This year, TUDOR presents two new bold versions of the Black Bay 58. The first is made in 18k yellow gold with an open case back, a production caliber, and a solid gold bracelet; the other is a brand new Black Bay 58 GMT certified Master Chronometer. TUDOR presents the latest iteration of the Black Bay in black and white. Representing the latest in Black Bay, this model features advanced design elements, a “T-fit” buckle and a Master Chronometer certified by METAS. On the Clair de Rose, available exclusively in stainless steel with mechanical movements, TUDOR adds a new dial: its signature blue dial.

BLACK BAY 58 GMT

TUDOR is introducing an additional model to the Black Bay line, the Black Bay 58 GMT. This entirely new model is evocative of an era when the novelty of jet-setting across time zones was matched by glamorous and elegant style. It is fitted with TUDOR’s new mid-size GMT Manufacture Calibre paired with warm hues of burgundy, black, and gilt on the bezel. The universally appealing case of the Black Bay 58 has become the model’s calling card, and now it comes in GMT form. The Black Bay 58 is named after the year in which the first TUDOR divers’ watch waterproof to 200 metres, the reference 7924, dubbed the “Big Crown”, was introduced. Among other aesthetic allusions to this famous historical watch, this model has a 39mm diameter case, in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. The watch is the perfect match for a GMT function, and with the Black Bay 58 GMT, the jet-setter’s ultimate function comes with a touch of mid-century elegance. The bezel is burgundy and black with a gilt 24-hour scale, keeping with the general design language of the Black Bay line. The design is reminiscent of when TUDOR divers’ watches were first being made, and jet planes were moving through time zones and delivering interlopers to destinations they could only dream of faster than ever before. Finishing gilt touches have been applied to the bicolour bezel’s hour markers, hands, and hour markers. Another fan-favourite touch that remains on the Black Bay 58 GMT is the winding crown, which bears the TUDOR rose logo in relief…
