Nicknamed the “Bumblebee” for its electric yellow face, this 2026 Black Bay Chrono 39 shrinks Tudor’s flagship chronograph into a slimmer 39mm case and joins the brand’s Daring Watches line alongside the Pink and Flamingo Blue models. Made for the collector who has owned the serious black-and-white chronographs and is ready for one that grins back, it brings sports-car color to a size that wears comfortably on a wide range of wrists. Expect it to start conversations across a dinner table and still feel right on a Saturday morning.

Presents itself in brand new condition with no signs of wear. Set against a vivid yellow dial, the two black subdials carry fine concentric rings, while Tudor’s signature Snowflake hour hand and round lume plots glow green after dark. Framed by a fixed bezel with a black anodised aluminium insert, the silver Units Per Hour scale adds a racing-dashboard edge that keeps the yellow front and center. Carved from stainless steel, the 39mm case pairs satin-brushed flanks with polished bevels at just 13.1mm tall, flowing into a polished and satin-brushed three-link bracelet with Tudor’s T-fit rapid-adjust clasp.

Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, date, chronograph, and tachymeter. The screw-down crown at 3 o’clock, stamped with the Tudor shield, winds the watch when unscrewed, quick sets the date with a clockwise turn when pulled out one click, and moves the hands when pulled out to the second click. The screw-down pusher at 2 o’clock starts and stops the chronograph and the screw-down pusher at 4 o’clock resets it, so unscrew both before timing and screw them back down to protect the water resistance rated to 200m. The red-tipped center hand counts chronograph seconds, the subdial at 3 o’clock tracks up to 45 elapsed minutes, and the subdial at 9 o’clock shows running seconds. Inside, the COSC-certified Manufacture Calibre MT5813 with column wheel and vertical clutch offers about 70 hours of power reserve, regulated by Tudor to -2/+4 seconds per day.

Comes as a complete set, double-boxed with watch pillow, international guarantee card, hang tag, and bezel protector.

Bold color has a way of becoming the watch everyone remembers, and the Bumblebee was built to be exactly that in a size that wears like a classic. For the collector who wants a chronograph with a sense of humor and the credentials to back it up, it turns an ordinary Tuesday into an occasion. Picture it on your wrist this weekend.
