Tudor Black Bay Chrono owners.

[Redwolf]

I would like to get one. Ideally the white dial although I do like both.
One thing I’m hesitant about is, how is the legibility on the white dial?
All photos and videos I’ve seen the hands seem to disappear into the dial. That would drive me crazy.
Is it the case or is it just the online pics/vids?

Thanks

One thing to be aware of - the snowflake hands cover the subdials so using chrono at 3pm is pointless.Thats the reason they are a bit smaller than non chrono black bays.

I mean it looks great but I agree functionally that’s a bad design.

Its perfectly legible in real life, I think it's camera flash/angle of the shot that makes it look like it's disappeared.

Totally agree with the others though, the chrono is just for show, in reality it's useless as several hours of the day the hands obscure the subdials.
But how often do you actually use a chrono???

Had the black, didn't mind the snowflake hands as the Chrono typically isn't used on that model, but the domed sapphire gave too much reflection and is what hampered legibility for me. Might be less of an issue with the white dial. I moved mine on.

I think this is a problem with most chronos, and which is why I have gone off them, after buying a Heuer Carrera chrono. Whenever I see a photo of one now, I immediately see how difficult it would be to read the sub-dials at certain times of the day.

Have the reverse Panda and love it. Great value and quality feel.

That’s the ticket right there.

For legibility it has to be the reverse panda as per image, white hands on white dial isn’t as legible although either dial is stunning TBH

I've had both, Panda and Reverse Panda, and Reverse Panda is definitely better for legibility

I had the new Panda and it is without a doubt one of the best looking watches Tudor have produced in recent years. I ended up selling it as never use a Chrono function and prefer the clean and simple lines of something like my Ranger and Black Bay ETA.
