History:
The Black Bay Fifty-Eight pays homage to Tudor's first dive watches from the 1950s, specifically the reference 7924 "Big Crown." It captures the vintage aesthetic with its slimmer case size and snowflake hands, but incorporates modern technology for a robust and reliable timepiece.
Specs:
-
Case: 39mm polished and satin-finished stainless steel case with a screw-down crown. This size is perfect for those with smaller wrists or those who prefer a more classic look.
-
Dial: Stunning blue domed dial with snowflake hands and large applied hour markers filled with luminous material for excellent legibility in low light conditions.
-
Movement: Swiss-made Tudor Calibre MT5402 automatic movement with a 70-hour power reserve. This movement is chronometer-certified, meaning it meets the highest standards of accuracy and precision.
-
Bracelet: Stainless steel bracelet with a rivet design, inspired by vintage Tudor bracelets. It also comes with a blue fabric strap option for a more casual look. Both straps feature a folding clasp and safety catch for a secure and comfortable fit.
-
Water Resistance: 200 meters (660 feet). This makes the Black Bay Fifty-Eight suitable for recreational diving and even some light professional use.
Additional Points:
-
Sapphire crystal: Scratch-resistant for everyday wear.
-
Unidirectional rotatable bezel with a blue aluminum insert: Great for tracking elapsed dive time.
-
Tudor's reputation for quality: Tudor watches are known for their excellent build quality and use of high-quality materials. They are also considered to be a great value proposition compared to other Swiss luxury brands.
