Just like clockwork, TUDOR hits another high and dives to deeper depths at Watches & Wonders 2025. Fresh hues, sharper refinements, and a new apex diver – TUDOR’s 2025 catalogue leans hard on subtle yet strikingly refreshing evolution, simply bettering what’s already brilliant.
Born to dare, TUDOR goes bigger, bolder, and braver with the Black Bay 68, upsizing the icon while the rest of the industry chases smaller dimensions. This year, we also see a new Black Bay Pro with a crisp opaline dial, a monochromatic sporty duet of Black Bay Chronos, a burgundy-hued Black Bay 58, and TUDOR’s most advanced diver ever, the Pelagos Ultra.
Here’s a birds-eye view of every new TUDOR making waves down at Watches & Wonders 2025, Geneva.
Black Bay 58 – Burgundy Up-Top, Brilliantly Precise Underneath
In the late ‘50s, TUDOR’s pantheon of divers was forging its legend. Built for precision and reliability, this league of professional divers included the 1958 Oyster Prince Submariner ‘Big Crown’ – TUDOR’s first-ever diver capable of immersing to 200 metres. The modern-day TUDOR Black Bay 58 is a tribute to this pioneer, channelling its characteristic proportions, and for 2025, it dons an all-burgundy look. With its dial and unidirectional bezel draped in this striking hue, it’s contrasted by silver indexes, hands, and engravings.
What’s also significant is the automatic calibre MT5400-U’s new METAS Master Chronometer certification which promises waterproofness and resistance against magnetic fields, offering a 65-hour power reserve. With a stainless-steel case sizing 39 millimetres, you may choose between a new five-link bracelet, a three-link bracelet, or a rubber strap, all bearing TUDOR’s T-fit clasp.
Pelagos Ultra – Conquering the Deep
TUDOR’s heart lies in the abyss – audaciously exploring, charting unseen territories. This spirit is channelled in the Black Bay and Pelagos collections, and the all-new Pelagos Ultra takes things to seriously deep waters. Engineered specifically to provide efficiency and reliability during saturation diving, TUDOR claims the Pelagos Ultra to be its most technically advanced diver yet, with a depth rating of 1,000 metres.
Cast in grade 2 and 5 titanium and measuring 43 millimetres wide, the TUDOR Pelagos Ultra boasts not only a compact helium escape valve but also a proprietary bracelet adjustment system which uses a spring-based system to offer a sliding scale of adjustment. Inside, TUDOR’s automatic calibre MT5612-U offers a 65-hour power reserve and is Master Chronometer certified by METAS.
Black Bay 68 – Bigger, Better Dose of BB
Making some ‘big’ moves – going oversized in an era of compact watchmaking. To ensure precision and reliability, the timepiece’s size is also matched by the movement’s Master Chronometer certification by METAS. Sizing in at 43 millimetres of stainless steel, the sun-brushed dial is graced by a silver or ‘TUDOR blue’ hue while the indexes and Snowflake hands. Taking a more traditional and simplistic route, the stainless-steel bracelet boasts a three-link design, satin finishes and TUDOR’s T-fit clasp for micro-adjustment. Running automatic with a 70-hour power reserve, the calibre MT5601-U is COSC and METAS-certified.
Black Bay Pro – A Polar White Dual-Timer
The Black Bay Pro has earned a reputation amongst the geographically capricious and daring explorers as a reliably accurate GMT tool with top-shelf legibility. For 2025, TUDOR unveils a crisp white dial variant of this GMT sports watch, refining its legibility and paying close attention to details.
Featuring a 24-hour graduated satin-brushed fixed bezel with black engravings, it’s contrasted by an opaline dial with black-outlined ceramic indexes and a date window at three o’clock. The yellow ‘Snowflake’ hand is employed as the GMT hand, taking a lap every 24 hours, the watch also features a shorter white ‘Snowflake’ hand, and minute hand. All this is cased in 39 millimetres of stainless steel boasting a polished satin finish. Powering this is a COSC-certified self-winding calibre MT5652 which delivers a 70-hour power reserve. Another interesting avenue about the new Black Bay Pro is its straps – options include a riveted steel bracelet, a woven fabric strap with a yellow stripe, or a rubber and leather hybrid strap.
Black Bay Chrono – Nifty Nudges, Monochromatic Elegance
TUDOR’s ties with the chronometry of motorsports began in the ‘70s when the brand unveiled its first-ever chronograph. As this spirit of racing adrenaline has endured through time, TUDOR’s Black Bay Chrono gets a 2025 update focusing on refinement, gentle evolution, and monochromatic beauty. This sporty-chic racetrack icon sees four new monochromatic references mixing and matching their sub-registers.
Inside, the chronograph calibre MT5813 is self-winding and offers a 70-hour power reserve. The new Black Bay Chrono comes cased in 41 millimetres of stainless steel. Available in a five-link or three-link ‘rivet style’ stainless steel bracelet, inspired by riveted bracelets produced by TUDOR in the ‘50s and ‘60s, they both feature a T-fit rapid adjustment clasp.
