I have a 17cm wrist and this chrono sits better than expected and doesn’t appear as large as it’s dimensions state. That’s why one cannot rely solely on dimensions alone. Great video!
Thanks for sharing. Contemplating a buy. Really like the looks of the watch. I never use a stopwatch but I do like the aesthetics of it. Thickness also doesn't bother me since my daily wearer is a 18mm thick DeepSea James Cameron edition. So +-15mm will be a thin watch for me. Not a huge fan of the tachymeter bezel but don't hate it either. Really love the 2 subdial look versus 3 subdials. So yeah, really interesting watch. It's growing on me
You could also look at the speedmaster 57 they have 2 registers and stacked chrono hands on one of the registers. It’s also a thick girl and comes in a wide range of color and hand options. The movement in those is just as packed with new tech if not more so.
@@rightwristonly8796 Thanks for your comment. However i already have 2 Omega's, so want to try another brand. I used to own a Pelagos which is the only watch i feel i shouldn't have sold so i kinda want another Tudor this time. I really like the brand. Also it has a 200m waterproofing with a screw down crown versus the 100 of the Omega with a push crown. To be honest, i hate watches with a push crown so the Omega Speedmaster 57 is not for me. I understand a screw down crown is not necessary to be waterproof and 100m will do just fine but for me it's important a watch has a screw down crown. Guess it's all in the head but i need one to feel more secure when going for a swim. Thanks for the tip though. Much appreciated :)
It’s a great watch but be sure to try it on before you pick one up. It’s heavy and thick. The new variants are a little thinner but not by much. This video is about the original release
Tudor straps are amazing...I'll take it! ;) And the bracelet is also a show stopper. 36-40mm is the sweet spot and unfortunately, like most BBays except for the 58, it's a bit thick.
I really dig the look of this watch...but at the same time I really hate Tudor for making it unwearable thick...and too large...for my taste. I have a Tudor Prince Date Chronograph, which is just above 39 mm and only 14 mm thick, despite using a 7750...why the hell Tudor doesn't stick with this, already large, sizing. Just sold my 41 mm Black Bay Blue since it's just to big and uncomfortable for everyday wear...looking to get a BB58 instead.
It’s not for everyone. I think it’s at the edge of what I am comfortable wearing. I wouldn’t go any bigger m. It’s thick but for me not too thick. I do wish they made some smaller Chronos but not many companies do.
They are not black. The hands are all high polish silver. It’s harder for the camera to see than you would think but in person they are much easier to see. If they were black I would agree with you but I have never struggled to read any of them. The sub-seconds hand is also silver.

Thank you. I agree you always need to try it on!
What do you think of Tudor’s new chronos? I still think this one is an amazing watch, I love the steel bezel 😘. Are these discontinued, do you know?

no worries. I love my Pelagos! I totally get the desire for a screw down crown.
That must be the Breitling 01 movement?
You are correct. It was modified for Tudor and sadly they took out the 12 hour counter at 6.
I really like this watch!

Yeah if I could only chance one thing about the bb line and the chrono it would be to bring it down 3-4 mm in thickness
this thing is winning me over
Its on the big side. Get one on your wrist first if you're thinking about picking it up.
@@rightwristonly8796 yea I guess that is one of boxes to check before throwing down

It's built like a freaking tank. I love the design but I couldn't wear something so chunky and feel comfortable.
Woo!
that chrono hand and subdial hands being black ruins it,.
