The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight has been tremendously successful since it was first introduced at Baselworld in 2018, and now, looking to build on that success, Tudor is adding the hotly-anticipated Black Bay 58 Navy Blue to its lineup.
The BB58 Blue is available today priced from £2,520 / $3,375. Slim-wristed, blue watch-fans rejoice!
The Black Bay Fifty-Eight range is named after the year in which Tudor released its first diver's watch. It quickly won praise for its classically-sized proportions, vintage styling cues, and outstanding value for money.
You see, what made the BB58 so special is that in a world where other brands were releasing larger and larger models, Tudor released a 39mm cased watch, which was 2mm smaller than its already popular Black Bay range.
It's also worth noting it launched with a COSC-certified in-house movement, meaning it represented excellent value for money when priced at £2,520 / $3,375.
It reminded people of what Rolex used to represent, and was the perfect recipe for success.
Now, two years later, we've got a new Navy Blue colourway, featuring a blue dial and bezel with white gold applied indices.
The cream-coloured lume and gilt features of the original have been replaced by bright white lume, a silver minute track and silver text.
Of course, Tudor's signature snowflake hands also make an appearance.
It's a stunning, modern refresh, that completely changes the way the Black Bay 58 looks.
Just like the original, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Blue launches with the Calibre MT5402, Tudor's COSC-certified in-house movement. It measures 26 mm diameter and has been designed especially for medium-sized watches.
Despite its diminutive size, you'll still get a 70-hour power reserve, meaning you can take it off on a Friday evening and put it back on again on Monday morning without needing to wind it.
The Black Bay Navy Blue will be available on a blue Jacquard fabric with a silver band, blue “soft touch” leather, and “riveted” steel bracelet.
