As far as hot watch drops go, the new Black Bay Chronograph from Tudor is textbook. Building on from the highly-sought after Black Bay with a ‘Miami pink’ dial that was first spotted on David Beckham’s wrist towards the end of last year, Tudor has now released a new turquoise ‘Flamingo Blue’ version, also on Beckham’s wrist.
Tudor’s latest addition to the Black Bay family — nicknamed ‘Flamingo Blue’ — brings a fresh, eye-catching turquoise dial to the ever-popular collection. Learning from the wildfire hype that was generated by last year’s ‘Miami Pink’ model, it was first seen giving off wrist vibes by David Beckham, the brand’s ambassador since 2017. Known for his knack at endorsing some of the coolest timepieces from the Swiss brand, Beckham’s recent Instagram posts set the watch community abuzz with rumours and speculation.
The rise in limited-edition coloured dials is continuing to shape watch trends, and Tudor seems to be riding that wave confidently with its latest offering. A timepiece isn’t just a means to tell time anymore; it’s an accessory that asserts personality, and the Black Bay Chronograph’s ‘Flamingo Blue’ does exactly that.
In terms of the watch itself, it boasts the impressive MT5813 movement, featuring a balance spring made of silicon and a sturdy 70-hour power reserve. The vibrant shade adds a bold twist to the Chronograph lineup but doesn’t stray from the brand’s tradition of iconic blue hues seen in classics like the Snowflake and Submariner models.
Joining the ranks of other vibrant blue-infused releases such as Doxa’s Sub 200 Aquamarine and Breitling’s SuperOcean Turquoise, Tudor has clearly embraced the colourful trend that’s been gripping the wristwatch world. This turquoise beauty is also a nod to the luxurious yet strikingly interactive Patek Philippe Tiffany dial that shocked the auction world not long ago.
