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 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.
@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.
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.
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.
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 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 😂
@@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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Question for anyone familiar with this watch: Does the large second hand ever stop and have to be restarted or will it run continuously as long as the watch has power. I only ask because I have a couple of chronographs that stop at noon on the hour and you have to press the 2 o clock button to restart 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
After seeing both the black bay pro and the panda daytona in person I would love to own both. If i had to choose it would be the Tudor. The daytona is a little underwhelming in person when it come to size. I currently wear an SD43 so that might be why i chose how i did.
I got one of the very first ones when they came out, with leather strap. Amazing accuracy: +0.20 sec/day with chronometer engaged ( I like the long second hand to run). Strap lasted only 2 years, but local strap maker made a stronger and nicer looking one using the original clasp for about 75% less than the Tudor original one. Great watch, and a bargain actually.
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.
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.
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.
Ok... I WANT TO LOVE THESE - and in theory I do! I love the way they look, I love the dials, I love the thickness..... BUT it's much too big to wear! I'll wear some bigger watches as well! But just that weeeee bit too big! Looks amazing in photos though! So freaking sporty.
How does the Chronograph work? It looks like the 3 o’clock dial goes to 45. Does this mean that it only times up to 45 minutes? This seems strange when other Chronographs such as Breitlings time up to 12 hours.
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.
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
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.
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.
Quick general question and need some advice from anyone who can help. Looking to buy my first 'proper' watch and I have thin wrists. About 5.9~/6 inches. I have a decent budget of between £150-£700~ (yes it's varied), and I have some watches in mind that are round 34~mm such as; -Timex marlin hand-wound -Junghans max bill manual wind -Naos XS silver -vintage Omega Seamaster 34mm But as it's my first proper watch, do I risk going for vintage? Or just go for new seeing as it's first watch? I'd prefer a casual type watch and my eyes are on the Junghans so far, but need to find more 34mm~ watches
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.
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.
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.
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.
While using chronograph function, when I reset it, sometimes the minute chrono hand stops at 1 min. mark instead of 0 mark. And sometimes while starting chrono, the min. chrono hand moves to 1 min. mark straightaway when chrono is started. Is this a common issue? Any suggestions for this problem or it needs Service Centre attention?
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.
I like the Panda, but being a bit colorblind, I can’t really read the time on it. There is not enough contrast on the hour and minute hand. A watch has one job…. 😢
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!
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.
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...
Tough choice i like both! Just checked out new blue but it’s a bit too flashy for me. Question: anyone purchased from Jomashop? Whats scoop with them being $1k less than retail… to good to be true. At this price point I think I will just go to a Tudor boutique- seems like a safer bet. Thoughts and comments greatly appreciated Awesome reviews Teddy! You rock
I do not understand all of the fanfare. Unless I am missing something, all Tudor seems to have done was to have taken the 2017 released version of the Black Bay Chrono and instead of a black on black dial having a metal bezel with black numbers and an unpainted chrono second hand to now have panda dials, a bezel with reverse painted numbers and a red tip on the chrono second hand. Don't get me wrong, the 2017 issued Black Bay Chrono is a 41mm, 200 m, 70 hour reserve, COSC certified Vertical Clutch Column Wheel Chronograph that wears well and lives up to the COSC time keeping ability.
The reverse Panda is the piece, looks and wears better than the Daytonas I’ve owned at a fraction of the price. Still wear a 41mm Sub and my ceramic Pepsi, but this is my chronograph ☝🏻🥴
I love the overall aesthetic of this timepiece-and out of the entire Black Bay line-the Heritage Chronograph with the white panda dial is my favorite. But I can't get past the fact that in this price class Tudor uses an aluminum bezel and has no sapphire crystal. And although some will hold up Omega Speedmaster as possible comparison on these points of criticism-I'd say the Speedmaster brings more watch to the table than the Heritage Black Bay Chronograph in level of refinement and the fact that you can at least get a better crystal in the Speedmaster as well. The other issue is that it mostly seems to be little more than a timepiece in more approachable price point for someone who wants panda dial Rolex Daytona and can't or won't pay the stratospheric premiums to obtain a timepiece bearing the crown symbol.
Definitely a home run for Tudor. I'm leaning toward the black dial.
I tried it on and it's so damn nice
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....

Is the reverse panda the white or black face

I picked up the panda today as my first luxury time piece and I am so so happy with it. Tudor are flying!!
how is it after a year?
@@sahilkhurana_ I still absolutely love it and it still looks brand new!!
I'm thinking of buying it. I find that its a bit big though. Is it worth it it is a bloody beautiful watch
Depends on how big you're wrist is. Mine are small but the Panda looks so good,it feels substantial.
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.

I'd like to live in a world where "most people can afford" a Tudor or an IWC.
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 😂

Relatively fair value for money? I’d rather say exceptional value for money! Anything nearly comparable cost at least 3’000 bucks more!
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!
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

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.
Picked up the black dial and love it!
Teddy thank you for another great video!
My fav watch channel talking about my fav watch of W&W 2021! Outstanding!😁👌
Love the Black Bays. Just beautiful timepieces.
Love them. Modern, with a vintage vibe. Beautiful
I have a Black Bay Chrono it is just an awesome watch. Glad to see Tudor continuing to excel.
Question for anyone familiar with this watch: Does the large second hand ever stop and have to be restarted or will it run continuously as long as the watch has power. I only ask because I have a couple of chronographs that stop at noon on the hour and you have to press the 2 o clock button to restart it.
4:11 I came here for the wrist shots. Wasn't disappointed! Thanks Ted.

BB Chronos or Speedmaster?

Picked up my panda today at the AD so hyped man. Thanks for your videos!
I feel like the panda markers and hands should’ve been boldly outlined in black for legibility and contrast, how did they overlook that??
6.75 inch wrist here. Not happy w the 22mm lug width. Had they kept the 20mm this would have been a much more versatile watch.
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.
If this watch had a clear back / display case, it’s would be perfect 😍
Ok... I WANT TO LOVE THESE - and in theory I do! I love the way they look, I love the dials, I love the thickness..... BUT it's much too big to wear! I'll wear some bigger watches as well! But just that weeeee bit too big! Looks amazing in photos though! So freaking sporty.

How can you take chronographic measurements when the snowflake covers the subdial?

My head says get the black dial reverse panda for legibility, but my heart will always desire the white dial panda.
Probably the nicest looking Tudor
Is that crystal zoom and distorting near the boundaries normal in other watches at certain angles?
Does the seconds hand is vibrating or is it the vedio?
Is the back covered? Also, are the bands a quick change?

Looking to buy my first 'proper' watch and I have thin wrists. About 5.9~/6 inches.
I have a decent budget of between £150-£700~ (yes it's varied), and I have some watches in mind that are round 34~mm such as;
-Timex marlin hand-wound
-Junghans max bill manual wind
-Naos XS silver
-vintage Omega Seamaster 34mm
But as it's my first proper watch, do I risk going for vintage? Or just go for new seeing as it's first watch?
I'd prefer a casual type watch and my eyes are on the Junghans so far, but need to find more 34mm~ watches

would you buy this or wait a little longer for a 40mm airking teddy?
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.

That Panda is my new grail... although I'd prefer a ceramic bezel insert.
Would you get this over the ck2998 LE?
The panda is definitely the better looking watch imo. Wasn’t going to get a Tudor but I just might now
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.
Hi , could you guys give me some opinion of choosing this one or zenith chronomaster sport, which one do you prefer?
The best Tudors I have ever seen....but Longines offers a column wheel chronograph with vertical clutch at an even better price...
The reverse Panda looks better. Will get that one. Thanks for the video.
I have the Panda, its a matter of preference. The Pandas have been all the rage & harder to find in general. I want both,I'm greedy!
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.
will they be available ad ADs? Surely not.
I wish this was available with the ceramic bezel.
How much does it weigh on the bracelet?
Black dial chrono and the bb58 1st release model on a nato strap is the perfect colection. Those 2 are all u need...
would the BB Chrono bracelet fit the Tudor GMT?
Is it heavy?I owned the regular BB not chrono and sold it after 1 month because the weight isn’t comfortable for wearing all day
While using chronograph function, when I reset it, sometimes the minute chrono hand stops at 1 min. mark instead of 0 mark. And sometimes while starting chrono, the min. chrono hand moves to 1 min. mark straightaway when chrono is started.
Is this a common issue? Any suggestions for this problem or it needs Service Centre attention?
Use the warranty, it was made for issues ….
Love my new chronograph 🐼. Waited 6 months for AD to call me. As Teddy mentioned, stopwatch has firm click to start, stop, & reset.
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.
Mhm Tudor black bay or Omega speedmaster moonwatch? What do you guys think?
Omega for sure - not doubt
I like the Panda, but being a bit colorblind, I can’t really read the time on it. There is not enough contrast on the hour and minute hand. A watch has one job…. 😢
Thx Teddy. Could you do a comparison with Hamilton's Intra-Matic?
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!
Great overview and detailed analysis. I wonder your thoughts on how it compares to the Zenith chrono (i.e. Zaytona)?
You know the Certina DS Blue Ribbon Chronograph? So sad that it's not in the Certina website anymore.
Just scooped the reverse. Stoked. Gonna be the new daily driver. Can’t wait.
I can’t find them :(
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.
Can you make a comparison of Tudor Black Bay Chrono and Omega Seamaster Diver 300m? They are right at the same price point of $5000.
Love it but don't like the use of aluminum on the bezel.
Isane bokeh in the b-roll, which lens are you using?
I bought the 925 BB. Waiting patiently for it to arrive at the AD
Great choice! Got to try it on when I picked up my Chrono.
The white dial just needs black borders on the minute and hour hands, maybe even black seconds hand.
Just got the call from my AD!!! Picking it up tomorrow!!!!
The White dial is amazing! Love mine! Thankfully I have a great dealer that ppreciates my loyalty!
The pink version is amazing
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…
Nice video. But my 79360n is 14,4mm thick.
Which would you buy teddy? The panda or blackdial ?
I was leaning silver at first but I think the reverso panda black looks better on my wrist. Tough call though.
Excellent review as usual Teddy, I prefer the black dial too 😍
3:23 I love that panda 😍
Black handset would make the panda a slam dunk, lacking that I’d have to choose the black dial. Stunning in either case.
Tough choice i like both! Just checked out new blue but it’s a bit too flashy for me.
Question: anyone purchased from Jomashop? Whats scoop with them being $1k less than retail… to good to be true. At this price point I think I will just go to a Tudor boutique- seems like a safer bet. Thoughts and comments greatly appreciated
Awesome reviews Teddy! You rock
I do not understand all of the fanfare. Unless I am missing something, all Tudor seems to have done was to have taken the 2017 released version of the Black Bay Chrono and instead of a black on black dial having a metal bezel with black numbers and an unpainted chrono second hand to now have panda dials, a bezel with reverse painted numbers and a red tip on the chrono second hand. Don't get me wrong, the 2017 issued Black Bay Chrono is a 41mm, 200 m, 70 hour reserve, COSC certified Vertical Clutch Column Wheel Chronograph that wears well and lives up to the COSC time keeping ability.
The panda 🐼 makes a very good looking summer piece 👌
The reverse Panda is the piece, looks and wears better than the Daytonas I’ve owned at a fraction of the price. Still wear a 41mm Sub and my ceramic Pepsi, but this is my chronograph ☝🏻🥴
Really love the black one. Hope to get one eventually.
I love the overall aesthetic of this timepiece-and out of the entire Black Bay line-the Heritage Chronograph with the white panda dial is my favorite. But I can't get past the fact that in this price class Tudor uses an aluminum bezel and has no sapphire crystal. And although some will hold up Omega Speedmaster as possible comparison on these points of criticism-I'd say the Speedmaster brings more watch to the table than the Heritage Black Bay Chronograph in level of refinement and the fact that you can at least get a better crystal in the Speedmaster as well. The other issue is that it mostly seems to be little more than a timepiece in more approachable price point for someone who wants panda dial Rolex Daytona and can't or won't pay the stratospheric premiums to obtain a timepiece bearing the crown symbol.
Uber desirable pieces, but which version ? Panda, or reverse Panda? That is the difficult question.
Anyone know the thickness of the sapphire crystal? If the crystal is 1mm thick wouldnt the watch technically be 13mm thick?
