Looking forward to findout out how the Black Bay range further expands on Monday!
I’ve previously commented on this topic but I’m going to say black bay 39 in bronze, Kenissi movement, with a 369 dial. Essentially a bb58 bronze but no rotating bezel.
Square indices and crown guards on the BB58 would be superb (so I am sure it will never happen).
My best guess is a SS BB39 with jubilee bracelet will show up.
It's live. New 37mm BB called the BB54. New red bezel 41.
Some good moves by Tudor. Introducing the T-for clasp to a lot of models along with the new movement. Not sure I understand the new bracelet on the BB 41 burgundy. Not really a dive watch aesthetic. Disappointed to see the new GMT had no T-fit and I assume is as thick as the current model.
Thankfully for me nothing I am interested in.
Has the BB58 now been discontinued?
No you just need to scroll… a lot…

So the BB36 now has a jubilee bracelet, new movement and clasp, and also comes in 39mm. That’s a good upgrade, although would prefer a 3 link bracelet.
Edit *looks like this BB36/39 line up doesn’t include the classic black & silver variant anymore, it’s black & gilt or blue & silver, like the BB58 line up. That’s disappointing. I guess a black & silver 36mm with all that spec would’ve been too much of an Explorer killer. Make it gilt, give it a jubilee and there’s enough of a difference, enough boxes left unticked to keep people hankering for big brother.
Polar dial GMT in 41mm looks great, will sell like hot cakes, probably unavailable for 2 years.
Regular BB has had a bit of a refresh? Metas movement, new clasp, is it slimmed down? Probably about time that line up had a lick of paint. New BB54 is interesting in that a 37mm diver is a bit irregular these days. Has the new clasp, still got the rivets.
I think overall, when you add the changes to the new watches they’ve released in the last 7 or 8 months - BB Pro, Pelagos 39 and Ranger, then their line up is very solid now.

I’ll probably change my mind when I see it in person.. but right now that polar GMT looks horrendous to my eye. I do not think it suits a white dial at all, and the markers/hands have zero contrast against it either.
Can’t say there’s anything in this batch I’m fussed about, which is maybe a good thing.
Yep, and personally, I don’t like the white hands on the white chrono either.
Disappointing from Tudor, I'd have held back the Pelagos 39mm until this show as it's the only decent thing they've launched recently. Maybe the Asian market wanted a smaller dive watch, but I don't think many westerners were asking for a smaller Black Bay than the 58.
Rolex get the limelight this year.
New white dial GMT looks very nice but also looks like the same slab case
Agreed on this.
No hitting it out of the park for Tudor this year.
As a repeat Tudor buyer I find it hard to work out what I might want from this release.
The white GMT nearly had me, but old bracelet without micro adjustment and so I already know it won’t tick the boxes. Holding off … for now!
I agree that the polar GMT is hideous. Only thing of interest for me this year is the new burgundy BB41 IF its slimmed down. Do we know if it is?
Liking the salmon dial Royal.
37mm BB is the only appealing one for me, but it feels like Rolex and Tudor main "innovation" each year seems to be changing the case size by 1 or 2mm and withdrawing a previous size.
