Tudor Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” Celebrates Racing Legacy

Fuelled by five decades of racing heritage, this ultra-light timepiece merges high-performance materials with motorsport design flair. Limited to 2 025 pieces, it’s a pit-lane pass between the brand’s adrenaline-fuelled past and future.

This special-edition Black Bay Chrono is all about lightness, legibility, and legacy. Using carbon fibre across the case, bezel, end-links, and sub-counters (the latter simply to show they can) reduces weight dramatically – ideal for timing with speed and precision. The “racing white” dial, punctuated by carbon fibre sub-counters, takes visual cues from the 2025 Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One Team car. It’s a motorsport marvel, backed by COSC-certified accuracy and five decades of chronograph excellence.

Key features

  • Full carbon fibre case and bezel: Lightweight, ultra-tough and thinner than the steel versions; 42mm case with fixed carbon fibre tachymetric bezel. The caseback is titanium with a PVD finish.
  • Racing-inspired dial: Domed “racing white” dial with contrasting carbon sub-counters, black outlined Snowflake hands, and Grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova for visibility.
  • Precision powerhouse: Manufacture Chronograph Calibre MT5813 – COSC-certified with column wheel and vertical clutch, 70-hour power reserve, silicon balance spring. Tudor beats the COSC standard, applying a -2/+4 seconds variation standard on the assembled watch.
  • Collection characteristics: bevelled lugs and Tudor rose-signed crown
  • Limited edition: Only 2 025 pieces, each engraved with its individual number.
  • Strap and extras: Hybrid strap with carbon fibre end-links and a five-year transferable guarantee – no registration or check-ins required.

This is the lightest, leanest Black Bay Chrono to date, with its refined case proportions and technical upgrades placing it firmly in the fast lane. Tudor has drawn on its deep racing roots – from the 1960s Porsche campaigns in Japan to today’s Formula One partnerships – to build a watch that’s as much about performance as it is about presence.

Whether you’re trackside or just dreaming of the podium, the Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” delivers a full-throttle fusion of watchmaking prowess and motorsport cool. A limited edition with everyday wearability and cutting-edge mechanics – it’s an instant collector’s piece that won’t sit idle for long.
