
With its vibrant turquoise-hued dial, this watch captures the essence of the tropical waters of South Beach Miami and carries a wave of solar energy into the heart of winter. Despite its playful name, “Flamingo Blue” is not just a color-it’s a style statement for those who like to stand out.
The design of the new Tudor Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue”
The new Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue fits perfectly into Tudor’s tradition of daring and pioneering innovation. Since the debut of the first Oysterdate chronograph in 1970, the brand has consistently redefined the rules of sports watchmaking. With a turquoise dial enhanced by contrasting black counters, this new model is an ode to color diversity and innovative design.
Snowflake hands, an unmistakable Tudor signature since 1969, ensure perfect legibility thanks to the luminescent Swiss Super-LumiNova Grade A coating. The whole is encased in a 41 mm-diameter 316L steel case, complemented by a fixed bezel with tachymeter scale engraved on a black anodized aluminum disc.
The chronograph counters, positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock, are inspired by the first generation of Tudor chronographs, while the date window at 6 o’clock is an homage to the Oysterdate design of the 1970s. Every detail, from the satin and polished finish of the case to the aesthetics of the screw-locked pushers, underscores the brand’s dedication to excellence.
Attention to detail extends to the five-link steel bracelet, equipped with Tudor’s “T fit” clasp , a quick-adjust system that allows the length to be adjusted by up to 8 mm without tools. This ensures comfort tailored to each wrist, while the ceramic ball-bearing mechanism ensures a secure and durable clasp.
True to the spirit of the Black Bay collection, the “Flamingo Blue” combines tradition and modernity. The iconic elements of Tudor watches, such as beveled lugs and a rose-embossed crown, combine with cutting-edge technologies to create a neo-vintage chronograph with timeless yet, above all, irresistible appeal.
The caliber of the new Tudor Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue”
The beating heart of the Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue is the Manufacture caliber MT5813, a mechanical automatic movement of excellence. Equipped with a column wheel and vertical clutch, this caliber ensures precision and smooth chronograph functions, while the silicon balance spring offers resistance to magnetic fields.
With a 70-hour ‘autonomy and a COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control) certification, the movement is able to maintain impeccable accuracy, with a daily variation between -2 and +4 seconds in the assembled model. This level of performance is the result of a collaboration between Tudor and Breitling, who joined forces to create a robust, reliable and sophisticated caliber.
Conclusions
The Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue is not just a watch: it is a celebration of 50 years of chronograph mastery. From the first Oysterdate to the present, the Maison has continued to innovate, pushing the boundaries of design and technology. This model is no exception, combining the brand’s heritage with a fresh, contemporary twist.
