TUDOR Expands Its Bold Palette : Introducing the Black Bay Chrono "Flamingo Blue"
TUDOR continues to push the boundaries of modern chronograph design with the launch of the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue”—a striking new addition to its already vibrant lineup. Following the success of last year’s daring Black Bay Chrono Pink, this latest release reinforces TUDOR’s reputation for blending bold aesthetics with high-performance craftsmanship. Featuring an eye-catching turquoise-blue dial, the “Flamingo Blue” offers watch enthusiasts a fresh and distinctive expression of colour and style.
Breaking the Mold: The New Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue”
TUDOR has never been one to follow conventions, and the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” is yet another testament to that philosophy. Inspired by the turquoise waters that flamingos call home, this new edition radiates energy and individuality. Its vivid blue dial, contrasted by black sub-counters, ensures exceptional readability while maintaining the classic chronograph layout reminiscent of TUDOR’s first-generation racing watches.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” upholds TUDOR’s unwavering commitment to precision and durability. Encased in a 41mm satin-brushed and polished 316L stainless steel case, the watch is equipped with a fixed bezel featuring a tachymeter scale insert in black anodized aluminium. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the case construction offers an impressive 200m water resistance, making it as functional as it is stylish.
At its core, the watch is powered by the Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813, featuring a column-wheel mechanism and vertical clutch for seamless chronograph operation. Certified by COSC and exceeding industry precision standards, the movement delivers a 70-hour power reserve and incorporates a silicon balance spring for enhanced reliability. Completing the look is a stainless steel 5-link bracelet, equipped with TUDOR’s “T-fit” rapid adjustment clasp, ensuring superior comfort and adaptability.
A Natural Evolution from the Black Bay Chrono Pink
The “Flamingo Blue” follows in the footsteps of the Black Bay Chrono Pink, which turned heads in 2024 with its unconventional and daring pink dial. That release redefined expectations for sports chronographs, merging vintage-inspired elements—like TUDOR’s signature “Snowflake” hands—with cutting-edge watchmaking precision.
Both the Pink and Flamingo Blue editions cater to individuals who embrace self-expression through bold and unexpected colours. While the Black Bay Chrono Pink made an audacious and confident statement, the Flamingo Blue takes a more refined yet equally eye-catching approach, evoking the spirit of adventure and the vibrancy of tropical waters.
The Spirit of Motorsport and Diving Heritage
Since the launch of its first chronograph, the Oysterdate, in 1970, TUDOR has built a strong legacy in high-performance timepieces with deep roots in motorsport. The Black Bay Chrono collection seamlessly fuses this racing heritage with the brand’s renowned diving watch DNA, dating back to 1954.
The result is a chronograph that strikes the perfect balance between elegance and utility. Designed for versatility, the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” is just as at home on the racetrack as it is at sea. The contrasting sub-dials—reminiscent of vintage racing watches—enhance readability, while the robust stainless-steel construction and superior water resistance reinforce its reliability.
The Perfect Blend of Aesthetics and Performance
With the introduction of the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue”, TUDOR once again demonstrates that high-performance watchmaking doesn’t have to conform to tradition. This bold new model—alongside the Black Bay Chrono Pink—highlights the brand’s ability to innovate while staying true to its storied heritage.
For collectors and enthusiasts looking to make a statement, the Flamingo Blue is more than just a watch—it’s a symbol of individuality, adventure, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence.
