Tudor's Black Bay 54 Is One for the Fans
Tudor has announced a new watch in its signature Black Bay line. And it’s one custom-built for the purists. The new Black Bay 54 is a 37mm model that makes direct reference to the brand’s first ever dive watch, released in 1954.
It keeps the historical proportions of that model’s 37mm case and 60-minute unidirectional bezel, but updates them with the 21st century touches that have made the relaunched brand one the fastest-rising and most loved in watches. Those modern aesthetics include Tudor’s trademark "snowflake" hands, a "lollipop" seconds hand, and a slightly more curved crown. The bezel has a new slimmed down edge, too, making it easier to grip.
The new model comes in just one color—black—and does not feature a date, two more decisions likely to please fans.
As we’ve come to expect from Tudor, it's terrific value for money. The new Black Bay 54 costs $TK on a three-link "rivet-style" bracelet and just $TK on a rubber strap. Both come with Tudor’s ‘T-fit’ rapid adjustment clasp. For people who love the aesthetic of dive watches but struggle with their size, a smaller alternative to the existing 39mm Black Bay 58 is going to be very welcome news.
Watch this one fly.
