"Integrated and in-house. Under 5k on strap."

I couldn't drop £5k on a Tudor....in house or not.
It's too thick for starters.

$4500 with in house chronograph based on the north flag movement- does not look that thick in the side shots
The positives . A Tudor in house chrono movement. The price at $4.6k. The size at 41. Chrono with 200m wr. COSC certified. Lush textured dial. A date in a black bay (!). But there are negatives. The black bay is a diver and the bezel is a racetimer . Bezel non rotating . Chrono subdials almost totally obscured by the snowflake hour hand. On bracelet it's far too much steel - ceramic black bezel would been better. Looks ok on the leather. My advice - wait for the generation 2, they will sort it

It will be interesting to see how quickly this movement is used in other models.
This first version is confused, personally I don't like the Black Bay link - seems pointless when they already have several chronograph lines.
North Flag chronograph would have been more adventurous
Fast rider next possibly to get the in house chrono. Then a special thinner version of the Monte Carlo? That would make the current Blue one quite desirable

That actually looks good to me, and I am glad they didn't go for a shiny ceramic bezel. To me they got the modern/vintage balance right. I think it'll sell. The thing they should address though is the hands design - they're not quite right - and the round indices.

Sorry but I don't like it. The snowflake hand just doesn't work on a chronograph. It looks like another Tudor created for WIS.
Would have been better if they had used the 'lollipop' hour hand, that would then match the round indices IMO. The 'snowflake' one just looks totally wrong, & throws what otherwise looks like a nice face out of kilter.
The hands look too thin for my liking.

The whole thing looks a bit of a jumble really, not 'of a whole'. Nice idea, dreadful execution.
This and I would buy it tomorrow
