TUDOR BLACK BAY FIFTY-EIGHT 'NAVY BLUE' AWARDED AT THE 2020 GRAND PRIX D'HORLOGERIE DE GEN'VE

Ever faithful to its long tradition of blue sports watches, TUDOR now offers, a “Navy Blue” version of its flagship model, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight. This model gets its name from its colour, of course, but also from the year 1958, in which the first TUDOR divers’ watch waterproof to 200 metres (660 ft), reference 7924 or “Big Crown”, was presented. Among other aesthetic nods to this historic watch, this model offers a 39 mm diameter case in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. Ideal for slim wrists, people who like more compact watches and vintage enthusiasts, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight “Navy Blue” also carries on with the long TUDOR tradition of blue sports watches.
