Style Edit: Tudor’s new models at Watches and Wonders 2026
The maison brought back the Monarch collection, complete with quirky dial and numerals, and added new models to its Royal and Black Bay marques.
www.scmp.comHere’s a concise update on Tudor at Watches & Wonders 2026.
- Tudor debuted six new models for its Centennial year, including updates to the Black Bay line, the Monarch comeback, and a new full-ceramic Royal/Monarch-esque bracelet concept. The releases were timed to celebrate Tudor’s 100th anniversary and to broaden the brand’s ceramic-material storytelling.[1][3]
- The Monarch collection returned with refreshed styling: a faceted stainless steel case, an integrated bracelet, and a dial palette inspired by papyrus textures, with a mix of Roman and Arabic numerals on some models. Several Monarch variants offer day complications on certain sizes.[3]
- The Black Bay line saw continued expansion, including a ceramic variant that extends Tudor’s use of high-tech materials and METAS/COSC-certified calibres across selected references. Expect the usual robust water resistance and Tudor reliability in these updates.[9][3]
Quick takeaway
- If you’re after the most high-tech Tudor pieces from the event, look for the METAS/COSC-certified Black Bay models and the fully ceramic Black Bay variants. For novelty and centennial symbolism, the Monarch relaunch and the expanded Royal/Black Bay lineup are the focus points.[1][3]
Illustration concept (example)
- A simple visual: a row of Tudor watches showing three themes—Black Bay ceramic (dark tones), Monarch (bright papyrus-inspired dial), and Royal/Black Bay upgrades (varied dial colors). This helps highlight material, styling, and complication differences at a glance.
