Tudor's newest chronograph celebrates the brand's motorsport legacy and its recent involvement with the Formula One team Visa Cash App Racing Bulls with a limited-edition timepiece that pushes boundaries in both materials and design. Tudor has long established itself as a brand with authentic motorsport credentials dating back to the 1950s. The new Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 25’ Ref. 79377KN represents the pinnacle of this racing heritage, offering a thoroughly modern interpretation of Tudor's chronograph lineage with an impressive technical package centered around an innovative full carbon fiber construction.
Limited to just 2,025 pieces worldwide, the new Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 25’ Ref. 79377KN honors Tudor's partnership with the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula One Team. More than just a marketing tie-in, the watch delivers substantive performance benefits through its material choices that mirror the world of competitive motorsport, where every gram saved translates to improved performance.
Lightweight innovation meets chronograph excellence as the most striking feature of the new Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 25’ Ref. 79377KN is its redesigned case architecture. Tudor has completely reimagined the Black Bay Chrono silhouette in full carbon fiber, resulting in a 42 mm timepiece that's noticeably thinner than its stainless steel counterparts. The weight reduction extends to nearly every component with a carbon fiber case, bezel, end-links, and even the chronograph sub-counters. Meanwhile, the watch is equipped with black PVD titanium pushers and screw-down crown with Tudor rose in relief, and an integrated hybrid leather rubber strap with a tire tread pattern and blue contrast stitching.
Yet Tudor hasn't sacrificed any of its technical prowess in the pursuit of lightweight construction. The watch houses the impressive Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a column-wheel chronograph movement with a vertical clutch developed in collaboration with Breitling. This COSC-certified powerhouse offers a 70-hour power reserve, a silicon balance spring for improved magnetic resistance, and a chronometric precision exceeding COSC standards (-2/+4 seconds per day).
The Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 25’ effortlessly balances Formula One racing-inspired design with Tudor's signature aesthetic codes. The domed ‘racing white’ dial features two hollowed black carbon fiber sub-counters at 3 and 9 o'clock, with Tudor's iconic ‘Snowflake’ hands—outlined in black— with Swiss SuperLumiNova providing excellent legibility. The fixed tachymeter bezel, a staple of racing chronographs, completes the functional racing package. Design elements inspired by the 2025 Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 livery create a contemporary look that still honors Tudor's chronograph heritage. Each watch features its individual limited edition number engraved on the PVD-finished titanium case back. The new watch is fitted with a domed sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to a depth of 200 meters.
With a higher price tag than most of the other watches in the Tudor lineup, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 25’ represents a significant investment, positioning it at the upper end of Tudor's current lineup. However, considering its limited production, innovative materials, and the current market enthusiasm for sports watches with genuine motorsport connections, this piece is likely to generate considerable collectability.
The Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 25’ demonstrates Tudor's willingness to push beyond conventional luxury watch materials while maintaining the core identity that has made the Black Bay line so successful. By embracing carbon fiber construction throughout the watch rather than as a mere aesthetic element, Tudor has created a chronograph that offers genuine practical advantages along with its striking visual presence.
For collectors who appreciate the intersection of automotive inspiration and horological excellence, this limited edition chronograph represents one of 2025's most compelling releases. The connection to Formula One racing feels authentic rather than forced, particularly given Tudor's long history of motorsport involvement dating back decades. The Tudor Black Bay Chrono 'Carbon 25' is available in a limited edition of 2,025 pieces.
