The TUDOR Black Bay Chrono combines two important sides of TUDOR’s heritage: the rugged character of the Black Bay dive-watch collection and the motorsport-inspired functionality of a mechanical chronograph. This 2025 example is presented in mint pre-owned condition and features the highly desirable black “Reverse Panda” dial with contrasting silver chronograph counters, paired with a black leather strap and removable bund.
The 41mm stainless steel case retains the signature proportions and design language of the Black Bay family while incorporating screw-down chronograph pushers inspired by TUDOR’s early chronographs. Polished and satin-brushed surfaces give the case a refined appearance, while a fixed black tachymeter bezel reinforces the watch’s sporting character.
The domed black dial is one of the defining features of this reference. Contrasting silver subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock create the classic Reverse Panda aesthetic, while TUDOR’s signature Snowflake hour hand and luminous hour markers provide unmistakable Black Bay character. The date is discreetly positioned at 6 o’clock to maintain the dial’s balanced, symmetrical layout.
At the heart of the Black Bay Chrono is TUDOR’s Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The movement incorporates a column wheel and vertical clutch and provides an impressive approximately 70-hour power reserve, making it both technically sophisticated and highly practical for everyday wear.
Despite its motorsport-inspired chronograph functionality, the Black Bay Chrono retains genuine sports-watch capability with a screw-down crown and pushers, domed sapphire crystal, and substantial 200-meter / 660-foot water resistance.

The TUDOR Black Bay Chrono is an impressive combination of diving-watch heritage and mechanical chronograph engineering. The black Reverse Panda dial and silver counters give this configuration a strong vintage motorsport character, while the Snowflake handset and robust case construction keep it unmistakably part of the Black Bay family.
Its Manufacture Calibre MT5813 is particularly noteworthy, combining COSC-certified precision with a column-wheel chronograph, vertical clutch, silicon balance spring, and approximately 70 hours of power reserve. Add the 200-meter water resistance, sapphire crystal, screw-down pushers, and substantial stainless steel construction, and the result is a chronograph designed to be genuinely usable as an everyday sports watch.
