In early 2024, Tudor showed pictures on social media of Jay Chou (Tudor ambassador and one of Taiwan’s biggest musicians) wearing what was thought to be a one-of-a-kind Black Bay Chrono with a pink dial. On March 28, one day after announcing a partnership with Inter Miami (the pink-wearing soccer team owned by David Beckham, another Tudor ambassador), Tudor confirmed that the Black Bay Chrono Pink is indeed a production model that will be sold globally, although “few of them will ever be made” they say.
What’s Different About This Pink Black Bay Chrono?
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Pink looks just like an existing 79360N with a “Panda” dial–except the dial is pink instead of white, and it comes on a Jubilee-style five-link bracelet instead of an Oyster. Notably, this style of bracelet comes with T-Fit, Tudor’s popular Rolex Glidelock-like micro-adjustable clasp system.
These are probably Chinese-made bracelets, though, as they lack the word “Swiss” underneath “Tudor Geneve.” I have the original Black Bay Chrono model and its clasp is marked Swiss. The case height of 14.4mm remains unchanged, and although some people complain about that thickness, I find it perfectly wearable.

Price
The list price for the Black Bay Chrono Pink is $5,675, which makes sense because the five-link bracelet costs a $125 premium over the Oyster on other models, and $5,550 is the list price for the current Black Bay Chrono on an Oyster bracelet.
Can I Actually Buy One?
Tudor’s Instagram account said that the pink BB Chrono “might not be for everyone, and that’s OK because few of them will ever be made.” But they later confirmed that “the Black Bay Chrono Pink is officially released globally from March 28th 2024. Please contact your official Tudor retailer to confirm its local availability.”
So, technically, it will be on sale worldwide, but don’t expect an allocation unless you’re a VIP at your local Tudor AD. Note that the pink BB Chrono is not currently listed on Tudor’s model selection page. I’m on good terms with my Tudor AD, and I’ll put it to you this way…I’m not expecting one.
