Bold, loud, and impossible to ignore. 🐝✨

We’re taking a close look at Tudor's (@tudorwatch) Black Bay Chrono 39, better known as the "Bumblebee"!

Unlike Tudor's previous 41-42mm Black Bay Chrono releases, this one dials down the size to a versatile 39mm while cranking up the volume on design.

Tudor didn't hold back with a soft pastel this time around. Instead, the Bumblebee earns its name with an uncompromising, vivid yellow dial paired with a black tachymeter bezel and matching sub-dials.

00:00Today, we're looking at Tudor's Black Bay Chrono 39, better known as the Bumblebee.
00:05It's a bold watch with a guaranteed head turnover dial, but does it have us buzzing,
00:10or can we feel the sting of disappointment?
00:11Let's find out.
00:13Before we get to the dial, the most interesting thing about this watch is actually its size.
00:17Recent Black Bay Chronos have arrived measuring it at around 41-42mm, but as the name suggests,
00:23this one measures in at 39.
00:25Turning to the dial, how do you feel about yellow?
00:27It's the most uncompromising entry in Tudor's daring collection, which also includes the
00:31turquoise and pink dialed Black Bay Chronos famously worn by David Beckham.
00:35While those watches opted for the most pastel version of their signature colors, the Bumblebee
00:39doesn't hold back.
00:40This color jumps out at you right out of the box, while the black tachymeter bezel and matching
00:44sub-dials complete its unmistakable look.
00:47As a result, it's sure to attract attention.
00:49I wouldn't wear it if you're wanting to remain incognito.
00:52Personally, I've enjoyed having the Bumblebee on my wrist immensely.
00:55The screw-down pushers have a satisfying snap to them, and the build quality is as excellent
00:59as you would expect from Tudor.
01:01So what do you think?
01:02Is 39mm the sweet spot?
01:04Does the yellow go too hard, or just hard enough?
