Tudor dropped the NEW Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25”

A Limited-Edition Timepiece Fueled by Speed

Just in time for Formula 1 in Miami, Tudor dropped the Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25″. Designed in partnership with the Visa Cash App RB F1 Team, this limited release blends TUDOR’s racing legacy with modern innovation. With just 2,025 pieces produced, it captures the bold spirit of the 2025 season in every detail.

How Much Is the Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25”?

The TUDOR Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” carries a retail price of $7,575. While I genuinely admire the bold styling, carbon fibre construction, and exceptional finishing on this piece, that price point feels quite ambitious. TUDOR has built its reputation on offering strong value as a more accessible alternative to its big brother, Rolex. This model challenges that positioning. It’s beautifully made—but no longer comfortably priced in the “value proposition” lane where TUDOR has traditionally thrived.

Precision-Built for the Track

This watch doesn’t just nod to racing—it embraces it completely. The 42mm carbon fibre case delivers unmatched lightness and strength. TUDOR even crafted the end-links in carbon fibre and added PVD-finished titanium pushers to enhance durability. Inside, the COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre MT5813 powers the chronograph with impressive efficiency and reliability.

Lighter Than you might expect

Thanks to its carbon fibre build, this watch wears ultra-light on the wrist without compromising toughness. The fixed carbon bezel with engraved tachymeter markings adds to the tool-watch vibe, while the hybrid rubber-leather strap mimics a tire tread for extra grip and visual flair.

How Big Is the Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25”?

This chronograph measures 42mm in diameter, with a case thickness of 14.3mm and a 22mm lug width. The redesigned proportions make it sleek yet aggressive—perfect for high-octane lifestyles.

Engineered Excellence

TUDOR has spent decades perfecting motorsport timekeeping. The Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” is a statement of that passion—rugged, precise, and race-ready. But at this price, it treads closer to Rolex territory than many might expect. A beautiful watch? Undoubtedly. A bargain? That’s up for debate.
