Not 24 hours after announcing its partnership with Inter Miami CF as the MLS team’s official timekeeper, Tudor is bringing forth a new watch to match: That’s right, get ready for the Black Bay Chrono “Pink”. Pink, of course, figures heavily into the David Beckham-founded club’s livery; it also happens to be the signature color of Chinese musician Jay Chou, another of Tudor’s brand ambassadors. Giro d’Italia, meanwhile, a bicycle race sponsored by the Swiss watchmaker, adorns its competitors in pink jerseys. In short: there’s no shortage of the rose-colored hue in Tudor’s orbit, so a pink-dialed watch doesn’t feel like much of a stretch.
Of course, die-hard tool watch aficionados might disagree—which is why the new Black Bay Chrono “Pink” will only be released in limited numbers—howlimited, Tudor has yet to specify. The watch itself is rather handsome, if largely familiar to brand aficionados: Housed in a 41mm satin-brushed and polished 316L stainless steel case, it features a fixed, anodized aluminum bezel insert in black with a white tachymeter scale; a screw-down “rose”-logo crown; screw-down pushers; and a domed sapphire crystal. The star of the proverbial show, the domed pink dial, features contrasting black sub-registers with a 45-minute totalizer—excellent for measuring the two halves of a soccer match—at 3 o’clock; a 60-minute totalizer at 9 o’clock; and a white date window at 6 o’clock. The lumed hands are of the “Snowflake” variety launched by Tudor on its Submariner dive watches in 1969, while the applied, lume-filled indices are easily discernible in low-light conditions. The pink—a cotton-candy like hue, in this case—jives particularly well with the watch’s black and steel elements.
