The Tudor Black Bay 58 Reference 79030N is nearly a perfect timepiece. Inspired by the Tudor 7924 Crown Diver which was released in 1958 (how it gets its name), the 2018 Black Bay 58 not only pays homage to a fine timepiece in Tudor horology but makes massive improvements in technology in its own right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tudor Black Bay 58<\/h3>\n

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight gets its name from the year 1958, in which the first TUDOR divers\u2019 watch waterproof to 200 meters (660 ft), reference 7924 or \u201cBig Crown\u201d, was introduced. Among other aesthetic nods to this historic watch, the model offers a case 39 mm in diameter in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s.<\/span><\/p>\n

TUDOR pays tribute to the brand’s first divers’ watches with the Black Bay Fifty-Eight, a model whose dimensions evoke that of the epoch. Fitted with a TUDOR manufacture movement, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight is designed for slim wrists and vintage enthusiasts alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Crown Diver released the first Tudor to be waterproof to 200 meters.\u00a0 However, the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight shaves of significant width – and nearly knocks off 3 full millimeters of older Black Bay models to get to 11.9mm in thickness.\u00a0 At only 39mm in width, the case provides excellent balance and yet extends its appeal to both men and women of nearly any wrist size.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reference 79030N is waterproof to an impressive 660 feet – and proudly displays this ability on the dial just above 6 o’clock.\u00a0 However, the 79030N is not just a diver’s tool.\u00a0 It has exceptional luxury and a beautifully crafted design.\u00a0 The large gold minute, hour, and seconds hands with the snowflake design have exceptional visibility both above and below water. The hour markers themselves each are a nice size and are filled with luminescence.\u00a0 The minute notations around the dial are in a luxurious gold paint – an exceptional contrast to the black dial.\u00a0 This gold\/black motif is extended to the bezel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later on, in 1969, TUDOR introduced a divers\u2019 watch with a blue dial and bezel. The other sporty watches in the collection were soon attired in blue, immediately creating a lasting aesthetic hallmark known as \u201cTUDOR Blue\u201d. Adopted by the French navy for its TUDOR divers\u2019 watches during the 1970s, this livery became part of the collective imagination. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight \u201cNavy Blue\u201d follows in this tradition with its navy blue dial and bezel insert. This is a color that also appears on the \u201csoft touch\u201d strap offered with this model and is made from a synthetic, tactile material resembling flannel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rubber B<\/a>, introduced Cuff Series SwimSkin\u00ae<\/a> which looks and feels identical to moisture-sensitive materials such as Kevlar\u00ae and Twill, but it is actually 100% rubber, therefore entirely waterproof for all aquatic activities. Offered for several watch models that feature 20mm lug space, perfectly matched with the Cuff Series, such as the Tudor Black Bay<\/a> 58 that comes from Tudor with either a leather strap or nato s<\/span>trap. The SwimSkin\u00ae<\/a> Twill: Cuff Series is offered in three different colors Navy Blue (as shown below), Pine Green, and Jet Black.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The reference 79030N also sports a new caliber MT5402.\u00a0 Certified as a chronometer by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute, this caliber is designed to ensure reliability for a long time.\u00a0 It has a variable inertia balance and an impressive 70-hour power reserve.\u00a0 Tudor owners can choose between a steel bracelet, a brown leather strap with a folding clasp, or a black fabric strap.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight comes with a choice of a riveted steel bracelet with a polished and satin finish, a leather or \u201csoft touch\u201d strap with a folding clasp, or a fabric strap. One of TUDOR\u2019s signature features, the fabric strap is made using the Jacquard technique, a traditional method achieved by a hundred-year-old family business from the St-Etienne region of France.<\/span><\/p>\n
