With the Tudor Black Bay 68, we invite all diving watch and fine watchmaking enthusiasts to (re)discover the perfect balance between heritage, innovation, and wrist presence. Unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2025, this model has already established itself as a highlight for those who seek a bold style, state-of-the-art technology, and a deep connection to Tudor’s rich heritage. Let’s dive together into the world of this new piece with its assertive character and exemplary finishing.

Heritage and Philosophy: The Black Bay Spirit in a Larger Format

Since 2012, the Black Bay collection has captivated watch lovers with models inspired by Tudor’s iconic dive watches from the 1950s to the 1970s. This lineage—renowned for robustness, legibility, and luminous indices—now welcomes the Black Bay 68, a model designed to honor both the historic “Snowflake” design (1968) and contemporary standards of excellence.

With its 43 mm diameter, the Black Bay 68 sets a new milestone: it pays tribute to the audacity of the 1960s while claiming an unmistakable wrist presence. The introduction of this generous case is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a visually striking watch with high-end finishing and a clear attachment to the brand’s history. This larger size brings it closer to models like the Black Bay Pro, which also offers a technical, sport-driven take on Tudor heritage.

Technical Details: Concentrated Innovation and Strength

The Tudor Black Bay 68 stands out with specifications that meet the demands of top collectors and athletes:

• 43 mm stainless steel case (thickness: 13.6 mm, lug-to-lug: 51.8 mm), alternating polished and satin finishes to combine strength and elegance.
• Unidirectional rotating steel bezel with black aluminum 60-minute insert, perfect for safety during dives or sporting activities.
• Domed dial available in two versions: sunray satin TUDOR blue—a nod to the brand’s historic DNA—or sunray satin silver for a more contemporary touch.
• Domed sapphire crystal with exceptional durability.
• “Snowflake” hands and indices—an icon since 1968—coated with green-emission Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility in all conditions.
• Screw-down crown with the Tudor rose in relief, ensuring water resistance certified to 200 meters (20 ATM).

The three-link steel bracelet, without rivets, features a satin/polished finish and the all-new T-fit folding clasp for precise, quick adjustment across five positions. Comfort and solidity are ensured by ceramic ball bearings that deliver a secure, pleasing closure.

This rigorous technical approach is also found in other emblematic references in the collection, such as the Black Bay 58 with its more compact 39 mm case, or the Black Bay Bronze, which explores noble materials with a bronze case that develops a unique patina over time.

A Manufacture Caliber, Certified Master Chronometer

At the heart of the Black Bay 68 beats the MT5601-U manufacture caliber, a self-winding movement with bi-directional rotor:

• 70-hour power reserve (“weekend-proof”), so you can set it down on Friday and pick it up on Monday still running.
• Master Chronometer certification by METAS: guarantees accuracy between 0 and +5 seconds/day, resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, and flawless water resistance—an industry-wide hallmark of excellence.
• Variable-inertia balance, traversing bridge, silicon balance spring, and a tungsten monobloc rotor with fine decoration: every technical detail is engineered for stability, durability, and elegance.

The Black Bay 68 is therefore much more than a dive watch: it has become a symbol of innovation and the high standards that Tudor now places at the heart of every creation. This mechanical excellence is also embodied in specialized models such as the Black Bay Chrono with its chronograph function, or the Black Bay GMT for demanding travelers.

Price and Availability

The Tudor Black Bay 68 starts at €4,700 for the steel bracelet version, depending on dial and bracelet configurations. This pricing is justified by the build quality, Master Chronometer certification, and the internationally recognized Black Bay design.

We also offer multiple payment facilities (3, 4, or 10 monthly installments at 0% via Alma), as well as secure home delivery options or in-store pickup at CAP 3000 in Nice for added comfort and peace of mind.
