# Yellow Dial Chronograph Tudor Black Bay Chrono 39 Bumblebee is a Bold Colourway to the Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2026-06-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-bay-chrono-39 References: [tudorwatch](https://www.tudorwatch.com/)  [Tudor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-bay-chrono-carbon) has expanded its Black Bay Chrono lineup with the Black Bay Chrono 39 Bumblebee, a new sports chronograph distinguished by its vivid yellow dial and contrasting black sub-dials. Housed in a 39mm stainless-steel case, the watch retains the signature design elements of the Black Bay family, including beveled lugs, a signed crown, satin-brushed and polished surfaces, and Tudor's distinctive Snowflake hands. A fixed steel bezel fitted with a black anodized aluminium tachymeter insert reinforces the model's motorsport-inspired character while maintaining the robust appearance associated with the collection. Powering the watch is the [COSC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/top-time-b01)-certified Manufacture Calibre [MT5813](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tudor-pink-black-bay-chronograph), an automatic chronograph movement featuring a column-wheel architecture, vertical clutch system, silicon balance spring, and a 70-hour power reserve. The Black Bay Chrono 39 Bumblebee is available through Tudor boutiques and authorized retailers with a retail price of $6,725 USD.
