The Watch

Here we have a 2023 Tudor Black Bay 58 Black on Strap 79030N that pays tribute to their first divers; introduced in 1958, the Ref 7924 had a 39mm case and a big crown that achieved 200m water resistance, which was some achievement back then. A 39mm stainless steel case with polished and satin finishes, the curve of the case tapers towards the lugs with a lug-to-lug length of 47.5mm and a case thickness of 12mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a screw-down signed crown, unidirectional dive bezel with 60-minute numerals on a matte black aluminium insert; at 12 o’clock, we have the characteristic red inverted triangle and lume pip. Domed sapphire crystal AR coated protects a matte black dial, a gold-toned minute track is precisely executed with applied gold-toned disc and baton hour markers coated in Super LumiNova, and gold-toned Snowflake hands are coated in SuperLumiNova, complemented by a gold-toned Snowflake counterbalance sweeping second hand. The warm tones of the dial, indexes and hands add a vintage aesthetic to this distinctive dive watch. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back; inside, we have their in-house automatic Tudor MT5402 Certified Chronometer, 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour and a bidirectional rotor system that provides a very impressive power reserve. The watch comes with its 20mm Tudor leather strap, signed deployant clasp, and a 20mm black Vanguard Rubber strap and pin buckle, and the watch comes with its Tudor presentation box, swing tag, and paperwork.


Personal Note

The heritage design of the Tudor Black Bay 58 lends itself to looking incredible on leather straps like the one it is paired on here, the gilt tones throughout the dial contrast perfectly against the brown leather strap. Then throw it on the Vanguard rubber strap included it takes the heritage design and suddenly makes it appear modern, such a dynamic watch. Don't hesitate to add this to your collection today saving yourself a huge amount off retail!


The Brand

The Tudor trademark was first registered in 1926 by the Swiss watchmaking company “Veuve de Philippe Hüther” on behalf of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex watches. Wilsdorf took it over himself in 1936. Just after the Second World War, Hans Wilsdorf, Founder of Rolex, knew that the time had come to expand and give the Tudor brand a proper identity of its own. The Tudor Rose started to appear on their dials from this time. Thus, on 6 March 1946, he created the “Montres TUDOR S.A.” company, specialising in models for both men and women. Rolex guarantees technical, aesthetic, and functional characteristics, as well as distribution and after-sales service. In 1948, we saw the first Tudor-specific advertisement. A few years later, they introduced the TUDOR Oyster Prince in 1952. Hans Wilsdorf allowed Tudor to use their waterproof Oyster case and the original self-winding Perpetual ’rotor’ movement. This was an exclusive arrangement that benefitted both brands. Development soon commenced with the introduction of the TUDOR Oyster Prince Submariner, reference 7922, in 1954. This watch was quickly adopted by the French Navy in 1956. Building on its reputation of robustness in 1961, the shield replaced the Rose. Later, in 1969, we saw the design changes in Ref. 7016 where, for the first time, square indexes and angular hands nicknamed “Snowflake” allowed for a more significant amount of lume to be applied, and the divers of the French Navy appreciated this. Today, these innovations can be seen in the Black Bay and Pelagos collections. In 1971, Tudor introduced the Oysterdate chronographs, nicknamed “Monte-Carlo” due to their resembling a roulette wheel, and celebrated their 50th anniversary in 1996. That same year, Tudor decided to shed Rolex-signed components such as the cases, crowns, and bracelets in favour of Tudor-branded ones. Today Tudor uses their in-house movements developed initially in 2015 in collaboration with Breitling.
