Tudor’s Black Bay line has become a modern classic, capturing the essence of vintage dive watches with a contemporary twist. Building upon this success, Tudor splashes into Watches & Wonders 2024 with a wave of bold new additions to their iconic Black Bay collection.
Black Bay Monochrome
The Black Bay Monochrome boasts a comfortable 41mm x 13.6mm polished and satin finished stainless steel case with its signature knurled crown. The dial’s matte black base has luminous silver applied hour markers and snowflake hands for perfect low-light visibility. Keeping things simple, the dial shows a white minute track without unnecessary distractions. The Black Bay in Monochrome packs a punch with its Tudor MT5602-U movement that is COSC and METAS certified for top accuracy. Choose from classic 3-link, modern 5-link, or sporty rubber straps. Available this month, starting at $4,225 USD.
Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18k
Ditching its tool-watch look, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18k goes full luxury with a 39mm x 12.7mm 18k yellow gold case and in a bronze-like satin finish. The gold-toned hour markers and luminous snowflake hands complement the green dial for a striking yet clean look. It prioritizes clarity, showing only a GMT hand. The COSC-certified Tudor MT5400 movement with 70-hour power reserve is on display through the sapphire caseback. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18k ups the luxury ante with the solid 18k gold bracelet, while the T-Fit clasp completes the luxurious look. This opulent timepiece comes with a price tag of $32,100 USD.
Black Bay 58 GMT
The Black Bay 58 GMT shrinks the bulk to a comfy 39mm x 12.8mm, keeping the classic finishes and iconic crown. It stays true to Black Bay DNA with a black dial, snowflake hands, and luminous markers. A vintage touch arrives with the red and black “Coke” bezel. Its METAS-certified MT5450 movement keeps you on time across time zones (-2/+4 seconds a day) and boasts a 65-hour reserve. Choose the classic riveted bracelet or comfy rubber strap with T-Fit clasp. This hot new watch hits stores soon at $4,400 USD for rubber and $4,300 USD for the bracelet.
