Rolex
founder Hans Wilsdorf launched the Tudor Watch Company in 1946 in an
effort to offer the public reliable timepieces at affordable prices.
Since 2015, Tudor has been manufacturing in-house movements to much
acclaim.
With
its handsome navy blue dial and with matching unidirectional blue
rotating bezel this Tudor Black Bay celebrates the sea in a sporty, yet
highly sophisticated manner.
The
bezel sports an incremental dive scale and has a luminous dot for easy
reference under water. Speaking of which, luminous silver-toned hands
and dot / index hour markers are prominent against the blue dial, as is
the minute track in white.
The
stainless steel case sits comfortably upon the wrist at 39 mm in
diameter and a slim 11.9 mm in height. The navy blue fabric strap with
singular centered line has a steel prong buckle with steel keepers.
Additional case features include a screw-down winding crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
As
an officially certified chronometer, the Tudor MT5402 movement delivers
accuracy that you can depend upon. Best of all, at 70 hours, it gives
you nearly three days of power.
From
its workhorse construction to its sporty stylings this Tudor Black Bay
58 will make an essential addition to your collection.
Standout feature(s): Officially certified chronometer accuracy; 70-hour power reserve; clean legible dial.
