For the Watches and Wonders 2024, Tudor welcomes a Black Bay 58 GMT in 39mm Case to its Black Bay lineup. The timepiece picks its design cues from the golden age of air travel, being inspired by the classic 1958 born Tudor ref. 7924 “Big Crown”. Though the latest reference in the line is an old school version, it comes with reworked proportions and slimmer case.
The 39mm case measures 12.8mm thick with a 47.8mm lug-to-lug height (200 m of water resistance) with a screw down crown. While there is only one colour way at the time of release, there are options for a bracelet or strap. The three-link “rivet-style” bracelet is inspired by the bracelets of the 1950s and 1960s and has a gentle taper from the clasp up to the end-link. There is also a black rubber strap option which is cut-to-size. Both the bracelet and strap come with Tudor’s T-fit clasp which allows up to 8mm of adjustment without the use of any tools.
Vintage touches throughout the watch can be seen in the burgundy and black bidirectional bezel with its gilt finish on the 24-hour scale, as well as through the hour markers and “snowflake” style hands. Inside is the COSC-certified GMT Manufacture Calibre MT5450-U which boasts a silicon hairspring and 65-hour power reserve.
It's not a risky bet to assume that the Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT is going to be a huge hit, as so many people have been waiting for a GMT in this size with the same tough dive specs that befit anything named a Black Bay. Pricing for this watch is marked at Rs. 3,77,000 (approx.) on the rubber strap and Rs. 3,96,000 (approx.) on the steel bracelet.
