The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Panda puts a white dial and two black counters beneath the Black Bay’s snowflake hands—a slightly unconventional pairing that gives this chronograph its character. The contrast is crisp, but the broad hour hand can obscure part of a counter as it passes, a detail worth deciding whether you find charming or distracting.

Introduced in 2021, this version brought a slimmer case and black aluminum tachymeter bezel to the Chrono formula, replacing the earlier model’s steel bezel. It’s the generation to seek if you want this particular look, though the case still has substantial wrist presence. Inside, the MT5813 is derived from Breitling’s B01, with a column wheel and vertical clutch; note that the elapsed-minutes counter runs to 45 rather than 30. The screw-down pushers also demand a little preparation before timing anything—less grab-and-go stopwatch, more deliberate mechanical ritual.

What owners love

The off-white dial and black subdials give it a softer look than a stark white panda, with the red chronograph seconds hand adding just enough color. Owners often find that dial is what keeps drawing them back to the watch.
The MT5813 gets praise for its steady timekeeping and positive chronograph action. Its roughly 70-hour power reserve is useful, and the movement feels like a substantial part of the watch rather than an afterthought.

Common Criticisms

It wears bigger than the 41mm diameter suggests: the thick case and broad bracelet make it a substantial watch on the wrist. Owners with smaller wrists commonly find the height more troublesome than the diameter, particularly under a cuff.
The snowflake hour hand can cover a sizable portion of a chronograph subdial as it passes over it. It suits the Black Bay look, but it isn't the most practical hand shape for reading elapsed minutes.
The screw-down chronograph pushers make spontaneous timing fiddly: you have to unscrew them before using the stopwatch. That's a recurring annoyance for owners who actually use the chronograph rather than simply enjoying the panda dial.
