Tudor’s 100th Anniversary watches are here – and there’s one big shock

Tudor has arrived at Watches and Wonders 2026 with one of the most compelling lineups the brand has ever presented. Six watches, but, surprisingly, missing the much anticipated Big Block Chronograph.

The headline act, and no-doubt the best seller, is the Black Bay 58. The fan-favourite diver has been comprehensively upgraded with Master Chronometer certification from METAS – the industry’s most rigorous standard.

It’s also thinner than before at 11.7mm, gains a five-link bracelet option, and now runs on the MT5400-U calibre with a 65-hour power reserve. This is arguably the best Black Bay 58 ever made.

Joining it is an all-new Black Bay 58 GMT. This is the mid-size GMT update Tudor enthusiasts have been waiting for. The 39mm case wears the classic Black Bay 58 proportions, while the burgundy and black bezel with gilt accents channels the glamour of 1950s air travel. What’s new? The Black Bay 58 GMT is now available on a 5-link bracelet.

Critically, it’s also Master Chronometer certified, powered by the MT5450-U with an integrated GMT function. It’s a more elegant, slimmer alternative to the existing 41mm Black Bay GMT, and it looks sensational.

Perhaps the most exciting news for collectors is the Black Bay 54 “Blue”. The 54 line arrived last year as the most historically faithful Black Bay ever made, inspired directly by Tudor’s reference 7922 from 1954.

Now it gets the treatment it deserves: a deep sapphire blue dial and matching bezel in “Tudor blue”. At 37mm, this is a pure, beautiful thing.

Tudor is also pushing its technical boundaries further with the Black Bay Ceramic. First launched in 2021, the all-black diver now gains a newly engineered full ceramic bracelet – no small feat given how difficult the material is to work with.

The 41mm case remains matt black and aggressively stealthy, powered by the MT5602-U with a 70-hour certified power reserve.

Away from the divers, the Tudor Monarch is the most surprising watch of the show. The name has genuine historical weight, it appeared in Tudor catalogues for decades, and now it’s reborn as a 39mm dress-sport watch with a finely faceted case and a warm papyrus-toned dial.

The mix of Roman and Arabic numerals gives it an idiosyncratic, old-world charm that stands apart from anything else in Tudor’s range. The movement – Calibre MT5662-2U, is unique to this watch, features traditional finishing including Côtes de Genève, perlage and an 18ct gold rotor inlay, and carries Master Chronometer certification. It is genuinely special.

Finally, the Tudor Royal line gets a thorough refresh. Three new sizes: 30mm, 36mm and 40mm, now arrive with Manufacture Calibres for the first time.

The bezel has been redesigned with sharper, more precisely cut notches, the bracelet end links have been updated to prevent abrasion, and a wide palette of dial colours makes this the most versatile Royal ever offered. The 40mm gains a day complication.
