Tudor's 2025 collection will reach a wide audience
Tudor, which offers an extensive collection of sports watches such as the Black Bay and Pelagos, is a brand that stands out among the mid-range brands. For a long time, it was a brand known only to those in the know because it was not officially sold in Japan. However, since its launch in Japan in 2018, it has rapidly increased its recognition and is now a major brand popular with a wide range of watch enthusiasts.
Founded in 1926, Tudor is known for releasing amazing new models every year, combining the extensive archive pieces created throughout its history with the watchmaking technology it has cultivated, focusing on practical watches, and the high-spec movements of its subsidiary, Kenissi.
In 2025, the Black Bay 68 and Pelagos Ultra added new options to the large diver's watch category, while also releasing several smaller watches that are easy to wear for both men and women. This lineup symbolizes the fact that Tudor has gained support from a wide range of watch enthusiasts, and this time we will introduce three models that we really want to own. Of course, there are other models besides these three that each have their own appeal and are definitely worth recommending.
Tudor Black Bay 58, Ref. M7939A1A0RU-0001
This burgundy dial model joins the Black Bay 58 line. It's Master Chronometer certified by METAS. It's automatic (Cal. MT5400-U). It beats at 28,800 vph. It has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. It has a stainless steel case (39mm diameter, 11.7mm thick). It's water resistant to 200m. It's priced at 674,300 yen (tax included).
The Black Bay 58, which debuted in 2018 and is loved by a wide range of users for its compact 39mm case, is a collection that pays homage to the Submariner Ref. 7924, a diver's watch characterized by its large crown, released in 1958. The wide lineup includes a retro-colored black dial model, as well as a blue dial model, a silver 925 case model, a bronze case model, an 18K yellow gold case model, and even a GMT model.
The new addition to the collection for 2025 is an elegant burgundy dial model. Tudor produced the Submariner Ref. 79190 with a burgundy bezel as a prototype in the 1990s, and the Black Bay collection began with a burgundy bezel model. Burgundy, therefore, is a special color for Tudor. This model features a sunray finish on the dial, giving it a different look from previous Black Bay 58 models.
The case is made of stainless steel. With a diameter of 39mm, it is comfortable for both men and women, and its thickness of 11.7mm is thin for a diver's watch with a water resistance of 200m. The bracelet is a five-link type with a polished and satin finish. Each link is small, making it comfortable to wear.
And in fact, this model is not just a color variation. It has been certified as a Master Chronometer by METAS, and is officially certified to have excellent specifications in a wide range of categories, including precision, magnetic resistance, water resistance, and power reserve. And yet, it's worth noting that the price is only a few tens of thousands of yen more than the previous Black Bay 58. Hats off to Tudor for this price setting, which gives a glimpse of their conscience.
Tudor Black Bay 54 "Lagoon Blue" Ref. M79000-0001
The Black Bay 54 is now available with a lagoon blue dial. The polished bezel and refreshing blue dial with a sandy texture evoke the image of a tropical beach. Automatic movement (Cal. MT5400). 27 jewels. Power reserve: approximately 70 hours. Stainless steel case (37mm diameter, 11.2mm thick). Water resistant to 200m. Price: 619,300 yen (tax included).
The Black Bay 54, released in 2023, is the smallest Black Bay with a rotating bezel. Its design is inspired by Tudor's first diver's watch, the Submariner Ref. 7922, which was released in 1954, and features a 37mm case and a bezel with five-minute increments.
The new Black Bay 54 model for 2025 is a lagoon blue dial model. Unlike the existing lineup, which features a retro black dial with gold accents, the polished stainless steel bezel and refreshing light blue dial evoke a tropical beach, creating a modern diver's watch look. The polished bezel evokes the dazzling sunlight, while the sand-textured dial is reminiscent of a sandy beach in an exotic location.
The stainless steel bracelet is an elegant five-link design. The three central links are polished and the ends are satin-finished, creating a striking contrast. The finely divided links provide a supple feel against the skin, ensuring a luxurious feel that's perfect for relaxing at a resort. The buckle is equipped with a "T-fit" mechanism, allowing for fine adjustment of the size with a single touch, without the need for tools.
The movement is the Cal. MT5400, a mechanical automatic movement that has been certified as a COSC chronometer and boasts a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
A common problem with new Tudor models is that they are often in short supply and difficult to purchase. The black dial model released in 2023 was also rarely available in stores for some time after its release. The same goes for the subsequent lagoon blue dial model. It is rarely available in showcases, and as of December 2025, this situation has not been resolved. According to a Tudor public relations representative, this model has received the most inquiries to date, possibly due to its size, which makes it easy for both men and women to wear. However, they say, "It is currently in short supply, but you can buy it if you wait," so if you're interested, it's best to be patient.
Tudor "Ranger" Ref. M79930-0007
The Ranger is Tudor's iconic, simple tool watch. The introduction of a dune white dial and a 36mm case dramatically expanded the lineup. Automatic (Cal. MT5400). 27 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Stainless steel case (36mm diameter, 11mm thick). Water resistant to 100m. Price: ¥503,800 (tax included).
The Ranger collection is based on the Oyster Prince, a watch that proved extremely reliable in polar regions when it was carried on the Royal Navy's North Greenland Expedition from 1952 to 1954. Tudor trademarked the Ranger in 1929, but it wasn't until the 1960s that the name became associated with the watch's design, which combines Arabic numeral indexes and an arrow-shaped hour hand.
The modern Ranger inherits that design and was released in 2022. The case diameter has been updated to a modern 39mm, and it has gained popularity as a simple tool watch with just the right amount of presence, but there were many voices calling for it to be made smaller.
In the midst of all this, the new Ranger, with a smaller diameter of 36mm, was announced for 2025. What's more, it comes with a surprise addition: a new dune white dial in addition to the traditional black dial.
The dune white dial, which pays homage to the Dakar Rally, known as the world's most grueling race, features a classic cream base with matte black indexes. The iconic Arabic numeral indexes and arrow-shaped hour hand are still present, of course. This sophisticated tool watch, focused on displaying the time, shines through.
The smaller case is closer to the original size. At 11mm thick, it fits comfortably under a shirt cuff. Despite its small size, it is water resistant to 100m, making it safe to use in bad weather or for leisure activities.
The sporty three-link stainless steel bracelet features a double-locking buckle with a "T-fit" mechanism that allows for easy, tool-free adjustment of the fit.
