Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue (Specs & Price)
Tudor is no stranger to dive watches with iconic pieces going back decades. Validated by both the French Navy (Marine Nationale) and US Navy (among other world militaries), Tudor Submariners have a well-earned reputation. Other than a minor inscription, military Tudors are almost always the same as civilian counterparts, which is a testament to quality and robustness. Following the wildly popular 41mm Black Bay series from 2012, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight debuted in 2018 with a smaller case and new movement. Originally clad in black and gold, the latest BB58 Navy Blue has a fresher, monochromatic vibe with a blue dial and bezel. ?Family picture… From left to right, the 1st generation BB 41mm (ETA movement), the BB58 Navy Blue and the Black/Gold BB58Blue is BlackAlthough the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Navy Blue is simply a new colour variant, it really changes the personality.

Revisited over the years, the transformation that most influenced the contemporary look of the Constellation took place in 1982, the year the watch got its claws. Following the update to the 29mm Constellation Manhattan ladies’ model?in 2019, the gent’s 39mm and 41mm were also upgraded in 2020 and equipped with Master Chronometer calibre 8800. The time-and-date watch we are looking at today is the handsome 41mm steel version with a black dial and integrated strap. Although we have often referred to it as a luxury sports watch – given its shaped case, raised bezel and integrated bracelet – having handled the sleek black dial and bezel version, I am tempted to rela
