Of the dozens of new watches from Watches and Wonders in 2021, Tudor’s new releases were some of the most anticipated. In an unexpected move, Tudor announced an updated version of its Black Bay Chrono, with a slimmer case profile as well as new panda and reverse panda dial configurations. I was lucky to get to check out the new watches as soon as they were released, and in this video I’ll go hands on with the new Black Bay Chronos to see if the small updates add up to a big difference on the wrist.

I picked up the panda today as my first luxury time piece and I am so so happy with it. Tudor are flying!!
Definitely a home run for Tudor. I'm leaning toward the black dial.
Not a big collector here. But I ordered a BB58 about 3 years ago. Waited patiently untill I got the call from the dealer about a year ago. When I went there they had the white panda chrono there as well. After wearing it for a few minutes I ordered one and am waiting again....
I hate that most watch newbies think that people who buys Tudor means that they can't afford a Rolex.
This watch is simply stunning.
Agree. I own a DateJust I bought new in 1992 and wore everyday for 25+ years. I love this watch Teddy is reviewing here and tracked one down last week. It’s a major home run if you have a larger wrist IMHO.
I think it’s funny when people assume this, only to realize later my collection is valued over $2 million with several 6 figure pieces.
My assumption of someone that buys a Rolex these days is that they bought on the secondary market because ADs don't sell any diver rolexes in their retail stores anymore.
Spot on. I bought the Tudor panda at the same time as I bought a DJ41. The panda is sexy beast of a watch. I absolutely love it.
I own vintage Rolexes and I love that Tudor is sporting the style that made Rolex Professional Series the watches they were in the 70’s,80’s and 90’s.
You're one of the few that has the accurate measurements for this new model. Subscribed. Always great content.
Great video! I actually got to play with the black dial at my local AD today. While I really like the way they look and think the B01 movement is magnificent, its a big, thick watch that probably won’t be for folks with smaller wrists. If this was a 40mm / 13mm thick piece, it would be a perfect watch and I would probably buy one.
Picked up the black dial and love it!
Teddy thank you for another great video!
Picked up the Reverse Panda 2 days ago. That’s my wrist beautifully, and really is a stunning time peace. And then two days, it has gained only one second.That’s pretty damn good accuracy so far!
My fav watch channel talking about my fav watch of W&W 2021! Outstanding!😁👌
Teddy the best part of your videos is your ability to look at brands the are in a price range most people can afford. Your reviews of such brands like Tudor, IWC, Hamilton, Grand Seiko etc that are overlooked because of higher end brands. Even when you shopped with Mr Wonderful you looked at some excellent choices at affordable prices. Because of your reviews I purchased a Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT and love this watch. Keep up the great work.
I'd like to live in a world where "most people can afford" a Tudor or an IWC.
A great review Teddy, I didn't realize I needed (yet) another chronograph until Tudor released these. My head says go for the reverse Panda for its instant readability and better depth with the more obvious dished sub dials but my heart is looking at the Panda. Decisions.... decisions... money.... money. I think I need to sleep on any purchase decision a while.
Love the Black Bays. Just beautiful timepieces.
Picked one up yesterday in white! Beautiful watch and exactly what my collection needed. I have a modern Rolex and this thing 100% matches the build quality. I have a small/medium wrist and it sits very nicely too!
I didn’t expect to ever buy a Tudor but the reverse panda was one of the most beautiful watches I’d ever seen. Had to get it :) Teddy this video was great! Incredible script, insight and b-roll.
Thanks for the comment, Chris! Enjoy the new watch buddy! Great choice!
Is the reverse panda the white or black face
@R A no it's not. That's what someone who doesn't know what they are talking about or has eaten for breakfast all the marketing Rolex has done and has an enlarged ego. By the way I have multiple Rolex watches and I don't see Tudor as the poor man's watch. I have this new Tudor on order too. You should be happy that people can all enjoy different brands at different price points without dusting off that ever so original phrase you posted.
@R A Got news for you bro, Tudor is putting out some of the most gorgeous watches over the last few years...poor man's Rolex? I think not....that's quite a pretentious thought process.

Great video. I love the standard panda version of this watch! I have the same size wrist as you, so the size is pushing it, but I have an ETA Black Bay red from 2015 and feel that I actually pull it off fine. This time around, though, I've given my wallet a bit of a break and just bought the Hamilton Intra Matic Chrono, which is also a stunner at less than half the price. Though not in the same league, there is something about the Hammy that pulled me in and keeps me staring at it. For this year's Tudor releases, I have my eye on the silver dial Black Bay 36, which is also pulling me in and would fit my wrist perfectly.
I really like the new loom of this watch. I think these two are going to be good sellers for Tudor. I am thinking of purchasing the white panda, it is stunning. I think the reduction in case thickness was a great move by Tudor.
Great options from Tudor! Breitling announced some great offering from their Premier Heritage line! The Premier B09 Chronograph 40 looks great with the pistachio green dial. I look forced to seeing a review 👍 Keep up the great work!
Picked mine Reverse Panda on 4/11. Really impressive watch. Great video.
Bought the Panda version and I fell in love with it right away. I think it was a great piece and would consider it the baby brother of the Daytona. I was lucky to get it since the dealer was only sent one Panda.
Love them. Modern, with a vintage vibe. Beautiful
cool competition as well ..i had lots of fun looking at what was on offer as the potential prize.
I have a Black Bay Chrono it is just an awesome watch. Glad to see Tudor continuing to excel.
Picked up my panda today at the AD so hyped man. Thanks for your videos!
Got my reverse panda a day after they released it. Never gotten a watch so fast
My local AD also had a reverse Panda the day after release, but I passed it on since I want the Panda so still waiting...
I ordered a panda yesterday, best watch under 5000€ in my opinion, can't wait to put it on😻
I purchased the Panda the day after release date. I was so fortunate since they only had one at the retailer that was sent by Tudor. Couldn’t be happier. Don’t tell my wife 😂
Congrats man! Beautiful timepiece!
@@anabohueles2243 Congrats Ana! Best watch under €5’000?! I would rather say best watch under any price point! Why would anyone spend more (usually at least double the price) if you can get this beauty for such a reasonable price with that outstanding package it offers?! This is both a fantastic emotional and rational decision at once.
4:11 I came here for the wrist shots. Wasn't disappointed! Thanks Ted.
As someone who wears the Black Blue Blue 41, I welcome and applaud the reduction in thickness in this release. My only regret is waiting a few days to learn more about this watch before talking to my AD... now I wait for my panda. Thanks for a solid hands-on look at this watch.
This is the best video I have seen on these new chronos. I personally would go with the black dial version. I think this watch offers a relatively fair value for the money.
Relatively fair value for money? I’d rather say exceptional value for money! Anything nearly comparable cost at least 3’000 bucks more!
Beautiful watches, great video. Thanks!
Well done as always!
This is probably my favorite release from W&W 2021. The black dial is very nice, super legible. Considering the specs the price is pretty good in my opinion.
The black dial is a gorgeous timepiece! It’s simply sensational!
Already have my chrono panda. Ad called me the day after she received it. It’s even nicer in person
Wow thats great! congrats you must be a high value customer. My AD said it'll be at least a 6 month wait but most likely a year.
Great overview and detailed analysis. I wonder your thoughts on how it compares to the Zenith chrono (i.e. Zaytona)?
good info. thanks ted
Great video - cool releases.
Excellent review as usual Teddy, I prefer the black dial too 😍
Tudor Had one of the Best Releases, followed by Breitling even though they didn’t partake in Watches and Wonders. The Black Dial is a Stunner and With the Date Option I prefer this over the Roooolex Chrono.
Great new watches. I’m with you. For my wrist, it’s probably too large. I also agree with you-I’d like to see a new, smaller Pelagos and preferably the LHD just because it’s unique and cool.
The reverse Panda looks better. Will get that one. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Teddy, good review! I recently got a S&G version of this watch and it's an absolute treat to wear (same exact case dimensions). The movement is running +/- 1 sec per day after the couple of days break-in period. An under-the radar Daytona cousin with the same or better specs and quality from the same brand family, only with Date! for 1/6th the market price of its older cousin! Go figure...
Sorry what’s a S&G version? Interested because sounds like cheaper…
Great info on the height!
If this watch had a clear back / display case, it’s would be perfect 😍
Thanks for the video Teddy... my favourite is the 36mm Explorer. I'm a little bit torn between new and the old 114270. ... but I think it has to be the new (modern movement, bracelet, lume, 5 year warranty, under crystal anti reflective coating)... but there is a really beautiful video by YoureTerrific that really confused the whole thing for me..... so still not sure which one.. hope you get to review it soon. Thanks
Always find it surprising how many watch brands treat typography like an afterthought. Seems they have used Myriad and Arial, two of the default computer system fonts. It’s not hard to do better. IWC also started to replace their Helvetica numerals with custom ones on the Mark 18.
Just got the panda. I also have a white 116500. Love both! My only Tudor, probably won’t buy another. This watch called to me though.
Your videos are beautiful. Love them. Thank you so much!
Really love the black one. Hope to get one eventually.
I think I would go with the reverse black dial Panda just for legibility.
Great choice! I got one of these myself and it’s a stunner! The silver subcounters match elegantly with the stainless steel case and bracelet. Both versions are extremely nice but I prefer the reverse Panda even a bit more.
No one using watches to tell time anymore noob
Loved their new chronos. But I was waiting for a date complication on their Blackbay , a steel case Pelagos as I’m not a fan of titanium or a black bezel gmt. Would have bought any of those immediately. Maybe next time
I saw this is a shop window yesterday and was caught my eye instantly.
Reminds me a lot of the Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph, but £2.5k cheaper!
I just love the black bay blue in 41 such an underrated watch ref:79230b.
Nice review Ted
I would have hopped on that Reverse-Panda SO QUICK if I wasn't already so damn close to hitting the Retail Price of the SLGH005 from Grand Seiko...
Love both of these, but if I had to choose, I'd take even the SBGA211 (Snowflake) from GS over either of them... And especially the SLGH005 White Birch...
These are some of my favorite chronographs out there though, which surprised me quite a bit considering I've never been a fan of these Tudor hands... But there's so much good, I feel it outweighs my slight issue with the hour hand specifically.
Great video Teddy!
I was a little upset with the second markers that wasnt aligned at some shots! 🤣 great video and great explanation of the watch !
Awesome review.
Thank you 🙌🏻
Both are beautiful watches. However, for me the Panda’s white hands and dial doesn’t make it the easiest watch for glancing the time. Also the snowflake hour hand can obscure the chronograph’s sub dials, making them impossible to read.
Great video as usual . Simply beautiful watch the black chrono would go well with my BB58.
Thank you for the great review as always Teddy! The silver is my next watch.
I ordered the Panda dial. Can't wait!
Got mine on order , not sure how long I have to wait as the AD didn’t want to over promise, but he said the orders were flying in , just goes to show if you hit the right spot the watch public jump on it , well done Tudor , I went for the panda 🐼
Really like the updates they did here. I'd love to see a review on the new Breitling Premier Heritage B09. It's a 40mm hand wound column wheel chronograph with 100M water resistance and it's only 13mm thick. Not sure there's anything else on the market with those specs.
Just got the call from my AD!!! Picking it up tomorrow!!!!
Immediately loved it. Ordered the white face panda.
The new silver black bay is favourite , the case colour is really eye catching.
As usual a superb review ..thanks you for that !
I asked my AD about the Panda today and he told me that I am the first person to ask about this watch in that particular store. He is going to let me know when it comes in. I was considering the Omega Speedmaster Racing co axial, but the Tudor is very similar and at about approximately $2000 cheaper I think I'll buy it. If I get buyers remorse I'll just sell it on and recoup my investment.
The panda is definitely the better looking watch imo. Wasn’t going to get a Tudor but I just might now
They hit a home run with these pieces.
Bought my panda today and love it. Wears ok on my 7” wrist
My head says get the black dial reverse panda for legibility, but my heart will always desire the white dial panda.
Thanks for this video!
explaining the value of the movement
What put me off slightly is the hour markers and that you would normally find them on divers or a GMT. But maybe that's the reason they are smaller than others
Was going to get a Rolex for my 50th been sometime since I had a nice watch. After visiting my local AD I was taken back I had to register my interest etc and go on a list to obtain a watch. I watched a video when these were released and ordered one straight away love this watch looks and feels fantastic. Also ordered the new Zerowest H1 watch which I'm super excited to receive worth searching for a video to watch on these bad boys limited number available also can't wait to get it.
I bought a black bay chrono last March & simply love the look of the watch. I tried various watches including Rolex Omega etc but Tudor style was allot better
Have to preorder this. Getting mine in dec.
Same time with my hd8xx
I have an odd question, and maybe naive, but I've never owned one of these. If the running chronograph goes beyond the 45 marker does it continue to run? Just want to know for timing events beyond 45 minutes. For example 15 = 60 minutes, etc.
Great viedeo👍i am missing the anti reflective glass☹️
Your videos are very informative and interesting... I'm a beginner for watch world and I'm learning alot from your channel. Even though I don't have money to buy those watch's 😂
Love my black bay Chrono 2020. this one is beautiful aswell.
A dream would be !
Amazing pieces!
Saludos!
The panda 🐼 makes a very good looking summer piece 👌
Just scooped the reverse. Stoked. Gonna be the new daily driver. Can’t wait.
Teddy B back at it again
i bought the black one at retail price. i think i have been buying too many watches. just January, i bought a rolex datejust 41 blue fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet. and last year bought a Ball Icebreaker Arabic. This one is truly value for money with excellent quality and power reserve of 80 hours.
Great looking Chrono's!! A shame to see people already selling them w/a huge mark-up on the secondary market.
I would go with either of the 2 version, goodlooking watches.
Love my new chronograph 🐼. Waited 6 months for AD to call me. As Teddy mentioned, stopwatch has firm click to start, stop, & reset.
Love the white dial, but concerned a bit about legibility. Got rid of my white dial Speedy Racing for that reason. Don't want to make the same mistake twice. Another great video Teddy.
I own the panda (white dial) and I can confirm that legibility is really bad, it didn't strike me on the pictures, but the first time that I took it outside it was really hard to actually read the time, I don't get why they didn't put black hands.
This white on white is terrible
The best Tudors I have ever seen....but Longines offers a column wheel chronograph with vertical clutch at an even better price...
I’m so compelled by this watch that I’m almost reconsidering aspiring to it instead of a speedy as my grail watch. I love my Tudor black bay so much I wouldn’t mind adding another to the collection.
The new speedy is amazing and compliments the BB line (I have a 58)
I liked this video before even watching it.
I had the opportunity to pick up the white dial chrono this week and couldn't say no. It's a little spendy but I love it. Great video, Teddy!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to buy:
Option 1: black dial Tudor Black Bay Chrono or Omega Speedmaster; or
Option 2: Tudor Pelagos AND a black dial Bulova Lunar Pilot 43 mm
Hi , could you guys give me some opinion of choosing this one or zenith chronomaster sport, which one do you prefer?
2 dial Omega speedmaster Tudor homage watch ..the white face looks stunning.
gorgeous 2 year allocation wait
You know the Certina DS Blue Ribbon Chronograph? So sad that it's not in the Certina website anymore.
The black Chrono is FIRE! I want one!
Very nice watches. I want the white dial version. My motivation to work hard and get one.
Interesting watch. I'd estimate chronos as my second least favorite watch behind the diver. But of the 3 or 4 premium watches I'll by in my lifetime, I made the Tudor Black Bay slate grey Bronze one of them. It's the beater watch of the bunch. It has a great color scheme and a design that tempts a person to remove the strap and use the case to open beer bottles. I wasn't looking for a diver when I found it. But apparently it is good for 200 meters of coffee spills.
This Tudor is also nice looking. But I went with an Aqua Terra for sport. Something like the Skyflake, perhaps, would be suitable for dress. No rush there. That would leave only a green watch to find. My favorite color. It is oh so tempting to go JLC Reverso for the final watch of the set. This chrono isn't green. A cheap chrono will probably have to do. Sigh. I do like Tudor.
Love the Panda ,love my BB Heritage but the Panda is so nice.
That Panda is my new grail... although I'd prefer a ceramic bezel insert.
Black dial chrono and the bb58 1st release model on a nato strap is the perfect colection. Those 2 are all u need...
would you buy this or wait a little longer for a 40mm airking teddy?
