DISCOVER THE NEW TUDOR WATCHES FOR 2024

This year, TUDOR presents two new bold new versions of the Black Bay 58. The first is in 18 ct yellow gold with an open case back, Manufacture Calibre and solid gold bracelet; the second, is an all-new, Master Chronometer certified Black Bay 58 GMT. TUDOR introduces the newest iteration of the Black Bay in monochrome. Representing the latest in Black Bay, this model features evolved design elements, a “T-fit” clasp and is Master Chronometer certified by METAS. On the Clair de Rose, available exclusively in stainless steel with mechanical movements, TUDOR adds a new dial: its brand-signature blue dial.

We have three new Tudor Black Bay 58s. Two are GMTs with a classic "Coke" bezel, and one is an 18-carat gold.

The two GMT models are steel with an oyster-style bracelet and a 39mm case. Tudor describes the bezel as black and burgundy, and it's fair to say that the lower half of the GMT bezel definitely has a mauve hint as opposed to the red we were accustomed to on the GMT-Master II. Nevertheless, it's similar.

The second GMT release is an identical watch, but on a rubber strap, It probably looks better and makes the new Black Bay 58 look a little less like its illustrious predecessor. Both are METAS Master Chronometer certified.

The third new Black Bay 58 is a solid gold model in 18-carat yellow gold with an open case back to reveal the MT5400 COSC movement. This is definitely the top-end Black Bay on the market. The green bezel and dial may well prove to be divisive, but there's no denying that the colour palette Tudor has selected matches the matte gold extremely well and presents a luxurious yet understated look.

Black Bay Monochrome

Next, we have an entirely new Black Bay. The Monochrome version looks a lot like the Submariner, but in every measurable way, it is a completely new watch with a revised bezel, indices, hands, and dial design. The result is quite possibly the best-looking Black Bay to date.

Three versions are available: a classic Oyster bracelet, a Jubilee style bracelet, and a rubber strap, all with the T-Link link micro-adjust system. As with the 58s, these watches benefit from Master Chronometer-certified movements. The case size is user-friendly at 41mm, and the changes, while subtle, become more noticeable the longer you look at the watch. The aluminium bezel is particularly attractive. Again, does it look a bit like a Sub? Yes, it does, but one could argue it's actually better looking.

A new Clair De Rose

Finally, from Tudor, we have a Clair De Rose available in a new "Tudor Blue" dial. Previously, it was only available with a white dial and thermally blued hands and indices, but the transition to a blue dial with silver hands is sophisticated and striking.

The model is available in three sizes: 26mm, 30mm, and 34mm, so the demographic of buyers is relatively clear. Two versions are available, one with Roman numerals and one with diamond indices, although the price differential is not that great. The range enters at £2160 and finishes at only £2890 for the top-end diamond model. Is there a hint of Cartier Ballon Bleu? Perhaps but this is still a very attractive watch. The multilink bracelet is beautiful, finished off with the Tudor Rose lock. Unlike the larger Black Bays, this range has a self-winding calibre T601 with a power reserve of approximately 38 hours.
