Style Edit: Christmas treats in the form of Tudor’s Black Bay and Clair de Rose watches
The Black Bay and Clair de Rose are among the brand’s most famous lineages, and new models add to the options that suit everyone from the sporty to the sophisticated
At the heart of Tudor’s festive line-up is the Black Bay 58 Burgundy. The deep red sunray dial and matching bezel nod to Tudor’s signature shade while keeping things modern and minimalist. Burgundy’s been part of Tudor’s story since 2012, and this year’s update doubles down on that bold legacy.
If you’re after a watch that tells its own story, look no further than the Black Bay 58 Bronze. Bronze has personality – it evolves over time, developing a patina that reflects where you’ve been. Add a warm matte brown dial, matching bezel and vintage-style numerals, and you’ve got a watch that’s as full of character as it is craftsmanship. Under the bonnet? The MT5400 movement with a 70-hour power reserve and an easy T-fit clasp for quick bracelet adjustments.
For bigger wrists or bigger statements, the Black Bay 68 (a bold 43mm) brings serious presence. And for the sporty-chic crowd, the Black Bay Chrono mixes retro racing style with precision performance.
The latter comes in two dial options – the black dial with silver subdials or the icy opaline version – both powered by the MT5813 movement, complete with vertical clutch, column wheel and 70-hour power reserve. It’s the kind of watch that can handle everything from track days to Christmas dinners.
And finally, for a softer, more classic finish, there’s the Clair de Rose. Curved cases, cabochon crowns, and those elegant Tudor blue dials (with or without diamonds) make this collection quietly dazzling. Its supple five-link bracelet feels luxurious, while automatic Swiss movements keep things running smoothly.
