Fans of Billie Eilish might already know how the song goes. To appropriate the lyrics from her song, Blue, one of TUDOR’s classics previously articulated in black and white is now expressed in blue. TUDOR Blue to be precise.

The new Black Bay Chrono “Blue” Boutique Edition thrives in the liminal space between practicality and luxury. Thanks to the fluidity of its convergent design, it sits sleekly in the intersection between the two overlapping spheres of motorsports and diving. Both elements have played an outsized role in TUDOR’s identity as a watchmaking icon.

The Maison’s maiden dive watch surfaced in 1954, with the Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7922 setting the stage for the brand’s continuous endeavours in producing cutting-edge diving watches. That watch still resonates today, with the year of its birth referenced in the Black Bay 54 collection.

On the other hand, since 1970 when TUDOR launched its first-ever mechanical manually wound model, the Oysterdate chronograph, it has imprinted itself in the consciousness of watch collectors as a chronograph maker to be reckoned with. TUDOR’s repute lies not only in design prowess but also in a commitment to elevating the brand’s watchmaking savoirfaire. The summative Black Bay Chrono “Blue” Boutique Edition is the perfect illustration.
