Review Of The Tudor Black Bay 58 Gold With Bracelet

April 09, 2024

Three years after introducing a Black Bay 58 in gold, Tudor has gone all the way, adding an 18-carat gold bracelet. It's the same green bezel and dial as the existing gold, but now Tudor's given it the all-gold treatment that many have been asking for. And yep, it's got Tudor's micro-adjusting T-fit clasp, and it looks like it shed the faux rivets.? The case and bracelet are fully matte and satin-finished, with the Black Bay 58's familiar 39mm diameter. Like the silver and gold 58 introduced in 2021, it has a nude caseback. Inside is Tudor's manufacture caliber MT5400, its COSC-certified movement with a 70-hour power reserve.?The new Tudor Black Bay 58 in 18K yellow gold has an MSRP of $32,100.? What We Think When James reviewed the 18K Black Bay 58 a few years ago, he said it had "less charisma" than he'd hoped, specifically saying that, without a matched bracelet, it didn't speak to him. He wasn't alone in this sentiment C?while it was cool that Tudor (Tudor?!) was making a dive watch in gold (and silver), it felt a little incomplete.Well, not anymore. The 18K, satin-finished bracelet finishes what Tudor started three years ago, and I can't wait to put this big chunk of yellow gold on my wrist C?if I can pull it off Malaika's wrist, that is. A full hands-on coming from her soon, I guarantee it!?
