New Tudor BB ceramic in W&W 24?

RB Formula 1 driver Daniel Ricciardo spotted wearing a blue dial BB ceramic. Could it be a new release from Tudor this April?

It would be yet another "just not quite captivating enough" to buy it release by Tudor, IMO.

It’s not for me. But nice blue dial.

There is something I don’t like about those photos though.

Looks good, but prefer the black dial over it

Nice watch but not for me. Owned 4 Tudor watches in my life and (separate) after a short period of time, no bonding with this brand.
Never say never is also I learned….

As a Tudor fan, It looks "whatever" to me. Tudor knows what it's customers would line up or even attract new customers, but the question is will the Wilsdorf Foundation allow them?

How about a 39mm Pepsi on Five Link, New Big Block Chrono in SS, or maybe a BB58 Green Dial/Bezel all Metas certified of course.

I'm guessing this is the same makeup as the Ceramic BB. I've never understood why that comes with a PVD coated 316L bezel. I mean, a lot of the attraction of ceramic watches is their scratch resistance. So why marry it to an element that so easily scratched? At least they should have sprung for DLC.

Was hoping they'd have a matching ceramic bracelet.

I think the bezel insert is ceramic, but the bezel itself is steel. Probable makes it less likely to crack if dropped. But the insert is not going to scratch.

I love that Tudor is an F1 sponsor but the team name is hot garbage. In any case, I suppose it would be really nice to see Tudor release a chronograph in the team livery.

I agree on all fronts!!! I’ve been hoping for a Rolex or Tudor name out there in the field.

Unfortunately, I’m certain they won’t do any f1 releases under 41mm so my tiny wrist will never get to participate :/

I think Daniel is great for the brand, personality-wise. It was rough to see him down slide so quickly. I think that move to McLaren right when they put out that horrible car was the perfect storm to really break his confidence…. Hopefully they can spend a few seasons mid-field at least

I look forward to seeing what Tudor might put out in relation to this. I really like the Alinghi editions even though I can’t pull them off lol.

Thank you for sharing. I really like this combo.

The bright colorway reminds me of the very fun Schumacher Speedmasters from the '90s.

I’m a fan of the brand, but not that watch.

Too much contrast between case and dial for me.

I'll stick with the OG
