"Carbon composite, first used in a watch case as long ago as 1980, has become a familiar material on the sportier end of the watch industry for its modernist good looks. Tudor, famous for its steel watches, took a moment to get round to carbon. But for Tudor, carbon is not simply a decorative motif. Tudor Carbon is one of the lightest materials available for watchcases,"
"The case, the tachymeter one-piece bezel, and the twin sub-registers on the dial are all rendered in carbon fiber. Even the strap, made in a composite leather and rubber (with a granular texture taken from F1 race tires), has carbon fiber end links, giving the watch a crisp, self-contained look that pushes the dial display to the fore. Pushers are in PVD finished titanium, while the crown is PVD finished steel."
Tudor launched the Black Bay Chrono Carbon 25 to coincide with Miami's F1 Grand Prix and as part of its sponsorship of the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls F1 team. The Carbon 25 was worn by 2025 drivers Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar. The watch uses carbon composite extensively: the case, one-piece tachymeter bezel, and twin sub-registers are carbon fiber, while the strap combines composite leather and rubber with carbon fiber end links. Pushers are PVD-finished titanium and the crown is PVD-finished steel. The domed racing white dial features ocean blue team accents and Tudor's white snowflake hour hand.
