Tudor keeps pushing the boundaries
Five new models extend the brand’s mastery of sports-chic, vintage-inspired and professional-grade watchmaking
TUDOR’S appeal has always been rooted in its ability to bridge worlds: vintage sensibilities sharpened by modern craft, tool-watch toughness tempered by fine design. The manufacture’s 2025 novelties push these dualities even further, spanning everything from gem-set elegance to deep-diving extremes.
Royal Blue
The Tudor Royal has long represented the brand’s ethos of sports chic: a versatile watch with an integrated five-link bracelet, fluted bezel and automatic movement.
This year, it gains a touch of theatre with a striking blue dial paired with diamonds across both bezel and markers. The result is unapologetically bold, particularly in the 28 mm execution, where stainless steel or two-tone cases are offered.
For all the sparkle, the Royal remains a serious watch. It is waterproof to 100 m, with a screw-down crown, sapphire crystal and the T201 calibre providing reliability and accuracy.
Black Bay 54 Lagoon Blue
Few collections speak as directly to Tudor’s roots as the Black Bay line, and the 54 is the purest homage to the brand’s first Submariner – Reference 7922. The new Lagoon Blue edition takes this historic blueprint and filters it through the lens of summer leisure.
At 37 mm, the watch stays true to vintage proportions, while a sand-textured blue dial and mirror-polished bezel call to mind the sea and sky.

The manufacture calibre MT5400 keeps the watch firmly in the present, with COSC certification, a silicon balance spring and a 70-hour power reserve.
Completing the package is a five-link steel bracelet with the brand’s T-fit clasp: an ergonomic touch that ensures this evocative diver is as comfortable as it is nostalgic.
Black Bay 58 Burgundy
This year’s all-burgundy edition Black Bay 58 cements its reputation as something of a cult classic among collectors. Inspired by a 1990s prototype that never reached production, it pairs a radial-brushed burgundy dial with a matching bezel insert.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the watch has also become Master Chronometer-certified, a first for the 58. Tested by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (Metas), it meets stringent standards for magnetic resistance, precision and power reserve.
The MT5400-U calibre underlines these credentials with a silicon hairspring and 65 hours of autonomy. Offered on a five-link bracelet, a rivet-style bracelet or a rubber strap, all with rapid-adjustment clasps, it combines vintage allure with modern precision.
Pelagos Ultra
If the Royal represents Tudor at its most urbane, the new Pelagos Ultra embodies the brand’s uncompromising technical side.
Built to withstand the demands of saturation diving, it carries a depth rating of 1,000 m. Its 43 mm titanium case incorporates a helium escape valve, oversized markers with dual-colour lume, and a proprietary clasp with a luminous indicator system.
Inside beats the MT5612-U calibre, Master Chronometer-certified by Metas, ensuring accuracy even under magnetic stress. A titanium bracelet with a diver’s extension and a supplementary rubber strap complete the package.
Most owners may never venture past the pool, but that is hardly the point. The Pelagos Ultra is a proof of concept, a watch designed for extremes.
Black Bay 68
The trend in watchmaking has been to go smaller, but Tudor defies convention with the new Black Bay 68. Its 43 mm case introduces the largest expression of the Black Bay yet.
Two dial options – sun-brushed silver or Tudor Blue – are paired with a black bezel, while a new rivetless bracelet ensures modern ergonomics. The MT5601-U calibre, also Master Chronometer-certified, delivers 70 hours of power reserve and magnetic resistance to 15,000 gauss.
With its scale and presence, the Black Bay 68 brings a different dimension to a line already celebrated for its range.
