Unveiled in 2012 at Baselworld, the Tudor Black Bay has quickly become one of Tudor’s best-selling collections as it takes direct inspiration from the iconic Tudor Submariner ref. 7922. Seeking to build on the aesthetics of the early Submariner models, the Black Bay family is beloved by Tudor’s collectors for its vintage-inspired design traits like its faux-rivet bracelet, gilt inscriptions, anodized aluminum bezel insert, and large crown. Further refined in 2018, Tudor launched the Black Bay Fifty-Eight as they dove even deeper into their archives and drew inspiration from their 1958 Submariner “Big Crown” Ref. 7924. With its red arrow-featuring dive bezel, thinner profile and 2mm smaller case diameter of 39mm, the BB58, as it is called, was a more refined version of its older sibling, with the very same depth rating of 200m – a true dive watch. Receiving intensely positive reception straight away, the BB58 has quickly become Tudor’s most popular watch. However, the Black Bay’s evolution has certainly not ceased, with Tudor’s 2023 novelties including a brand new member of the Black Bay family, the Black Bay 54. Featuring a new case shape that is slightly more tonneau in profile and a smaller 37mm diameter, the Black Bay 54 features the original Black Bay 58’s aesthetic with its black dial, black aluminum bezel and gilt inscriptions but with a more svelte twist. Inspired by Tudor’s first dive watch, the ref. 7922, this stunning piece of modern horology showcases Tudor’s spirited attempts to maintain their domination of their price range and offer timepieces that are truly universal in their appeal.

Watch is in like new condition, showing little to no signs of wear. Bracelet was sized for the previous owner and the removed links are included on the side.

An effortlessly timeless design made modern, the Black Bay 54 launched to widespread praise at Watches and Wonders 2023, and its no wonder why with its elegant aesthetic and easy-to-wear proportions.
