Last year, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono Pink captured the spotlight with its bold design, debuting in March and quickly winning hearts.
This January, to chase away the winter blues in the Northern Hemisphere, Tudor introduces an exciting new variant: the Flamingo Blue.
In a strategic move that’s becoming a hallmark of the watch industry, the Flamingo Blue was first glimpsed on the wrists of Tudor’s ambassadors long before it officially launched, sparking curiosity among watch enthusiasts eager for a sneak peek at upcoming releases.
The Debut of Flamingo Blue
The first glimpse of this vibrant chronograph came when the beloved Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou showcased it.
Shortly after, none other than David Beckham was also seen wearing the watch, solidifying its anticipated appeal.
The most noticeable change in this new model is the eye-catching blue dial.
Although the name “Flamingo Blue” might raise an eyebrow—since blue flamingos are not something you’d encounter in nature—the striking tint does grab attention.
Tudor references the color as a nod to the delightful aquatic environments of flamingos, offering a refreshing choice not only for couples but also for anyone seeking a lively twist on the classic blue Black Bay Chrono.
Design and Features
Like its pink counterpart, the Flamingo Blue is expected to fly off the shelves, possibly leading to a challenging acquisition process, with availability limited.
This could result in the same pricing patterns observed in the secondary market previously.
Only time will tell if this vibrant new option will achieve the same level of popularity as its predecessor.
In terms of design and features, the Black Bay Chrono keeps its core elements intact, which include luminous applied markers, a sleek black aluminum bezel insert, and the dependable MT5813 movement.
Additionally, the watch comes with Tudor’s signature five-link Jubilee bracelet, complete with a T-Fit micro-adjustment system in the clasp for added comfort.
