Tudor captivated watch enthusiasts with the release of the Black Bay Chrono “Flamingo Blue” (Ref. M79360N-0024), a daring and vibrant evolution of its acclaimed chronograph series. Following the resounding success of the Black Bay Chrono Pink, this latest edition embraces an unexpected turquoise dial, drawing inspiration from the lively aesthetic of South Beach. The result is a bold yet sophisticated timepiece, perfectly blending heritage with modernity, and one that pairs exceptionally well with a premium rubber strap upgrade.
A Striking Dial with South Beach Flair
The Flamingo Blue dial takes center stage in this latest iteration of the Black Bay Chrono. Unlike the more subdued Boutique Edition Blue released in October 2024, this model exudes an effortlessly playful energy, reflecting the vibrant hues of tropical waters. Contrasting black sub-dials add a refined, sporty touch, ensuring exceptional readability while preserving the Black Bay Chrono’s signature aesthetic.
Tudor has subtly referenced Miami’s dynamic culture in this release. As the official timekeeper of Inter Miami CF, the brand brings a distinctly Florida-inspired energy to the Flamingo Blue, yet the watch maintains its own distinct identity, untethered from football affiliations but firmly rooted in Tudor’s spirit of innovation. At Rubber B, headquartered right here in Miami Beach, this resonates deeply.
Precision Engineering & Timeless Craftsmanship
Beneath its striking exterior, the Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue (Ref. M79360N-0024) retains the exceptional engineering that defines this collection. Housed within a robust 41mm stainless steel case, the timepiece is powered by the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a high-performance automatic chronograph movement.

Is the Tudor Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue Worth Buying?
The Flamingo Blue is a compelling choice for collectors drawn to bold, unconventional dial colors executed with genuine Swiss quality. It is not a limited edition, ensuring broader availability, though the “Daring Watches” positioning suggests Tudor may retire these colorways as trends shift, similar to how special editions typically cycle.
For those who embraced the Black Bay Chrono Pink but wanted something cooler in tone, the Flamingo Blue delivers that contrast without sacrificing the same level of craftsmanship, movement quality, or wearability. Paired with a Rubber B rubber strap in Pacific Blue or Solid Black, it becomes a fully unique, sport-ready expression of modern Tudor design.
