I feel that it is an extension too far...
The BB 41mm I really like - this not so sure. The date is superfluous or could at least do with a cyclops, if one was to do it historically. And why one would need a Chrono in this line...
Not convinced just yet - would need to see it live.
Basel 2017: Tudor Black Bay Chrono.
Perhaps the most interesting offer from Tudor / Rolex this year... The Tudor Black Bay Chrono is a 41 mm watch, in steel, with an in house chronograph movement! The movement is the Cal MT 5813, automatic, with a silicium spiral, offering a power reserve o...
better update than...
Rolex (oui disappointed)... I like the dial & uncluttered aspect, but we both will agree on this... thr unwanted date window... Best, mahesh.,
not bad but could have been better is my initial take....
why have a date? why so much text above the date? not sure about the snowflake hour hand but ok, signature... screw pushers and crown look great to me. on the contrary, price point very appealing. 200m water resistance is super, but wish some better swim ...
I suppose all good things need to cycle through a bad phase...
I wonder if they\'re entering one with this offering. That date is a no go. It almost feels like a blatant appeal to the commercial. I guess after doing all those very well thought out tributes that they\'re probably starting to lose a bit of creative ste...
Honestly,
I think it looks weird, even a bit ugly. Need to see it in real to judge better. I normally don't care about date windows, but this one looks really out of place.
I quite like it
And to be honest I find a date really useful. will have to see it in the metal when it comes out but I certainly find it an interesting mix of styles (pushers and bezel very old school Tudor with the addition of the snowflake hand regards Tim
At first glance i thought there was mistake
then i've realized it was really another brand. ...
I'm still waiting for the Black Bay Minute Repeater model
They're up to what, 10? Black Bay variations now? BB 36 BB 41 BB red BB blue BB black BB dark BB bronze BB steel with date BB two-tone with date BB chrono Did I miss any?
Beside the date window, this is a very attractive watch, I like it.
From what I have seen so far, Basel 2017 has many well thought "retro" designs and a nostalgia for the 50s and 60s. Mostly done the smart way
Not bad... but... the use of snow flake hands ...
... is a detail I don't like at all in this chrono. It bothers me more than the date window which I can understand it is necessary to satisfy a larger group of possible buyers than traditionalists. I like the bezel and the red inscription on dial. I need ...
To me it's not a fluid design
The minute hand to me looks a tad thinned than the hour. The Black Bay is a diver tribute. I don't understand the tachymeter bezel which is commonly associated with speed measurement. It reminds me too much of the 8500 Speedmasters. I think this is a down...

Not keen on this one!
Designed by a committee. "Let's have Speedmaster lugs, Daytona bezel and pushers, snowflake hands and oh we'd better have a date". The hour hand almost obscures the sub seconds dial. Just my first thoughts. Regards Kev
Great offer from Tudor
coherent design overall with the exception of the date window and perhaps also agree on the snowflake hand as that should belong only into the divers. However, the overall package is very well done. CC
I think its a great peice
I liked it. I think it will be star. date is not a deal breaker having the perfect size, great looks, and good value for money proposition.
