2023 Tudor Black Bay 54 Black 37mm 79000N on Bracelet

Here we have a 2023 Tudor Black Bay 54 Black 79000N on a Bracelet with a more contemporary 37mm satin-brushed and polished stainless steel case; the curvaceous case and overall design aesthetic take cues from their very first dive watches released in 1954. Satin brushed surfaces transition with a polished bevel edge down their flanks towards a lug-to-lug length of 46mm and a case thickness of 11mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence, in keeping with the original. On the right side, we have a signed screw-down crown with deep knurling for extra grip and an engraved Tudor Rose. The unidirectional stainless steel bezel has a polished coin edge and black aluminium 60-minute scale in silver baton and numerals; at 12 o’clock, the customary inverted triangle with lume pip, holding a domed sapphire crystal above a domed glossy black dial. A gilt-coloured printed minute track is precisely executed with an applied gilt-edged disc, and baton indexes infilled with Super-LumiNova marking the hours. Gilt-coloured Snowflake hands filled with the same luminance and complemented by a lollipop counterbalance sweeping second hand. At 12 o’clock, we have the gilt-coloured Tudor Geneve motif with “200m/ 600ft Chronometer Officially Certified” at 6 o’clock, completing this vintage-inspired, versatile tool watch. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with coin edging, inside an automatic Tudor Cal. MT5400, 27 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour, this chronometer-certified movement has hand-winding and hacking seconds for your convenience. The watch comes paired with its 20mm Tudor Riveted, three-link brushed stainless steel bracelet fitted with its Tudor “T-fit” safety catch quick micro-adjustment system folding clasp, and it also comes with its Tudor presentation box and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Tudor box, swing tag and paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original 20mm Tudor Riveted three-link brushed stainless steel bracelet fitted with its Tudor “T-fit” safety catch quick adjustment system and a signed folding clasp, all links included. The watch is from April 2023 and is sold in worn condition, as you can see from the photographs. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

After spending a good amount of time with the Black Bay 54, it really does feel like Tudor has landed on something close to the ideal execution, at least in my opinion. The Black Bay 58 is still a brilliant watch and will always have its place, but the 54 feels that bit more considered in its proportions and detailing. The subtle design tweaks, the updated clasp, and especially the 37mm case size all come together in a way that feels more cohesive on the wrist. As someone who gravitates towards smaller watches, this one sits exactly where it should. Add this great watch to your collection today!

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 true 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 guaranteed 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 its 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 resemblance to 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.
