Possibly, and running with that, then I’m imagining either another bronze (only with date this time), where the square indicates a date window.
Alternatively, not a bronze, but a BB interpretation of the OP Sub 76100 Tropic, with faux patina dial and/or bezel, if they’ve found a way to create the effect cheaply and easily reproducible.

I'm on the edge of my seat with this one. Alas, I've been disappointed so many times before (endless variants of the BlackBay).

Someone will. There have been a decent number of references that were initially disliked, which have become popular.

The PT Daytona (nee Pootona) and JC DSSD (nee Derp Sea) being two prime examples.

My best guess is TUDOR HERITAGE made to their 1964 TUDOR OYSTER PRINCE SUBMARINER “TROPICAL” 7928 with vintage brown dial with the luminous material on hands and markers showing aged with a creamy yellow color.

I'm starting to think it's just a Destro Black Bay Bronze.

I'd love to see a Coke GMT Pelagos but that would be too 'Rolex' for the new Tudor brand outlook. Hope it's not another bloody Black Bay derivative...

so macchiato is adding milk to espresso

maybe a current model but in PVD and with a white dial

reckon it will be a recolouring of a current model similar to the fastrider last year, anyway

Tudor just announced that Australia isn't an important market!

A complete white Pelagos would also be cool. A bit Polar-like

I hope they come with something unique. And not something inspired by a hype (full black fastrider, bronze, ...).

Could be coincidence but the guys at revolution just made a nice article about the Tudor military sub
Sometimes these sites or blogs get the info sooner than us
They are not allowed to leak any info....... but making an article about the milsub 12hrs before Tudor will announce something new..... could be nothing but it makes me start dreaming

I'm thinking the numbers clue refers to the GMT bezel markings, and the macchiato is the thing that will keep you up at night. It's a Pelagos GMT with red GMT hand, at least that's what I'm guessing.
