Emirates’ Spring/Summer collection highlights the 18th edition of its Bvlgari amenity kits, continuing a partnership of over 16 years.
First Class passengers receive 30ml Bvlgari Le Gemme bottles, skincare, and travel essentials.
Business Class kits include travel-sized fragrances, reusable bags, and essential toiletries for long-haul flights.
The new kits incorporate materials containing recycled content and will be gradually introduced on selected long-haul Emirates routes throughout 2026.
Flying First or Business Class comes with plenty of perks, but almost all of them are on loan. The lie-flat seat gets folded back up, the champagne disappears somewhere over the next time zone, and those noise-cancelling headphones are connected to the plane with enough wiring to discourage any souvenir hunting. The amenity kit is one of the few parts of the experience airlines actually expect you to slip into your carry-on.
Emirates is leaning into that small pleasure with its latest collection of Bvlgari amenity kits for First and Business Class passengers. This new Spring/Summer range marks the 18th edition created by the two brands, continuing a partnership that has lasted for more than 16 years. Refreshed colours, cabin-specific fragrances and materials containing recycled content are all part of the update, which will gradually appear across selected long-haul routes throughout the year.
An amenity kit is never going to be the main reason anyone pays for a premium seat, but Emirates knows that luxury travel is often defined by the smaller details. With polished designs, exclusive Bvlgari fragrances and enough everyday essentials to remain useful after landing, these kits feel less like complimentary in-flight toiletries and more like a travel accessory worth taking home.

What Comes Inside Emirates’ New Bvlgari Amenity Kits?
The short answer is that it depends on where you are seated. Emirates has created separate collections for First and Business Class, each with its own selection of bag designs, fragrances, skincare products and travel essentials. Let’s take a closer look at what passengers can expect in each cabin.
Emirates First Class Bvlgari Amenity Kits
First Class receives the more substantial of the two collections, with two bag designs for men and another two for women. The men’s versions are finished in chocolate-toned faux leather with deep burgundy lining and detailing, while the women’s kits use champagne-toned metallic faux leather with soft blush-pink interiors. The colours have also been selected to complement Emirates’ refurbished cabin interiors and the fragrance bottles packed inside.
The fragrances are where First Class pulls ahead. Women’s kits include an exclusive 30ml bottle of Bvlgari Le Gemme Sahare Eau de Parfum, built around ambergris and Taif rose. Men receive a 30ml bottle of Le Gemme Yasep Eau de Parfum, a warmer woody fragrance inspired by blood-red jasper, with sandalwood and musk at its centre.
Each fragrance is accompanied by a matching Bvlgari hydrating face and body emulsion and lip balm. Emirates also includes the usual long-haul necessities: a dental kit, cleansing towel, deodorant, tissues and a foldaway hairbrush. Women’s First Class kits add a Bvlgari-branded golden pocket mirror, which feels far more like a proper keepsake than something destined for the hotel bathroom drawer.
Those 30ml fragrances are not insignificant, either. Bvlgari currently lists the standard 125ml bottles of both Le Gemme Sahare and Le Gemme Yasep at USD $500. Calculated purely by volume, the fragrance inside each First Class kit represents roughly USD $120 before considering the bag, skincare products and everything else tucked inside. That does not give the exclusive travel bottle an official retail value, but it does make it a rather generous freebie.

Emirates Business Class Bvlgari Amenity Kits
Business Class turns down the bottle size without losing much of the presentation. Men receive a chocolate-brown fabric bag with a cool grey lining, while the women’s version comes in buttercream faux leather with soft pink accents. It is a calmer colour palette than First Class, but both designs still look polished enough to reuse after the flight.
The men’s kits feature Bvlgari Man Rain Essence Eau de Parfum, a fresh woody scent combining green tea, crystal musk and smoky guaiac wood. Women receive Omnia Crystalline Eau de Parfum, a lighter floral fragrance shaped around lotus, jasmine and sandalwood. Selected fragrances are presented in exclusive 5ml bottles created specifically for Emirates passengers.
The rest of the kit covers the practical essentials, including Bvlgari lip balm, face or body emulsion, a dental kit, deodorant, tissues and a foldaway hairbrush. Women’s Business Class kits also include a double-sided mirror. Based on Bvlgari’s current US prices, Omnia Crystalline is priced at USD $180, while Man Rain Essence comes at USD $135.
Emirates has also given some thought to what happens beyond the flight. Fabrics containing recycled content are used across both First and Business Class bags, while selected brushes, combs, mirror covers and other components incorporate recycled materials as well. Even the dental-kit packaging uses black kraft paper. It is a modest change in the context of a long-haul journey, but it makes sense for an amenity kit designed to remain useful after landing.

Why Emirates’ Bvlgari Amenity Kits Still Matter
There’s a reason amenity kits still matter in premium cabins. They are part toiletry bag, part souvenir and give you a sense that you are not sitting in Economy today. On Emirates, they also slot neatly into a much broader premium experience that can include lie-flat seating, airport lounge access, chauffeur-driven transfers, elevated dining and, on the A380, the airline’s famous onboard lounge. Unlike the seat or glass of champagne, however, the amenity kit is one of the few luxuries passengers are encouraged to take home.
Business Class passengers are no longer necessarily missing out on sleepwear, either. Emirates offers complimentary modal loungewear, slippers and a matching eye mask on selected long-haul services. The airline originally introduced the complete set on flights lasting nine hours or more, although current availability can vary depending on the route, flight duration, aircraft type and cabin configuration.
When a long-haul Business or First Class ticket can cost many thousands of dollars—and sometimes reach well into five figures—it makes sense that Emirates pays attention to even the smaller items. The amenity kit will never justify the fare by itself, but the reusable bag, Bvlgari fragrances and travel essentials all contribute to the sense that passengers are receiving something beyond a larger seat and a better meal.
As with most airline product rollouts, the exact kit you receive may depend on your cabin, route, travel date and aircraft. Emirates says the new collection will be introduced gradually across selected long-haul routes throughout 2026, so it may not appear on every premium flight immediately. Still, if one is waiting at your seat, it is another carefully considered detail designed to make the experience feel special—and one that remains useful long after landing.

Tudor arrived at Watches and Wonders 2026 with more than a new collection to unveil, using the occasion to celebrate 100 years since Hans Wilsdorf registered “The Tudor” in 1926. The milestone offered an opportunity to revisit the ideas that have guided the brand for a century while presenting a confident view of what Tudor has become and where it intends to go next.
The story is closely connected to “Born to Dare,” the motto Tudor introduced in 2017 to reflect both its history and modern identity, inspired by Wilsdorf’s ambition to create dependable watches capable of enduring demanding conditions. The campaign celebrates individuals who have pushed boundaries on land, across ice, through the air, and underwater. Their adventurous spirit still influences Tudor’s watchmaking and its choice of ambassadors around the world.
Leading the 2026 collection is the new Tudor Monarch, a model steeped in history that brings a legacy name into the brand’s next century, while adding a touch of elegance to a lineup famed for its rugged tool watches. Alongside this debut, Tudor has revitalized several beloved collections, staying true to the qualities that made them icons. Let’s dive into all the exciting Tudor releases unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2026.
TUDOR Releases at Watches & Wonders 2026 Overview:
TUDOR’s centenary line-up spans vintage-inspired elegance, practical travel watches and modern materials engineering. Although every model brings something different to the collection, these five stood out most for their design, wearability and individual character.
Created to mark Tudor’s centenary, the Monarch revives a historic name that appeared in the brand’s catalogue for decades while giving it a fresh identity for 2026. Its arrival also takes Tudor beyond the dive watches and sports models that dominate its modern reputation, introducing a more formal watch that draws on early design ideas without feeling like a straightforward recreation of something from the archives.
The 39mm stainless steel case combines polished and satin-brushed surfaces across sharply defined facets, while its 11.9mm thickness keeps the proportions suitable for everyday wear. The dark champagne dial has a warm, papyrus-like texture and follows an unusual error-proof arrangement, placing Roman numerals from ten to two and Arabic numerals from four to eight, with a small-seconds display adding further character to the classically styled face.
Visible through the exhibition caseback is the new Manufacture Calibre MT5662-2U, an automatic movement created specifically for the Monarch and finished with perlage, Côtes de Genève and an 18-carat gold inlay on its rotor. Both COSC and METAS Master Chronometer certification support its technical credentials, including resistance to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss, tested accuracy and a 65-hour power reserve that allows the watch to be set aside for the weekend without immediately requiring attention.
A faceted two-link steel bracelet continues the angular design of the case and includes Tudor’s adjustable T-fit clasp, while 100 metres of water resistance gives the Monarch enough practicality to sit comfortably outside the traditional dress-watch category. Listed at US$5,875, it is a distinctive centrepiece for Tudor’s anniversary collection, combining a lesser-known part of the company’s history with the manufacturing standards that now define the brand.

TUDOR Black Bay 54 | Image: TUDOR
TUDOR Black Bay 54
The Black Bay 54 returns for 2026 in a rich sapphire shade Tudor calls “Tudor blue,” bringing a brighter character to one of the brand’s most historically faithful dive watches. Its compact 37mm steel case takes its proportions from the Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7922 of 1954, Tudor’s first dive watch, while the unmarked unidirectional bezel, redesigned crown and lollipop seconds hand preserve the clean appearance of those early models. A sunray-brushed blue dial and matching bezel complete the refreshed design.
Inside is the automatic Manufacture Calibre MT5400, which provides a weekend-proof 70-hour power reserve and uses a silicon balance spring to support reliable timekeeping. The watch is water-resistant to 200 metres and can be paired with either a three-link steel bracelet or a fitted black rubber strap, both featuring Tudor’s rapidly adjustable T-fit clasp. Together, these details give the vintage-sized diver the performance and practicality expected from a modern Black Bay.

TUDOR Black Bay 58 GMT | Image: TUDOR
TUDOR Black Bay 58 GMT
The Black Bay 58 GMT receives a five-link bracelet for 2026, giving Tudor’s compact travel watch a more polished character inspired by the golden age of commercial aviation. The bracelet’s closely articulated links should also improve comfort on the wrist, while Tudor’s T-fit clasp allows quick length adjustments without tools.
Its 39mm stainless steel case is paired with a bidirectional 24-hour bezel featuring a black-and-burgundy anodized aluminum insert. Warm gilt accents appear across the curved bezel numerals, hands and applied markers, complementing the subtly radial-brushed black dial. The GMT hand tracks a second time zone, while rotating the bezel allows the wearer to follow a third, adding genuine travel functionality without disturbing the familiar proportions of the Black Bay 58.
Inside is Tudor’s integrated GMT Manufacture Calibre MT5450-U, which carries both COSC chronometer and METAS Master Chronometer certification while delivering a 65-hour power reserve. The certification covers accuracy, 200-metre water resistance and resistance to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss, leaving the Black Bay 58 GMT with the technical credentials of a modern travel watch beneath its distinctly vintage exterior.

TUDOR Black Bay 58 Ref. M7939A1A0NU-0001 | Image: TUDOR
TUDOR Black Bay 58
Since its introduction in 2018, the Black Bay 58 has become one of Tudor’s most recognizable watches, winning favour for its restrained proportions and close connection to the company’s diving heritage. Its name refers to 1958, the year Tudor introduced the Oyster Prince Submariner reference 7924, better known as the “Big Crown,” which was the brand’s first dive watch rated to 200 metres. For 2026, Tudor has refined the model without moving away from the qualities that made it so popular.
The stainless steel case retains its versatile 39mm diameter but now measures a slimmer 11.7mm thick, improving the way it sits on the wrist. Its updated shape is joined by a redesigned crown and unidirectional bezel, while the domed matt-black dial carries only two lines of text for a cleaner appearance. Pinched hands, applied hour markers and the familiar lollipop seconds hand maintain the link to Tudor’s early dive watches, with a domed sapphire crystal completing the vintage-inspired design.
Inside is the automatic Manufacture Calibre MT5400-U, which carries both COSC and METAS Master Chronometer certification and provides a 65-hour power reserve. Testing covers the fully assembled watch rather than the movement alone, assessing its accuracy, 200-metre water resistance and ability to function after exposure to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss. These credentials bring the Black Bay 58 in line with Tudor’s increasingly rigorous modern performance standards.
The updated model is available on a five-link steel bracelet, a three-link rivet-style bracelet or a fitted black rubber strap, with every option receiving Tudor’s tool-free T-fit adjustment system. The five-link bracelet gives the watch a more polished character, while the riveted bracelet and rubber strap preserve its familiar tool-watch personality. Rather than dramatically reinventing an established favourite, Tudor has concentrated on the details that owners notice most, producing a slimmer, cleaner and more technically accomplished Black Bay 58.

TUDOR Black Bay Ceramic | Image: Tudor
TUDOR Black Bay Ceramic
For 2026, the Black Bay Ceramic takes its all-black design one step further with the addition of a matching full-ceramic bracelet. Previously offered on a hybrid leather-and-rubber strap, the model now feels more complete and considerably more distinctive, with the lightweight bracelet continuing the case’s dark finish around the wrist. Tudor has paired it with a proprietary dual-folding clasp designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit.
The 41mm monobloc ceramic case has a micro-blasted matt finish, contrasted by polished bevelled edges that become visible as the light moves across the watch. Although the graduated insert is made from black ceramic with a sunray-satin finish, the bezel ring itself is black PVD-treated steel rather than ceramic. A domed charcoal dial, black hands and dark luminescent hour markers complete the nearly monochromatic appearance, while a sapphire crystal and 200 metres of water resistance preserve the practical foundations of a Black Bay dive watch.
Inside is Tudor’s automatic Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U, certified by both COSC and METAS and equipped with a 70-hour power reserve. Master Chronometer testing covers the accuracy of the fully assembled watch, its water resistance and its ability to function after exposure to magnetic fields of 15,000 gauss. Priced at US$7,725 on the ceramic bracelet, the 2026 model is the most technically ambitious interpretation of the Black Bay Ceramic so far, combining Tudor’s familiar diving design with advanced materials and a thoroughly modern presence.

Tudor’s centenary collection feels like a careful reflection on the brand’s first 100 years rather than an excuse to produce a series of obvious anniversary editions. The Monarch carries most of that responsibility, introducing a new shape and a dressier personality while combining archival details with modern Master Chronometer performance. In our view, its slightly unusual dial and sharply faceted design are part of the appeal, even if they may make it the most divisive release in the collection.
The remaining releases focus on improving familiar watches with slimmer cases, stronger certification, refreshed colours, and more bracelet choices. Of those, the Black Bay 58 stands out to us as the most complete update because its changes directly improve comfort, performance and everyday versatility, while the blue Black Bay 54 and fully ceramic Black Bay bring more personality to the range. It may not be Tudor’s most dramatic collection, but it feels coherent, practical and well suited to the beginning of the brand’s second century.
