Top Tudor timepieces to gift this Christmas
‘Tis the season for bold colours, heritage design and exceptional craft
THIS YEAR, TUDOR LEANS INTO the seasonal magic with a Christmas line-up that feels both nostalgic and daring – timepieces steeped in heritage yet sharpened for our modern times.
From the moonlit elegance of the Clair de Rose to the bold new Black Bay 68 and the richly hued Black Bay 58 in burgundy, the brand brings a spectrum of moods for every kind of wrist and every kind of celebration.
Black Bay 68
In 2025, Tudor introduced the Black Bay 68 – the kind of spectacular, larger-than-life timepiece that feels tailor-made for the holidays.
The new 43 mm Black Bay is pure swagger: a bold case, a shimmering sun-brushed dial in either silver or Tudor Blue, and the kind of presence that holds its own beside the twinkle of Christmas lights.
In true Tudor tradition, it more than looks good. It carries Metas Master Chronometer certification, one of the industry’s most exacting honours. So it keeps time with mythic precision, shrugs off magnetic fields and retains a “weekend-proof” 70-hour power reserve.
The Snowflake hands glow with Grade A Super-LumiNova, ready for all manner of dark Christmas celebrations, while a sleek, rivet-less steel bracelet with the T-fit clasp completes the ensemble.
It’s a watch that nods to the brand’s seven-decade dive-watch lineage while carving out its own contemporary silhouette.
Price: S$6,680
Black Bay 58
Few watches feel as perfectly attuned to the warmth of the holidays as the Black Bay 58 in burgundy – rich, glowing and irresistible.
Long adored by enthusiasts for its vintage soul and Goldilocks 39 mm proportions (meaning it’ll suit just about any wrist), the BB58 returned in 2025 with something even more covetable: full Master Chronometer certification, placing Tudor’s most charming diver squarely among the greats.
The burgundy edition draws from a whispered piece of Tudor lore – a brilliant wine-red Submariner prototype from the 1990s that never made it to production. Now, the idea finally gets its moment.
The subtly domed dial catches light like mulled wine, while the matching bezel frames the iconic Snowflake hands in Grade A Super-LumiNova.
There’s a trio of straps to choose from – five-link, rivet-style three-link or rubber – each equipped with the ever-practical T-fit clasp.
The BB58 Burgundy is the perfect Yuletide timepiece: classic, modern and wrapped in a colour that makes the season feel a little more luxurious.

Clair de Rose
You could think of the Clair de Rose as that quiet midnight carol sung at home – soft, luminous and understated.
The maison’s most feminine line has been refreshed with a new “Tudor Blue” dial, a colour long woven into the brand’s heritage since its Submariner days, now reborn in a gentler and more romantic register.
Available in three sizes (26, 30 and 34 mm), the new Clair de Rose is all smooth curves and polished surfaces. Its signature winding crown is tipped with a blue spinel cabochon like a tiny ornament. Its supple five-link “beads of rice” bracelet drapes around the wrist like elegant jewellery.
Dials come in opaline or deep Tudor Blue, and edged with Roman numerals or diamonds.
Put together, it is a stylish modern heir to Tudor’s 1930s jewellery watches, and a perfect companion for the holidays.
