I read the article and would be very interested in the ceramic Pelagos as presented. No interest in the Black Bay Chronograph until Tudor fixes the hands and sub dials which are unreadable in certain light conditions due to reflection. I previously owned this model. A GMT Pelagos does nothing for me. I would like to see an upgrade of the movements to all in-house across the line-up. Looking forward to Basel 18.

Tudor Basel Predictions Article

How about a pelagos blue with aged lume markers and a roulette date wheel?

I like the ceramic pelagos idea, it looks cool. But I feel if they ever make all ceramic watch with full ceramic bracelet, it will be very expensive and will hit the submariner pricing levels that make it very risky from marketing point of view. Let's see

How about a stainless pelagos in 40mm with a 20mm to 16mm bracelet?

Black diving or ceramic bezels are the Holy Grail these days it seems, so makes sense to put it on the controversial chrono and make it more buyer friendly, looks pretty good. GMT Pelagos has been longed for for a while.

I think the look of a the Tudor chronograph, in the article, with circular hour plots just looks off...would look much, much better with sticks IMHO!

I am really hopeful Tudor comes out with a re-release of their 1990-early 2000 chronographs with updated movement and ceramic bezel.

GMT Pelagos. I think they might try a different color just to differentiate the watch enough from the regular Pelagos. I'm perhaps more excited about what Tudor puts out than Rolex

I’m probably in the minority here but I’d love to see a Ranger with a date added and taken down to 39mm.

Agreed...I could see it happening, perhaps with a different color scheme as mentioned above.

Maybe a Pepsi bezel? I kid, I kid.

I think Tudor would do well to redesign some of the dressier watches this year rather than mess around with the already popular divers.

It would be nice to see Tudor come out with a new GMT model versus adding the GMT function to the BB or Pelagos. Not sure it would fit in their heritage line as they really didn't have a solid GMT in their previous production. To my knowledge there never was a Tudor version of the GMT Master.

Nonetheless it would be cool to see a Tudor GMT! Or a 39mm BB diver.

Snoozefest for me to be honest.

I think they need to lay off the B.B. for a year - too many variations . Though I can see some cosmetic fixes to the Tudor chrono B.B. (diff hand set, maybe ceramic bezel like others have mentioned) and possibly a Tudor B.B. chrono GMt- the current movement is breitling’a B01 and they would just need to swap it out for a B04.

Agree with this, I'm guessing the would upgrade to the in-house movement too

The Black Bay is boring. Yawn. Tudor better wake up or risk disappearing like they did years ago. There black bay chrono was a 'bust'....cant give them away.

Give me a Pepsi or Coke Tudor GMT and I might wake up from Tudors snorefest the last couple of years.

I really hope they fix the chrono

It has so much potential.

It needs sticks, a thinner profile, a crown to match the pushers and more contrast/legibility on the sub dials

Make it a useful chrono

Do all of that and you can keep your odd but trademark-ee snowflake hands

Although chronos really should have straight/sword hands
