I have absolutely no idea how I've managed to miss this over the last week-or-so, but wow! That new selection of BB Chrono's is simply stunning:-
I do get a slight Daytona vibe from them (not a bad thing), although it's still more than different enough to be taken seriously as it's own thing, probably leaning towards the white even though the black looks more legible. Priced at £3,900 on bracelet and with the recent price hike by Omega for the Speedy could we see this as the go-to "Budget" Chrono on the market, especially considering it's got the heritage, and who am I kidding, It's a COSC Chrono for under £4K!? They've also got the size right at 41mm making it wearable for the majority of people, I was worried that it was going to be 42-44 so really pleased with that. It's likely to be my watch for 2021 if they don't become a unicorn of sorts before I buy one, I can definitely see it having a waiting list and the initial price going up somewhat on the grey market as it's likely to be popular and sell above list.
Personally, I feel that Tudor have been hitting home-runs, the BB58 Blue last year is gorgeous and priced to sell, these new additions are again fantastic time pieces and priced at a point more accessible than the competition (I would have preferred a red BB58 than the other colour ways but I guess they are holding that for 2022).
Whats everyone else's thoughts and opinion? Are you disappointed that they didn't look to do something more unique / interesting or do you think they've moved into a space that would benefit from this type of aggressively priced time piece?
