At the beginning of 2024, Tudor announced its return to motorsport by partnering with the new Visa Cash App RB Formula One team. To mark the occasion, the brand created a team-exclusive version of its Master Chronometer-certified Black Bay Ceramic, complete with a blue dial to match their striking livery. With the Black Bay Ceramic “Blue”, Tudor is making it officially available to the general public.
Tudor has a long legacy of racing on the track, supporting winning teams during the golden era of motorsport, starting with the Tudor Watch Racing Team in the late 60’s and continuing through the recent IMSA Tudor United SportsCar Championship. In 2024, the Swiss brand is back on the grid, this time with Visa Cash App RB, a brand new Formula One team with fan-favorite drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda behind the wheel.
The Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” has been tested by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) and is certified as a Master Chronometer. This designation, initiated by Omega in collaboration with METAS in 2015, exceeds the requirements of the COSC, and is one of the most demanding standards in the industry, including chronometry, waterproofness and resistance to magnetic fields (up to 15,000 gauss).
The new edition is powered by the MT5602-1U caliber, which is produced in collaboration with Kenissi. This automatic movement beats at 4 Hz and has a 70-hour power reserve. It comes to life through the sapphire crystal case back.
Aside from the bold blue dial, which matches the Cash App RB color scheme and features the collection’s signature luminescent applied hour markers and “snowflake” hands, the newcomer is a stunning piece of a Black Bay Ceramic, presented in a 41mm black ceramic case with a water resistance of 200 meters. The unidirectional bezel with a 60-minute disc is also made of black ceramic.
The Black Bay Ceramic “Blue” sits on a hybrid leather and rubber strap with blue stitching and is delivered with a complimentary black fabric strap with blue centre band. Pricing is marked at $5,150.
