TUDOR’S 2025 NOVELTIES AT WATCHES and Wonders Geneva demonstrate a thoughtful evolution of its core collections. From the refined burgundy charm of the Black Bay 58 to the uncompromising deep-sea capability of the Pelagos Ultra, and the expanded size and bracelet options within the Black Bay range, Tudor continues to offer compelling timepieces that blend heritage-inspired design with modern engineering and exceptional value.
Black Bay 58 Burgundy
The Black Bay 58, celebrated for its perfectly balanced 39 mm case and vintage-inspired aesthetics, now arrives in a sophisticated burgundy guise. Echoing a 1990s prototype, the new Black Bay 58 Burgundy exudes a timeless charm with its deep red dial and matching unidirectional bezel.
This elegant yet sporty iteration is available with Tudor’s signature three-link “rivet-style” bracelet, a sleek five-link bracelet, or a practical black rubber strap, all featuring the ingenious Tudor “T-fit” rapid adjustment clasp for ultimate comfort on the wrist.
Beyond its striking new colourway, this Black Bay 58 boasts a significant technical upgrade: Metas Master Chronometer certification. This rigorous independent testing guarantees exceptional precision, magnetic resistance and water resistance.
Powering this beauty is the in-house calibre MT5400-U made by Kenissi, providing a robust 65-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability for everyday wear. The Black Bay 58 Burgundy seamlessly blends vintage appeal with cutting-edge performance, making it a compelling choice for discerning watch enthusiasts.

Black Bay 68
Expanding the Black Bay family with a more substantial presence is the new Black Bay 68. This larger 43 mm stainless steel timepiece offers a bolder wrist presence while retaining the classic Black Bay design DNA. Available with either a sophisticated sunburst silver dial or a signature Tudor Blue dial, both iterations feature a crisp 60-minute unidirectional black bezel and the recognisable “Snowflake” hands.
The Black Bay 68 is powered by the Metas Master Chronometer-certified Manufacture Calibre MT5601-U, providing a generous 70-hour power reserve. It is presented on a classic three-link bracelet with smooth side flanks, offering a comfortable and secure fit. The introduction of the Black Bay 68 caters to those who appreciate the Black Bay aesthetic in a more contemporary, larger size.

Pelagos Ultra
Taking the Pelagos line to new depths, Tudor introduces the formidable Pelagos Ultra. This purpose-built dive watch is engineered for serious underwater exploration, boasting an impressive 1,000 m water resistance within its robust 43 mm titanium case (a combination of Grade 2 and Grade 5 for optimal strength and lightness). A helium escape valve further underscores its professional diving credentials.
The Pelagos Ultra features a highly legible matte black dial with generously sized luminescent markers and the iconic “Snowflake” hands. A thoughtful touch for divers is the dual-colour lume: blue for standard time indications and a distinct green for the minute hand and bezel triangle, crucial for timing dives. The unidirectional rotating bezel with a scratch-resistant ceramic insert ensures accurate and reliable dive timing.
Beneath the surface, the Pelagos Ultra is powered by the Metas Master Chronometer certified Manufacture Calibre MT5612-U, offering a 65-hour power reserve. It comes equipped with a titanium bracelet featuring a spring-loaded adjustable clasp for a secure fit over a wetsuit, and a complimentary black rubber strap with titanium pin buckle and end-links for versatile wear. The Pelagos Ultra is a testament to Tudor’s commitment to creating high-performance instruments for the most demanding environments.

Black Bay Chrono
The sporty Black Bay Chrono receives an update focused on enhanced versatility. While retaining its 41 mm steel case and the choice of a striking matte black dial with silver sub-dials or an elegant opaline dial with black sub-dials, the chronograph now offers the option of both a three-link and a five-link bracelet. Crucially, both bracelet options are now equipped with the practical Tudor “T-fit” clasp, allowing for fine-tuned adjustments on the go.
Powering the Black Bay Chrono is the COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a high-performance chronograph movement that ensures smooth and precise operation. It also boasts a robust 70-hour power reserve. The addition of versatile bracelet options with the “T-fit” clasp elevates the everyday wearability and comfort of this popular chronograph.
