White dial on Rubber Band, full set 2026

The Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 26” continues the long tradition of TUDOR’s presence on the track as well as that of a TUDOR watch for each Formula 1 race season. It pays homage to the 2026 car from the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls team. The car was tweaked for the new season—and so has the watch. It features a lightweight case rendered in carbon fibre and the column-wheel Manufacture Chronograph Calibre. The aesthetic accents of the Black Bay Chrono “Carbon 26” directly pay homage to the Visa Cash App Racing Bulls team car, the VCARB 03. The striking yellow present on the engine cowling adorns the dial on the “Carbon 26”, lending it a high-speed look. This chronograph represents TUDOR’s relentless pursuit of mechanical performance.

Carbon fibre is the ideal material for a racing chronograph because of its weight-saving advantages. Less weight equals more speed, and that speed can be accurately measured using Manufacture Calibre MT5813’s chronograph function in conjunction with the one-piece tachymetric bezel, which is also fashioned out of lightweight carbon fibre. Even the end-links that affix the hybrid strap to the case are rendered in carbon fibre—every little bit of weight shed counts. For a purely aesthetic touch, even the chronograph sub-counters as well as the date window surround are rendered in carbon fibre thanks to a layered dial construction, alternating brass discs and carbon fibre sheets.
