Tudor’s 2025 new releases play like a greatest hits album
At Watches & Wonders, the watchmaker announced it has retooled a number of fan-favourites
By Cayle Reid
YOU KNOW WHEN an artist or band has spent so long topping the charts that they package all their best songs together into a greatest hits album? Whatever the watchmaking equivalent of that is, it’s what Tudor has just done at Watches & Wonders.
Tudor turned up to Geneva with a suite of showstopping new releases in tow. While most brands announce a few tweaks to a handful of their models at the biggest event in the watchmaking world, Tudor has gone a few steps further, with five new versions of their flagship watches.
Tudor’s sister company, Rolex, opened the show by announcing a brand-new model, the Land-Dweller. But let’s face it, seeing as it retails at a minimum of $22,700, and a maximum that’s in the vicinity of $200,000, the Land-Dweller is out of most of our price ranges. Tudor watches on the other hand, with their more reasonable pricing, are more within reach, meaning they’re just as – if not more – deserving of our attention.
Tudor manages to keep its prices down despite using in-house Swiss movements and nothing but the finest materials. It’s a brand that balances heritage with innovation, and its latest releases are aimed at deepening that reputation. There’s a Black Bay 58 with a new Burgundy theme, a dive watch built for genuine deep sea exploration and plenty more.
Here, we take a closer look at each new model.
What new Tudor watches were revealed at Watches and Wonders 2025?
Black Bay 58
Headlining Tudor’s new releases is a new version of the watchmaker’s most popular watch, the Black Bay 58. It gets a new burgundy-hued dial and bezel, a colour scheme it borrows from a ‘90s prototype of a Tudor Submariner. It also gets the METAS Master Chronometer treatment for the first time, but sticks with a 39mm case. Inside, the MT5400-U movement powers the watch and offers a 65-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties. The new Black Bay 58 comes with either a 5-link bracelet, 3-link rivet-style bracelet, or rubber strap.
Pelagos Ultra
Tudor is plunging to even greater depths with the introduction of the Pelagos Ultra, the ultimate dive watch. Designed specifically for saturation divers – which is basically just regular diving, but for a longer period – the Pelagos Ultra is a 43mm titanium beast with a whopping 1,000-metres of water resistance. It’s effectiveness is boosted by a helium escape valve and dual-colour lume to ensure legibility. The MT5612-U Master Chronometer movement is at the heart of the watch for excellent precision and the requisite magnetic resistance needed to survive a voyage into the deep.
Black Bay 68
Over the last few years, watches have been undergoing a gradual shrinkage, as a sentiment that smaller is better has taken hold. Tudor seems to be heading in the opposite direction, however, introducing the Black Bay 68, the largest entry in the Black Bay range, with a 43mm case. The new watch comes with either Tudor’s signature blue dial or sunburst silver. Both models boast a sleek black bezel. The MT5601-U Master Chronometer movement sits inside, providing an impressive 70 hours of power reserve.
Black Bay Pro
Tudor has given the Black Bay Pro a high-contrast revamp with a new opaline dial for improved legibility. The same 39mm case remains, as does the fixed 24-hour bezel and the MT5652 GMT movement. The bolded snowflake hands and ceramic markers are new, creating a pop against the soft-coloured dial.
Black Bay Chrono
Last of all, the Black Bay Chrono makes a triumphant return with a new case profile and dial layout that serve as an homage to fifty years of Tudor chronographs. Two dial options are available, classic black with silver subdials or opaline with black subdials. At 41mm, the Black Bay Chrono is a robust sports watch that boasts the MT5813 movement, which features a vertical clutch, column wheel and 70-hour power reserve. Adding to the sporty aesthetic are touches like the domed sapphire crystal and vintage-inspired steel pushers, which hark back to the racing chronographs of yesteryear.
