This year, TUDOR has been nothing short of bold. From headline-making debuts at Watches and Wonders, such as the Pelagos Ultra and the impeccably crafted Black Bay 68, to the inspired revival of the Ranger Collection in partnership with the iconic Dakar Rally, the Maison has once again pushed boundaries and reaffirmed its stature as one of Switzerland’s most influential contemporary watchmakers.
In the spirit of the season, and following our curated review of the brands we proudly champion, we have assembled a new Christmas shortlist celebrating our standout TUDOR timepieces of the year. From venturing into the depths with the formidable Pelagos Collection or embracing the refined elegance of the Clair de Rose, we remain endlessly captivated by the enduring innovation and artistry that define TUDOR.
Black Bay 58 - Perfect Harmony
Unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2025, the new Black Bay 58 has captured the imagination of discerning collectors with its brilliant burgundy dial and harmoniously matched bezel. This exquisite shade truly comes alive in person, offering a bold yet refined presence that elevates both daily wear and life’s more exceptional moments. It is a colour choice that feels both modern and ageless, making the watch instantly captivating yet endlessly wearable.
A pillar of TUDOR’s storied legacy, the Black Bay Collection continues to define modern horological excellence, and this latest timepiece enriches that heritage with remarkable finesse. It features a meticulously engineered unidirectional rotatable bezel, elegant curved numerals for legibility, and 200m of water resistance. At its heart beats the MT5400-U METAS-certified movement, ensuring the watch performs as beautifully as it looks.
What makes this timepiece truly special is the balance it strikes: the perfect harmony of vintage inspiration and contemporary craftsmanship. It feels considered in every detail, from the warmth of the burgundy tones to the robustness of its construction. It undoubtedly feels like a must-have this Christmas.
Clair De Rose 34mm - Enduring Dreams
The Clair De Rose collection marks a graceful departure from TUDOR’s focus around tool watches, seamlessly merging the art of traditional watchmaking with a refined elegance. Inspired by the Maison’s history, its name evokes a poetic duality, Clair de lune, “moonlight” in French, and TUDOR’s historic rose emblem, bringing together heritage and romance in a single, enchanting expression.
Conceived as TUDOR’s answer to the feminine dress watch, the collection exudes an Art Deco aesthetic that effortlessly complements modern style. Among the highlights is the exquisite 34mm model, its luminous blue dial capturing the eye immediately, punctuated by a subtle date window at 3 o’clock. Roman numeral markers add this automatic timepiece, making it the quintessential gift for someone truly special this holiday season.
Pelagos Ultra - The Deep Beckons
TUDOR never fails to impress, and their latest marvel, the Pelagos Ultra, is no exception. Engineered for deep-sea exploration, this 43mm titanium powerhouse boasts an astonishing 1000m depth rating, making it a true professional diver’s watch.
The luminescence has been reimagined, featuring two distinct colours, blue and green, to maximise legibility, even in the darkest, murkiest waters. Subtle yet essential, the helium escape valve is compact enough that you might barely notice it, yet it plays a crucial role in saturation diving.
TUDOR has clearly undertaken a complete overhaul of the Pelagos Ultra. Every detail has been refined to withstand the extreme demands of deep-sea diving. Backed by rigorous testing and a METAS Master Chronometer certification, this timepiece is a bold testament to the Maison’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking.
Whether you are a dedicated diver or simply captivated by rugged, high-performance tool watches, the Pelagos Ultra deserves a spot on your Christmas list. It is certainly on ours.
If you are looking for a timepiece built for shallower waters, then the Pelagos Collection still houses a variety of watches perfect for underwater exploration.
TUDOR Ranger - For the Explorer
Unveiled in November, the new TUDOR Ranger stands as a distinguished addition to the Maison’s legendary collection. Now offered with an elegant ‘Dune’ white dial and a perfectly balanced 36mm case, this latest iteration honours TUDOR’s heritage while confidently ushering in a new era of understated sophistication.
Meticulously crafted from fully satin-brushed 316L steel, the Ranger’s robust case and fixed bezel embody purposeful design. Compact yet formidable, it is engineered to endure the most demanding conditions, an ethos inspired by the resilience and spirit of The Dakar, proudly sponsored by TUDOR.
While a new dial colour may seem subtle, it reflects TUDOR’s unwavering commitment to refinement through evolution, reaffirming the Maison’s distinctive presence in the world of Swiss watchmaking. Of course, if you would prefer a classic look, then you can get a Ranger in a traditional black.
Explore these exceptional new timepieces on our website, with showroom availability arriving soon. For a deeper look into TUDOR’s inspiration for the new Ranger, read our comprehensive feature, The Thrill of the Race.
