While we built our business — and our passion — around vintage watches, it’s doubtful there’s a contemporary collection that better encapsulates the vintage spirit better than Tudor’s Black Bay. And more specifically, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight. 

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight takes all that we love about vintage dive watches — and more specifically, vintage Tudor and Rolex dive watches — and boils it down to an absurdly handsome, highly wearable modern timepiece. Originally launched in a black dial with a steel case, Tudor has since expanded the offerings to include offbeat metals such as bronze, solid gold, and even sterling silver!

The particular Black Bay Fifty-Eight we have here, a Reference 79012M, dates to circa the 2020s. Housed in a 39mm bronze case with a sapphire crystal, a bronze, unidirectional dive bezel with a brown insert, and a screw-down, signed bronze crown, it features a luminous, brown vignette dial, applied Arabic and dot indices, a matching ‘snowflake’ handset, and an outer minute track. Powered by the automatic, chronometer-certified Tudor MT5400 movement, it comes paired to a bronze ‘rivet’-style Oyster bracelet with a signed Fliplock clasp featuring a micro-adjust system. At once vintage-inspired while simultaneously highly modern and robust, it even comes with its factory goodies.

If you love the idea of a vintage Tudor or Rolex but don’t want to baby a vintage piece, then take it from us — the Black Bay Fifty-Eight is the watch to buy. And if you’re bronze-curious but weren’t quite ready to take the plunge, well…

This is your opportunity!
