So everyone seems to be saying here and on CWC ---> Nice watch with wrong hands at a good starter price of around $5000 with In house movement BUT not enough goods to sell this watch to speedy lovers
That is what I am getting ?

Is that black or blue dial?

For me Tudor is trying to leverage its recent success in Black Bay line and take a further step to get more market with the chrono. Similar rationale can be seen for the BB 36 introduced last year. I am fine with the BB36. But the chrono with 200m of diving depth? A design confusion for me. Tudor shall try to build a classic pure chrono line, like Daytona.

v6inspire · 22 March 2017, 10:33 AM

not feeling the thickness of it..

cervantes · 22 March 2017, 10:40 AM

Dive watch dial and hands - steel tachymetere bezel. Hmmm....
Much prefer the heritage chrono models. Just put the new in house movement in those.

sickened1 · 22 March 2017, 10:43 AM

Easy pass... now on to the next Baselworld.

rossi46 · 22 March 2017, 10:44 AM

It looks ridiculously thick! And, as others have said, the design is a mishmash of styles and genres that ends up failing in the end. First strikeout by Tudor in a while, I have to say.

Love the nickname Baytona, though!

Was wondering this on the thickness as well. My THC may be a modular but at least it isn't 2" thick. Not sold on this one but an in house column wheel integrated chrono at $4750 on a strap and $5050 on a bracelet is pretty incredible. Just hope the thickness is a photo trick.

I much prefer the thc or blackshield. I just don't like the big crown or hands on this model.

That minute hand just keeps going and going and going and going.

Totally uninspiring. I really wish Tudor would ditch the snowflake hand. It ruins what would otherwise be a nice line-up of watches, but this chrono simply seems to lack any personality. You'd really think they'd do some customer research on the QT before making releases like this. Shame.

travisb · 22 March 2017, 11:07 AM

No interest..,

Would of loved this with a diving bezel!

Diver Chronos are already contradictory, and I wouldn't have minded the large snowflake hands over the subdials in that case.

This dial screams diver, but the tachy bezel confuses it...

Springfield · 22 March 2017, 11:27 AM

Yikes.

Agreed except on the pelagos where it makes sense with the square plots.

That's the first thing I noticed too. If it had thin hands I would like this

I agree with this. There are many Tudor models I would be interested in if it weren't for the snowflake hand. I know it's their trademark but still.

Wonder is the movement modular?

Apparently column wheel, fwiw: http://watchesbysjx.com/2017/03/firs...ay-chrono.html

ragingcao · 22 March 2017, 11:55 AM

The only positive about this Tudor is my bank account won't go negative for this monstrosity

incontrol · 22 March 2017, 12:01 PM

I like it but I am not buying so it is easy to say. The price seems good to me for an in house chronograph with a date. There are not too many around at about $4500 USD.

Boothroyd · 22 March 2017, 12:23 PM

I wonder how many of these they are projecting to sell in the US, and if they will come anywhere close to their target.
