Watches & Wonders 2026: TUDOR Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary with New Releases

Reading Time: 4 minutes

TUDOR, founded in 1926, is now 100 years young. Over this course of time, ‘TUDOR’ became synonymous with daring endeavours – on waves, dunes, pitches, and racetracks. Commemorating their centenary at Watches & Wonders 2026, TUDOR announced a league of bold updates, new materials and the revival of the legendary Monarch. Alongside this, the new releases span a slew of Black Bay updates, including a special edition full ceramic reference and refined Royal sizes. Across all new launches, TUDOR’s Master Chronometer certification (COSC + METAS) remains consistent. Here’s a list of every TUDOR release at Watches & Wonders 2026.

TUDOR Monarch

Honouring their 100-year legacy, TUDOR resurrects the Monarch as a testament to how far they’ve progressed and their savoir-faire. Pointing towards early TUDOR designs, it incorporates two of watchmaking’s most distinct numeral styles: Roman (from 10 to 2) and Arabic (from 4 to 8). The dial’s dark champagne hue and texture are akin to papyrus – an ancient Egyptian material. Offering a mix of elegance and sportiness, it’s contemporarily contrasted by a faceted, satin-finished stainless steel case measuring 39 millimetres and a matching bracelet. With a compact thickness of 11.9 millimetres, the case is water resistant to 100 metres with a screw-down crown and open caseback.
Delivering TUDOR’s ‘Master Chronometer’ precision, the manufacture calibre MT5662-2U (COSC and METAS certified) is self-wound and offers 65 hours of power reserve. The movement is also graced by an exceptionally elegant Côtes de Genève finishing and an 18-carat gold inlay on the rotor.

Black Bay Ceramic

Ceramic was once a challenging material to work with, but now, it’s TUDOR’s most powerful weapon in material innovation. For 2026, TUDOR goes even darker. Reimagined with a 41-millimetre black monobloc ceramic case with micro sand-blasted surfaces and bevelled edges. Its matching unidirectional bezel receives sunray satin finishing with a 60-minute graduated disc. With its ceramic bracelet and ergonomically designed body, it serves as a testament to TUDOR’s mastery of technical innovation and tradition of “going dark”. Carrying the black-on-charcoal aesthetic, the matte-finished dial features applied hour markers with “dark” luminescent material and Black Bay-signature snowflake hands. Powered by a COSC and METAS-certified manufacture calibre MT5602-U, it’s self-wound with a 70-hour power reserve.

TUDOR Royal

Introduced in the 1950s, the TUDOR Royal collection strived to spotlight the maison’s superior quality and exquisite designs. To date, the TUDOR Royal was available in sizes of 28, 34, 38, and 41 millimetres – however, at Watches & Wonders 2026, TUDOR refined these dimensions to 30, 36, and 40 millimetres, in stainless steel and two-tone versions. Accompanying these new sizes are dial hues of black, green, blue, gold, silver, and brown. Furthermore, smaller sizes receive options of light blue, ivory, and salmon, while the 30-millimetre gets burgundy and mother-of-pearl. The larger, 40-millimetre references feature day indicators at 12 o’clock and date windows at 9 o’clock, while the smaller references only offer date complications. The Royal line is powered by TUDOR manufacture calibres MT5412, MT5633, or MT5201, designed to ensure robustness and precision.

Black Bay 54

The TUDOR Black Bay, introduced in 2012, is a celebration of the past – with eyes set on the future. Honouring the signature silhouettes and original blueprints of TUDOR’s contemporary designs, the Black Bay is the ultimate diver. For 2026, the new Black Bay 54 dives back into the abyss with the return of the “TUDOR Blue”. With a crisp 37-millimetre stainless steel case with a polished, satin finish, it boasts a 60-minute unidirectional bezel with an aluminum insert. Reminiscent of deep oceans, its satin radial-brushed blue dial features a distinctive sapphire hue. The hour markers and signature snowflake hands are dipped in Grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminescent material. Manufacture calibre MT5400 is self-wound, COSC-certified, and offers a 70-hour power reserve. Completed with a 3-link stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap.

Black Bay 58 GMT

A timeless diver designed for modern jetsetters who cruise across time zones with elegance and boldness. The Black Bay GMT is TUDOR’s mid-sized yet top-tier GMT model, offering a striking blend of form, function, and finesse. With ergonomic case proportions of 39 millimetres, cast out of satin-finished stainless steel, it’s waterproof to 200 metres and paired with warm hues of burgundy, black and gilt on the bezel. The black dial with radial-brushed finishing features a date window at 3 o’clock, applied hour markers, and a seconds hand features a “lollipop” design, nodding to TUDOR’s early diver’s watches. Manufacture calibre MT5450-U (COSC and METAS certified) is self-wound, offering a GMT function and 65-hour power reserve. Secured with a 5-link stainless steel bracelet with TUDOR “T-fit” clasp.

Black Bay 58

TUDOR’s Black Bay 58 is their symbol of completion. Refined, timeless, and versatile, it now arrives in options of a five-link bracelet, a three-link bracelet, or a rubber strap. All three boast TUDOR’s “T-fit” rapid adjustment system. Upon close inspection, you’ll notice that the dial text has been reduced to two lines, a cleaner bezel design, and pinched hands at the base. Much like TUDOR’s early diver’s watches, the new Black Bay 58 also carries a domed sapphire crystal. The matte black dial boasts applied hour markers with the seconds hand featuring a “lollipop” design. TUDOR’s manufacture calibre MT5400-U is COSC and METAS certified, self-wound, and offers a 65-hour power reserve.
