Introducing the New Black Bay Chrono ‘Pink’ from Tudor

Soon after announcing that Tudor has become the official timekeeper of David Beckham’s football club, Inter Miami CF, the brand has released a pink-dial Black Bay Chrono. The watch was originally created in collaboration with brand ambassador Jay Chou, a Taiwanese singer and musician. It is now being released to the public. An unexpected offering from Tudor, the piece is definitely an eye-catching novelty.
The Colour that Binds
For Tudor’s brand ambassadors, there are no rules when it comes to colours. Anyone who is a fan of Jay Chou will know that pink is his signature colour while Inter Miami CF too generously uses pink for aesthetic purposes ― two strong reasons why Tudor has chosen the colour for its latest Black Bay Chrono.
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono ‘Pink’ will be a limited-edition release; the brand seems to be aiming at the bold, eclectic collector with this piece.
Specs Matter
The 41 mm satin-brushed and polished case in 316L stainless steel houses a domed pink dial with contrasting circular sub-counters. A fixed bezel in stainless steel, complete with a tachymetric scale insert in black anodised aluminium, ensures a sporty look. The “Snowflake” hands, one of the hallmarks of the Tudor divers’ watches introduced in 1969, accentuate the dial. Taking inspiration from the first generation of the brand’s chronographs, the dial layout includes a 45-minute counter and a date aperture positioned at 6 o'clock.
The watch runs on Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813, certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), with a silicon balance spring. It offers a 70-hour power reserve. The watch is presented on a five-link bracelet in stainless steel, along with a Tudor “T-fit” rapid adjustment clasp.
A Fresh Take on a Classic
All in all, the latest Black Bay Chrono ‘Pink’ retains all quintessential characteristics of the Black Bay range, such as the angular hands known as “Snowflake”. Even with its neo-vintage look, the watch is a product of modern manufacturing techniques.
