Tudor’s Black Bay Chrono ‘Carbon 26’ brings Formula 1 materials to the wrist

Tudor's Black Bay Chrono Carbon 26 was introduced in April 2026 with a design closely tied to the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls Formula 1 team. The 42mm carbon-fibre case and bezel bring the motorsport connection into the actual construction of the watch.

A white dial, black carbon-textured counters and small flashes of yellow draw on the racing team's 2026 livery. PVD-coated titanium pushers and crown reinforce the lightweight technical approach, while the black strap gives the bright dial a dramatic frame.

The automatic MT5813 chronograph movement offers a 70-hour power reserve and uses a column wheel and vertical clutch. The watch retains 200m water resistance and has a chronometer certification, keeping it capable despite its visually experimental package.

The Carbon 26 is limited to 2,026 pieces, with a numbered caseback marked by a chequered racing motif. In a year when Tudor also shrank its steel Black Bay Chrono to 39mm, this edition offers the more overtly motorsport-focused alternative.
