I was in a provincial city in the UK, walking to a meeting, when I happened to glance into the window of a Tudor dealer as I passed by.
To my surprise, I saw this Black Bay Chronograph Carbon 25. I thought these watches were boutique only. Apparently this watch turned up, out of the blue, in a consignment of watches from Tudor. The dealer never expected to get one and consequently didn’t have a waiting list.
42mm, forged carbon case and buckle, titanium case back, crown and pushers, matt white and slightly grained dial. Light but not too light. Very comfortable on the rubber strap. I love its fresh, modern look.
All the best,
Jon

Very nice looking TUDOR. I like this one a lot. As you said fresh and modern. Perfect on your wrist.
Did you buy it? If it is the case, congrats Jon!
Jon, I am so envious, I just love that Tudor!
I literally stopped in 5 Tudor boutiques ( Tokyo, Hong Kong & Singapore) and they were sold out, count yourself very lucky!
Many thanks, Larry
I was definitely lucky. Right place, right time. I seem to remember that shortly after the watch was released you posted some pictures of you wearing it. Was that just a demonstration piece, could you not buy it at the time? All the best, Jon
Thanks, Nico.
Yes, I did get. When I went into the AD I realised I was lucky to find it outside of London at a local AD, so I thought I would push my luck and ask for a discount. They agreed to give me a few hundred pounds off and that sealed the deal. If I had asked f...
Many thanks, Vetnov.
Your reverse panda version looks fantastic too. Tudor have done well with the design of this chronograph. There are hints of the Daytona, but it’s a strong enough design to stand on its own.
Many thanks, KMII.
In the case of this AD it is a real waiting list when Tudor launches a watch and there is some hype which causes demand to exceed supply in the short term, whilst Tudor ramp up production volume of the relevant model. This AD is just a Tudor/Omega dealer....
Thanks, Zsolt.
The watch gods were certainly smiling on me that day! The design of this watch won’t appeal to everyone. It certainly looks a bit like a Swatch, but in the hand it feels much more substantial and well made than any Swatch. And as a sporty watch for summer...
Maybe my imagination is very poor, but I don’t see any Swatch resemblance here;)
I see Tudor experimenting with different things(something we all shout about). As for appeal, it’s only you who has to like it, therefore it’s a winner! I wear a Submariner that supposedly everyone has. and can’t care less of what others think or like… I ...
I’m very happy with my choice!
Now that’s a serious piece of equipment! You’re certainly ready for any precipitation you might encounter!!
