A Discussion around Tudor's next Chronograph - The Prince Chronograph "Big Block". There's no guessing when we'll see it arrive in their collection but it will be here sooner than later. At a time where the Rolex Daytona has recently recieved and update, Tudor will be doing the same. Debuting their In-House MT59XX caliber with three sub-dials and date function in a watch that could range anywhere from 42 - 39mm's in Diameter. There's plenty of opportunity for this design to make a dent in their catalogue.

@PocketUau 4 месяца назад

All I see is Tudor neutering the Prince name to avoid a reduction of OP sales. I’ve handled many a Rolex, and none of them felt particularly high quality compared to their Tudor counterparts and to an extent, compared to micro brands. If they release a Prince in an Oyster case there wouldn’t be a great reason to buy the Rolex besides the brand name, which is somewhat why they made the Black Bay instead of releasing a near identical Submariner with that name and the same case, though chamfered on the edges and fitted with a 2824. They gotta be real careful, but I’d love Tudor a little if they reissued the Prince Oysterdate with an engine turned bezel.

@pedromanuellopez142 4 месяца назад

@@ID-GuyWho knows? Vulcans are priced at 4-5k. Tudor could easily match that price point, maybe even go lower. Alarm watches are rare, maybe because the JLC memovox had the market cornered for years, and it is pricey. More options at lower prices might interest more buyers. I would definitely be interested.

I managed to make a watch with a valjoux 7754, in a 38mm steel case, 100m WR, screw down crown&pushers, 13.5mm thick. If *I*, an amateur, can do it, Tudor should be able to do it too. Oh, and sapphire front and back.

@khronokraze 4 месяца назад

I think your thoughts and predictions are well thought-out and highly plausible. I would welcome such a chronograph revival that doesn't ride on the very long, but worn out, Black Bay coat tails. However, at the same time, I'm not sure it would be a watch for me. 1) in my earlier years of automatic chronograph watch collecting, they were nearly all Valjoux 7750 based and had the subdials at 12-9-6. I didn't know as much back then, but, I just accepted that was always going to be the case with more affordable automatic chronographs. As such, I think I got incredibly bored of that layout and don't ever gravitate towards such in my new(er) watch collecting days 2) I just prefer the visual weight of chronograph subdials to be more centered and bottom balanced and with 9-6-3.. or, balanced with just 2 sub dials at the 9&3.

@ID-Guy 4 месяца назад

There’s a reason why the 3,6,9 dials have helped define the Chronograph layout (from the very beginning) 😉 But anything to get away from the Black Bay line… I’m begging, pleading we see something like this. The revival of the Prince - Prince Diver, Chrono, Date… ah, there’s so much potential! Hope you’re well m’boy! 🥃

@Thomas_Burnett 4 месяца назад

I’ve eyed up vintage BIg Block’s on the secondary market and they look awesome. It makes total sense for Tudor to delve into their back catalogue and revive this model. Like you say, a test run for Only Watch makes sense for a general release. Love the renders that you did of what you imagine the Watch will look like 👌 The lack of a Snowflake hand is essential for true legibility in a Watch with this kind of sub register layout. I hope when I go to the Tudor stand at Watches and Wonders I see a Big Block chronograph in one of the cabinets. Great video as always boet. We must have a catch up call soon.

Great renders - let’s hope this happens. While very asymmetrical it looks so good.

@anthonystevens8683 4 месяца назад

I like the concept but overall I'm not sure until we get to see them. I'll be hanging back on this one for a year or so after release because as you mention new movements can have teething problems that Tudor has already experienced with early BB GMT models. The fence post hands would be a welcome change for a tri compax dial arrangement as well. The BB Chronograph just about gets away with the snowflake but only just. Many thanks for sharing.

@dominicrusho 4 месяца назад

Something looks off with the dial proportions on the Only Watch example - too much empty space compared to the originals. Pulling the size down to, say, 40mm would really make this look neater. I love the big applied shield logo that some examples had on the dial too!

@dannysimenauer5745 4 месяца назад

I have been eyeing the older Tudor Prince watches the past several weeks so your video caught my attention immediately. Tudor bringing out a new model using older designs would be tempting if Tudor uses color on the dial & bezel to differentiate itself from the competition. I understand the need to move away from Breitling movements, but am surprised that Kenissi would test out a new unproven movement on the Tudor buying public. Judging by your tone of voice, you seem very skeptical on Kenissi launching new movements too.

@SkilfulLeader1 4 месяца назад

Great content, actually excited to think they might just break away from the comfort zone of usualness, they really missed an opportunity with the panda/reverse chrono. Slightly thinner, champered sides and not so stiff movement would have made it so good. Plus wearability was poor with the rivet bracelet. If they are to release another similar big block and actually take inspiration from originality, then the black bay range will remain in the shadows!! Here’s hoping for something new!! 😊

@jonnyg84 4 месяца назад

To my eye there is too much unused space on the right aspect of the dial on the 41-42mm mock-ups, which gives the watch a “mall watch” feel. Like the movement isn’t sized well for the case. The smaller 39-40mm renderings look better. I was a huge fan of the Heritage Chrono and wish they’d bring that back 😢.

@ID-Guy 4 месяца назад

Spot on Jonny, so much open space around the dial (Mall Watch made me chuckle) 😉 There's potential for them to give us a 39mm with tighter sub-dials and all the rest but hey! Well said 🥃

@craciunu 4 месяца назад

Very nice take on “what’s to come”. Unfortunately, it will not shutter the boring glass box in which Tudor operates for a decade now. Probably the North Pole and the Monaco were the last visually creative watches in the line-up. Both gone long ago. In the meantime, we should be content with a titanium case, some shiny gold here and there, and a red bezel or something 😂

@ColinLack 4 месяца назад

If the Prince line comes back I would love that especially if they make a date-day with a linen dial. It'd make me fall in love with Tudor again. I wanted the Black Bay GMT for the longest time when I first was getting into watches. Tried it on and it was too large and too slab sided for my skinny wrist.

As an owner of the BlackBay Panda Chronograph, I am partial to the big block. For me the choice will be upgrading or not. As I really want to see if Tudor will update the Pelagos 42 this year as well as if they modify the GMT. The new Opaline dial is the one I am lusting for now.

AP may be able to get away with being a one model brand, but Tudor does need to broaden its (popular) offerings that are not BB/divers. Chronos are the obvious route insofar as if anything from Rolex is going to remain hard to get it’s the Daytona. My only chin-rubbing thought is that Tudor will be too big block, too Breitling if you like, at a time when slimmer and svelter (is that a word? 🤔) is the direction of travel. I hope it lives up to expectations! 🍻

Looking back at their past track record, they have brought in newer models while keeping the older ones in the catalogue (like what they've been doing with the Pelagos) And since the BB Chrono and Prince are quite vastly different - not even in the same model line, I reckon they'd be able to offer both for a time 😉

If Tudor made a 39mm chronograph, that's not a black bay, I could die happy

My poor little 6.5" wrist is crying at the thought of a >14mm thick / 42mm case. On the upside, I could just get a 79180/79280...

Interesting. The current gen Tudor Chronograph was announced was announced at Watches & Wonders 2021 and took over 15 months to get to AD's. So now that Tudor figured out how to deliver a chronograph, it is surprising that Tudor is already coming out with a new line of Prince Chronographs as if Tudor loves to announce watches that it can not deliver. Makes no sense but true...

Would love to see Tudor offer this watch in Blue with Silver Subdials to break away from panda scheme

@JohnSmith-jj2yd 4 месяца назад

Your renders are the most sound and logical design of what a steel version of the OnlyWatch Prince would look like... and that's why I suspect it is completely wrong! 😂 The design is just too close to the Daytona, and if there is one thing we know by now, Rolex will not let Tudor go all-in, and it will be nerfed in some way. The only way i see a standard 'Tudor Daytona' coming out is if it's 42mm, 50mm lug-to-lug, 15mm thick obscenity. If they don't just nerf it with size, I would imagine they will go with a colourway more like the Monte Carlo (original and discontinued modern 42mm in the blue/orange and grey/orange) or something equally whacky. I hope you're right, but it goes against everything Tudor have done for the last 12 years, with sole the exception of the Pelagos line. (Although I will admit, it does appear that very recently Rolex does seem to be loosening the reigns a little, with not only the Pelagos 39 but the BB54, so who knows?) Also, if they do go with something conventional like your design, i would imagine that's going to see the Black bay chronograph discontinued too, they occupy too much of the same space, and they only updated those fairly recently.

@ID-Guy 4 месяца назад

Something in my gut tells me that Tudor themselves are keen for a change-up. The BB line has been around for a decade plus and maybe. Just maybe they feel confident enough to produce the “Prince” again - Prince Diver, Chrono and all the rest. It would be brilliant! BUT I’ve been wrong more times than right 😉 Tonnes of potential here though 🥃

@BAF605 4 месяца назад

I don't know if this would be the winner they need . If they don't come up with something soon they should rename themselves The Black Bay Company.

@georgeii2629 4 месяца назад

As always, great thoughts on this topic. But I have to honestly admit that I'm extremely bored with this panda or reverse panda dial design these days. The Omega Moon Watch has always bored me to death. I prefer to wear the Breitling Avenger B01 Night Mission in yellow or one of the Omega Dark Side of The Moon models. They are far more interesting than one of the Tudor chronographs. And if I want something really special, then it can only be the JLC Polaris Chronograph.

I saw the classic chronographs they did which were very 70s inspired looked fantastic. This thing does not appeal to me at all.

@ID-Guy 4 месяца назад

Something about those early spot colours of the "Homeplate" and "Monte Carlo"... so, so, good... Maybe, just maybe they give these designs a bit more of a boost (somehow) 🥃

@avip671 4 месяца назад

That date just ruins the symmetry of the dial

@ID-Guy 4 месяца назад

The whole 12, 9 and 6 sub-dials are super polarising too. Asymmetry is definitely the name of the game with this Valjoux inspired machine 😉🥃

@avip671 4 месяца назад

@ID-Guy i dont mind the sub dials because they differentiate themselves that way from the daytona, and if the logo is placed correctly and the 3 o'clock, it won't hurt the eyes, the date just puts everything off and makes it feel squished. Otherwise, great watch, great renders, but not for me. If im gonna spend the money, it has to be perfect

@user-ji2hn5pe3n 4 месяца назад

I normally like most of the new Tudor design but this one looks totally random. If this would be a 150€ Seiko quarz chrono i wouldn't notice it at all.

Why would they release another chrono? Wouldn't that just cannibalise the black bay chrono?

@Joe-xo3xy 4 месяца назад

@IDGuy-Tudor is actually annoying me now; They have such great ideas but because they want to devalue the product and make it a lesser version of a Rolex, they make very great compromises.The placement of the subdial already makes it a failure when compared to the earlier versions. I kindly ask that you go back and review the Tudor Fast Rider Ducati colored editions and see the design tweak that absolutely ruined it. They had Tudor at the 12 o clock position and left the dial entirely empty. They are very good are ruining an almost great product
