Born to dare with a Miami South Beach vibe, the “Flamingo Blue” belongs to Tudor’s special range made for those who dare to be different. Black counters sit on that dial like sunglasses under the midday sun. For the collector who already owns the serious black and blue pieces, here is the one that makes people ask questions.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Domed and finished in a smooth, even turquoise, the dial carries crisp luminous hour markers and Tudor’s snowflake hour hand, both glowing bright green after dark. Wrapped around the case, the 5-link bracelet alternates satin-brushed outer links with mirror-polished center links, and its T-fit clasp lets you fine-tune the fit without a tool. Ringed in matte black anodized aluminium with silver markings, the fixed tachymeter bezel frames the color with a clean, sporty edge.

Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, date, and 45-minute chronograph. Powering it all is the Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a COSC-certified column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch and about 70 hours of power reserve. Unscrew the crown on the right side of the case and wind it about 40 turns in the first position, then pull it to the second position to quick-set the date to yesterday. Pull to the third position, then turn the hands forward until the date flips and the time matches, so the calendar and hands agree. Both pushers screw down: the top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, the bottom pusher resets it, and screwing everything back in keeps the 200-meter water resistance.

Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with international guarantee card, hang tag, chronometer guarantee and worldwide service booklet, and instruction manual.

A mechanical chronograph in this shade from a serious brand is rare, and Tudor placed it in its Daring Watches range. Wear it with a linen shirt in Palm Beach or a navy suit in the city and it does the talking either way. If your collection wants a splash of color that means business, this is the piece to reach for.
