At Watches & Wonders 2025, TUDOR presented a focused collection that builds on its long-standing commitment to sport and tool watches. This year’s releases represent a clear refinement of the brand’s core lineup: introducing higher-performance movements, extending METAS certification to more models, and incorporating thoughtful design updates. From the most capable Pelagos to date to nuanced evolutions within the Black Bay line, TUDOR’s 2025 collection reflects a steady move toward precision-focused watchmaking grounded in practical, everyday wearability.
Pelagos Ultra
The most technically ambitious release of the collection, the Pelagos Ultra is TUDOR’s answer to the extreme end of dive watch performance. The watch features a 43mm titanium case constructed from both grade 2 and grade 5 titanium, complete with a helium escape valve and an overbuilt bracelet designed specifically for saturation diving. It’s the first Pelagos to hit a depth rating of 1,000 meters, which is triple the standard model.
The dial has been optimized for legibility, with enlarged snowflake hands, oversized markers, and bi-color lume (green for the minute hand and bezel pip, blue for everything else). Inside is the METAS-certified MT5612-U movement, offering not only COSC-level accuracy but also magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss, a 65-hour power reserve, and certification of waterproofness in six positions at two power levels.
For a brand that already had a strong dive watch pedigree, the Pelagos Ultra feels like a statement of intent. This is not a lifestyle diver, it’s a modern instrument, with all the specs to back it up.
Black Bay 58 Burgundy
The Black Bay 58 sees a thoughtful update for 2025, now offered with a deep burgundy dial and bezel, an aesthetic nod to a prototype Submariner developed by TUDOR in the 1990s that never made it to production. The warm, saturated tones feel both distinctive and period-appropriate, offering a fresh take while staying rooted in the brand’s heritage.
The 39mm case remains the sweet spot for many wrists, and it’s now paired with the METAS-certified MT5400-U movement. This upgrade enhances the BB58’s overall performance, offering improved magnetic resistance, greater reliability, and consistent accuracy under a variety of conditions.
Buyers can choose between a 3-link or 5-link bracelet, or a fitted rubber strap, all with the brand’s practical “T-fit” micro-adjustment system. It’s the most complete and wearable version of the Black Bay 58 to date.
Black Bay 68
The new Black Bay 68 slots into the Black Bay lineup with a larger case than the BB58 and a broader presence on the wrist at 43mm. It’s available with either a sun-brushed TUDOR blue or a silver dial, each clean, classic, and highly legible.
The case measures 43mm in diameter and 13.6mm thick, with polished and satin finishing throughout. A matte black aluminium bezel surrounds the dial, with a domed sapphire crystal providing vintage-adjacent charm. Inside is the METAS-certified MT5601-U movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve and the full suite of anti-magnetic and precision specs that now define the brand’s top-tier calibres.
It’s a clean, highly wearable dive watch for those who prefer a bit more wrist presence than the BB58 but want to retain the vintage-inspired design language.
Black Bay Pro with Opaline Dial
The Black Bay Pro gets its most notable visual update since its debut, thanks to the introduction of a new opaline dial. The creamy, matte finish brings more contrast to the signature snowflake hands and applied indices, enhancing overall legibility and giving the watch a slightly more contemporary feel.
All technical specs remain intact: 39mm case, fixed steel 24-hour bezel, and the in-house MT5652-U movement with true GMT functionality. Now METAS-certified, the movement keeps time to a Master Chronometer standard while resisting magnetic fields and performing consistently under various conditions.
Offered on a stainless-steel bracelet or a rubber/leather hybrid strap, the Black Bay Pro remains one of the most robust GMT options in its category.
Black Bay Chrono
The Black Bay Chrono now offers increased versatility through bracelet options. TUDOR is now offering both 3-link Oyster-style and 5-link Jubilee-style stainless steel bracelets, both fitted with the T-fit clasp for easy adjustment. This update goes a long way in improving fit and daily wearability.
Closing Thoughts
TUDOR’s 2025 collection continues to build on the brand’s reputation for capable, purpose-driven watchmaking. With expanded METAS certification and thoughtful updates to case design, dial legibility, and overall wearability, this year’s lineup underscores a commitment to function and refinement. These are watches made to be worn, engineered to perform, and designed with a level of precision that rewards daily use.
