Tudor’s New Black Bay 54 ‘Lagoon Blue’: The Ultimate Summer Watch?

Tudor just dropped a colorful new version of their 37mm dive watch: the Black Bay 54 ‘Lagoon Blue’. Mechanically, nothing’s changed here—it’s still powered by the MT5400 movement with 200 meters of water resistance—but the new dial, bezel, and bracelet give this release a totally different feel.

Dial and Bezel Updates That Shift the BB54’s Look

The blue dial—somewhere between light turquoise and ice blue—has a sandy texture to it. It’s bright, metallic, and paired with that mirror-polished bezel insert, it’s very eye-catching. The aluminum insert features recessed, sand-textured numerals and indices, and the overall effect is clean and a bit playful.

My unsolicited opinion? I wish the bezel were brushed. But I can’t deny that the polished finish adds an interesting contrast without going overboard.

Now on the Five-Link Bracelet

This is also the first Black Bay 54 to come on Tudor’s five-link bracelet—previously seen on the Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue, Chrono Pink, METAS-certified Black Bays, and others. It offers a bit more visual variety with those polished center links and pairs nicely with the new dial and bezel. Like all of Tudor’s newer five-link bracelets, the clasp features T-Fit micro-adjust functionality.

Between the bracelet, bezel, and dial, this release feels like more than a seasonal variant. It’s an entirely new look for the BB54—still serious in spec, but softened up enough to feel a bit playful and vibrant.

Not a Limited Edition—But Maybe a Bit Limited

While the Lagoon Blue isn’t a numbered limited edition like the Black Bay Chrono Carbon 25, it does fall under Tudor’s “Daring Watches” umbrella. That’s the category Tudor uses for “Exclusive Watches and Limited Editions.” It’s not a promise of scarcity, but odds are this version won’t be produced in the same quantities as the standard black dial.

This release comes in at $4,350—a bit higher than the $4,175 standard BB54 on a bracelet (or $3,950 on a strap).

Final Thoughts

I haven’t handled it in person yet, but based on the press shots and specs, I’d gladly wear this new Black Bay 54 all summer. The dial and bezel feel fresh—we haven’t seen anything quite like this within the Black Bay line. And I prefer Tudor’s five-link bracelet over the Oyster on every model that offers both. With the T-Fit clasp, it’s a great everyday bracelet.

This isn’t just a bright colorway for summer—it’s the BB54 with a whole new look. Let us know what you think: would you take the Lagoon Blue over the standard BB54? And how do you feel about polished bezels on a dive watch?
