It’s become something of a tradition for TUDOR to line up its latest flex alongside the roar of Formula 1 engines in Miami. And for 2025, the brand’s new Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” does more than keep time—it slashes it, in style. Debuted during the Miami Grand Prix alongside the Visa Cash App RB (VCARB) Formula One team, this new chrono cements TUDOR’s motorsport ties with a literal carbon footprint. This isn’t the first time Miami played launchpad. In 2024, TUDOR dropped jaws with its blue ceramic Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” edition, another nod to its F1 partnership that stood out for its bold monochrome dial and stealthy case. That watch celebrated racing cool with quiet confidence. The Carbon 25? It’s a dragster in comparison—loud, lean, and laser-focused on the finish line.
Every component of the Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 25” screams performance. The 42mm case, the tachymetric bezel, the end-links, even the sub-dials—all hewn from carbon fibre for maximum weight savings. PVD-coated titanium pushers and a hybrid rubber-leather strap with a tyre tread motif keep things on-brand for trackheads. The dial is a domed “racing white,” disrupted by matte black carbon counters and TUDOR’s signature Snowflake hands, luminous and sharp.
Inside beats the Manufacture Calibre MT5813—a COSC-certified movement with column-wheel architecture and vertical clutch, boasting a weekend-proof 70-hour power reserve. Originally derived from Breitling’s B01 but finished to TUDOR’s spec, it’s a testament to how collaboration can result in precision-built muscle.
Unveiled ahead of the 2025 Miami GP with Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar of the VCARB F1 team, the Carbon 25 isn’t just a watch—it’s a piece of the team’s livery. Its design mirrors the bold graphics and monochrome touches of the 2025 race car, and with only 2,025 numbered pieces available, it plays the collector’s game hard.
The titanium caseback wears its individual edition number like a racing badge—each of the 2,025 pieces a nod to TUDOR’s high-octane ambitions for the 2025 season. It’s a statement piece that trades subtlety for swagger—stripped-down in weight but dialled-up in attitude. At ₹6,47,500, it ranks among the most exclusive and technically forward chronographs TUDOR has ever produced, fusing motorsport precision with neo-vintage edge.
