2021 Tudor Black Bay 58 Bronze 'Boutique' Edition 79012M

Here we have a 2021 Tudor Black Bay 58 Bronze "Boutique" 79012M, which is an exclusive Tudor Boutique edition, featuring a 39mm brushed bronze case that curves over your wrist for a comfortable fit. The case has a lug-to-lug length of 47.5mm and a thickness of 11.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. Brushed surfaces and polished edges are expertly executed around the case. On the right side is a signed screw-down crown, and a bronze unidirectional bezel has a distinctive anodised aluminium brown-and-bronze 60-minute scale insert. The domed vintage-style boxed sapphire crystal sits above a rich chocolate-brown dial, and an outer minute track features gilt-edged discs and numerals at 3, 6, and 9. The characteristic Snowflake hands are gilt-edged and coated in lume, complemented by a sweeping second hand. The gold accents really work with the bronze case. The text is precisely applied to the dial; at 12 o’clock, we have the Tudor motif, and at 6 o’clock, “200m 660ft Chronometer Officially Certified”. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down Bronze case back, inside the in-house automatic Tudor MT5400, 27 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, COSC certified.

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 the technical, aesthetic and functional characteristics, along with the distribution and after-sales service. In 1948, we saw the first Tudor-specific advertising. 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 benefited 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 their reputation of robustness in 1961, the Rose was replaced by the shield. 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 greater amount of lume to be applied; this was appreciated by the divers of the French Navy. 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. Celebrating their 50th anniversary in 1996. In 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.
