In March final yr, Tudor revealed a daring model of its Black Bay Chrono with a pink dial. Main as much as the discharge, some individuals already noticed the watch on David Beckham’s and Jay Chou’s wrists. The identical occurred this week with, once more, British soccer famous person David Beckham and Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou.

Effectively, in the present day, Tudor takes away all our doubts as a result of the brand new Tudor Black Bay Chrono with a “Flamingo Blue” dial is now formally out there, even to non-superstars.
Pink is a coloration extra manufacturers mess around with once in a while, particularly on restricted editions associated to the combat in opposition to breast most cancers, for instance. In Tudor’s case, there isn’t a particular trigger behind the usage of these tropical colours apart from the Miami South Seashore vibe that serves as a theme. Oh, and should you thought blue flamingos didn’t exist, you’re completely proper.
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue”
It’s humorous as a result of final yr’s pink model of the Black Bay Chrono was merely known as “Pink.” Surprisingly sufficient, the brand new turquoise model is known as “Flamingo Blue.” Anyway, let’s get proper to the specs, which aren’t all too stunning. The Tudor Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” has the identical 41mm chrome steel case as the opposite Black Bay Chrono fashions within the assortment. Meaning the lugs span 50.1mm from tip to tip, and the case, together with the double-domed sapphire, is 14.4mm thick.

What do you assume?
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono has a relatively authentic dial coloration, particularly due to the “Flamingo Blue” title. Final yr’s pink model was already very fashionable. I count on this turquoise model to be much more standard, to be sincere.

Neither of those Miami South Seashore fashions are restricted editions, but it surely simply appears Tudor has a tough time maintaining with the demand.
