Ooooohhhh....
From Tudors Instagram just now. Possibly a new Tudor Sub?
Ooooohhhh....
Oh wow now that would be irresistible!
As long as it's slab sided, it is bound to end up on SC
Funny. I got an email from Yema today about its Marine Nationale model:
https://en.yema.com/
Prediction
- Slab sided case
- Silly overly large handset
- Stupid pretend rivet bracelet
Why can’t I see anything on Tudors Instagram
It’s presented in an odd way.
Go here. https://www.instagram.com/tudorwatch/ And then click the logo top left.
Ah ok I see it’s in the story - also shows this - oh help me
Interesting!.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
More likely to be another Black Bay derivative if you look at the first watch in below

Nice

I am more hopeful.
The English insta story suggests the blue snowflake is the "quintessential " Tudor MN. (Their choice of word).
If they were to issue something different, that is an odd phrase to use.

Interesting... it's not only Tudor:
translated from a French website, apparently there is going to be a Marine Nationale clothing line as well
In spring 2021, it is therefore Tudor and Yema who become partners (under license) with the French Navy in the field of watchmaking.
The official launch of the French Navy's online store is scheduled for May 6.
If it's not a blue Pelagos in 39mm with no date and an aluminium insert then I'll be very disappointed.
I think it might just be a strap relationship with Tudor. Makes no sense for another watch release so close to the panda chrono. The double announcement with Yema also a bit odd. MN straps with Tudor watches rather than a new Tudor watch therefore ?
I think it’s along these lines.
A retail tie up between who ever owns the MN trademark (the French MOD) and Tudor. They will sell MN branded blackbays, the odd strap etc. Along with some vintage inspired clothing (and white flags ) There won’t be a new watch unless it’s a special colour scheme that is released in the future.
I think some people (including me) might be disappointed.

The little teaser on the Yema website looks likes like a Navygraf with MN crown and different bezel.
Think this is more about the clothing

Certainly reads like a watch - if sold in France then Brexit charges would apply?
From their Facebook page
The National Marine brand embodies all of this.
She is young, like our sailors.
She is dynamic, socially and environmentally engaged and offers quality products, to put salt and spray in your daily life!
So from May 6th, you can find the entire universe of the Navy on the shop website. National Marine. Gov. fr and on social media ′′ National Marine - The Shop ′′!
Wonder if you can buy an aircraft carrier.
On their insta feed it’s all about vintage dive watches, nothing about clothing. We will have to see. Exciting

Odd this partnership wasn't announced with the new releases the other week - wonder if it'll be a way to bring the Pelagos range back onto customers radar. They're great watches but have been completely eclipsed by the Black Bay Range.
Hope it’s not just a tease by Tudor
To put things back into context, the french navy/marine nationale, decided to start a brand. I suppose it's a way for them to promote themselves as well as help other french businesses...
If I remember well, yema had in the past a partnership with the french air force, but nothing really ties them up with the marine nationale.
For yema, just like tudor, that's a partnership with a clothes/stuff brand in parallel of the marine nationale, not directly with the actual militry (I wish it was to issue watches to the actual forces but these times are long gone unfortunately...).
That being said, if they were to actually reissue the snowflake submariner, who cares about these petty details!
Hodonkee have coverage, it's just an announcement of the partnership. No actual products until later in the year.

The Yema as expected is branded blue versions of the Navygraf.

4 Yema watches on the Official MN Store website - no sign of a Tudor :-

Interested to see what this will be. Can't see it being a new watch release, as awesome as that would be. Smaller Pelagos, take my kidney please.
Actually laughed out loud at the illegitimate chocolates
What translator did you use to get that? Google reckons there chocolate tarpaulins which is close ‘bache”
Don’t think there is a translation of the actual word ‘Bachis’ it’s the name of the caps with the pom-pom
the french navy wear i.e. like the box.
I have been laughing far too hard at chocolate barstewards.
Mouth products.
