🗞️ What’s New?! 🗞️

🦩 Tudor Black Bay Chronograph Goes “Flamingo Blue” 🦩

Following on from the Pink of last year, last week, Tudor added another splash of tropical flair to its Black Bay Chronograph lineup with the new “Flamingo Blue” dial! 🌊🦩

Housed in a 41mm stainless steel case, the vibrant dial is paired with black subdials & a tachymeter bezel for bold contrast. 🤝 

With Tudor’s “Snowflake” hands (featuring Super-Luminova) & white hour markers completing the striking aesthetic. 🌟

Underneath, the watch runs on the COSC-certified MT5813 calibre, boasting a 70 hour power reserve. ⚙️ 

While the five link ““Jubilee-esc” bracelet with T-Fit clasp smartly rounds off the design. 💪

Priced at $5,875, the popping non-limited Black Bay Chrono is available now at Tudor. 🛍️✨

⚡️ J Balvin x G-Shock DWE5600 “Time Matters” Box Set ⚡️

J Balvin teams up with G-Shock for his first ever collaboration, introducing the limited edition “Time Matters” box set. 🎶

The set features the G-Shock DWE5600 with an interchangeable black & translucent matte yellow bezel & band. ⚫️🟡 

The watch’s face displays the text “Ma’ G”, a nod to his single from the album JOSE. 👊 

His lightning bolt logo, inspired by his Energía album, appears on the band, keepers, backlight & is engraved on the case back alongside his signature smiley face logo. ⚡🙂

Spanish text, written in Balvin’s own handwriting, marks the button labels, making this the first G-Shock to include the language. ✍️

The watch is expected to retail for around $230. With pre-orders available on Casio US right now! 💰️
