Tudor: Black Bay Fifty-Eight

Tudor presents the Fifty-Eight, an additional model
part of its Black Bay line, named after the year in which the first Tudor divers’ watch was launched: the reference 7924, dubbed the “Big Crown”, that was water resistant to 200 meters. Among other aesthetic references to this famous historic timepiece, and to the divers’ watches produced in those years, as the «snowflake» hands, the large winding crown and the red triangle of its rotatable bezel, this model has a 39mm steel case, keeping the characteristic proportions of the 1950s.

The enclosed movement is the new self-winding manufacture Calibre MT5402 featuring an openwork rotor, antimagnetic silicon balance spring and 70 hours of power reserve.

Black Bay Fifty-Eight comes in a new color combination – a subtle variation on the aesthetics of the Black Bay line. Evocative of a time when Tudor divers’ watches were first being made, finishing touches in gold have been applied to the hour markers, hands and minute track of the black and steel bezel. The winding crown tube is in satin-brushed steel – a new feature in the Black Bay line – in keeping with the style of the case and winding crown, which bears the Tudor rose logo in relief.

The bracelet of the Black Bay Fifty-Eight is inspired by the foldingriveted bracelets of the Tudor watches produced in the 1950s and 1960s.
These were famous for having visible rivet heads that attached the links, as well as a stepped construction. These two aesthetic details are incorporated into the bracelet of the Black Bay Fifty-Eight model, integrating modern manufacturing methods using solid links (€.3.400). Two additional designs are available: a brown leather strap with a folding clasp or black fabric strap with a gold colored band (both versions €.3.100).
