Tudor sets the mood for Christmas
From its iconic Black Bay to the feminine Clair de Rose, there’s something for all tastes
Black Bay 58 Bronze
Encased in satin-brushed bronze with a matching bronze bracelet – a first for the iconic model – this 39-mm timepiece gracefully evolves over time, reflecting its owner’s individuality. It makes for a highly personal Christmas gift, and is available only in Tudor boutiques.
For its completely bronze look, the domed dial and bezel of this diver’s watch – the naval inspiration is seen in every detail – adopt a new colour palette based on a rich “brown bronze” tone.
The colour is also an aesthetic nod to the Black Bay’s history with the naval world, namely the bronze features on old ships and other deep-sea diving equipment. The high-performance alloy used in this case was especially utilised in naval engineering for submerged parts, such as propellers, to protect against corrosion.
The Black Bay 58 Bronze is powered by an in-house automatic movement which is certified for precision by COSC, the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
Price: S$6,990
Black Bay 31/36/39/41
Sophisticated yet versatile, this Black Bay watch in stainless steel with a fixed bezel comes in four different sizes: 31 mm, 36 mm, 39 mm, and 41mm – perfect for any wrist. Paired with a five-link bracelet with Tudor’s “T-fit” clasp that allows rapid adjustment, the timepiece displays elegant hues of anthracite, blue or light champagne in the dial, with or without diamond settings.

The timepiece’s case features seductive curves, with a combination of finishes for a contemporary look. With polished and domed sides in all available sizes, the soft silhouette of the case is accentuated by a new curved winding crown. What’s more, the polished bezel and crown are carried over from the steel and gold models rolled out last year.
The Black Bay 31/36/39/41 is powered by an in-house self-winding movement fitted with a non-magnetic balance spring. The movement, which has a power reserve of 70 hours for the large and mid-sized models, and 50 hours for the small timepieces, is certified for precision by COSC.

Clair de Rose
Refined and timeless, the Clair de Rose is a cutting-edge jewellery timepiece. This year, it also gets a lift with a brand new “Tudor blue” dial.
The signature colour of the brand was first introduced in 1969, on the Tudor Submariner watch. “Tudor blue” is not a specific shade, but points to how the hue has come to be closely associated with the marque, appearing often in its collections.
Available in stainless steel with mechanical movements, the Clair de Rose comes in three sizes – 26 mm, 30 mm, and 34 mm – each with two designs.
A classic Tudor feminine line, the name Clair de Rose refers to both “clair de lune” – “moonlight” in French – and the brand’s trademark logo, the rose. In addition to the new “Tudor blue” dial, the model also has an opaline face. Both are delicately decorated in relief and punctuated with Roman numerals or diamonds. The case is gently curved in the middle, flaunting a striking winding crown set with a blue spinel cabochon.
