Tudor continues its partnership with the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One Team into the 2025 season and unveils the Black Bay Chrono Carbon 25, a stunning chronograph inspired by the Racing Bulls' 2025 livery, featuring an ultra-light carbon fibre case.

While the case diameter remains familiar at 42mm, this new reference (79377KN) introduces a redesigned carbon fibre case that trims the thickness slightly to 14.3mm, just a touch slimmer than the standard steel model (14.4mm). The bezel is fixed and made from the same lightweight material, engraved with a tachymeter scale, and surrounds a domed sapphire crystal that protects the dial. The components are built for resilience: screw-down titanium pushers and caseback with a PVD finish, along with a PVD-coated steel crown, help maintain a robust 200m water resistance.

The racing white dial is accented with blue seconds indices, a red water resistance rating, and carbon fibre sub-dials. A date window appears at 6 o’clock, while Tudor’s signature Snowflake hands and round hour markers are outlined in black and filled with white Super-LumiNova.

Powering the watch is the Calibre MT5813, based on the Breitling B01. It’s a COSC-certified automatic chronograph equipped with a column wheel and a silicon balance spring. Beating at 28,800 vph (4Hz), it offers a power reserve of 70 hours. The watch comes fitted with a hybrid leather-rubber strap featuring a tire tread pattern and blue stitching, secured by a blackened pin buckle.

The Black Bay Chrono Carbon 25 is limited to 2,025 pieces, each individually numbered, and is priced at EUR 7,400, equivalent to AED 28,740.
