A Fusion of Heritage, Honoring Historical Timepieces

TUDOR officially arrived in Japan in 2018, a much-anticipated event. The "Black Bay Fifty-Eight," a successor to the iconic 1958 diver's watch known as the "Big Crown," now embraces a traditional color, paying homage to historical timepieces with this new release.

The color known as "TUDOR Blue" originated with a TUDOR diver's watch featuring a blue dial and bezel, released in 1969. Subsequently, blue was adopted for other sports watch models, and the TUDOR diver's watches supplied to the French Navy in the 1970s also featured blue. Thus, blue is an inseparable color for TUDOR.

The newly released "Black Bay Fifty-Eight 'Navy Blue'" features a 39mm case, characteristic of the 1950s proportions, with "Navy Blue" adorning the dial and bezel insert. Faithful to the tradition of blue sports watches, it brings a fresh expression to the Black Bay Fifty-Eight.

In addition to the stainless steel bracelet, it is also available with a blue "soft touch" strap and a fabric strap.
