Tudor Black Bay 58 Watches
How to Choose Your Tudor Black Bay 58?
Three criteria guide your choice: case size, model and bracelet.
On case size, 39 mm is the heart of the Black Bay range, more compact than the 41 mm, more present than the 37 mm of the BB54. It suits the widest variety of wrist sizes, for men and women alike. The BB58 also features the oversized crown without crown guards from the 1958 Big Crown Submariner, a detail that gives the watch its distinctive round silhouette, immediately setting it apart from the 41 mm.
On model, the BB58 comes in two versions. The classic version (from €4,430) offers several dials (black, navy blue, silver) with the riveted steel bracelet or rubber strap. The navy blue dial is the most requested colour in the collection. The GMT version (from €4,820) adds a second time zone function via a black-and-bordeaux two-tone bezel, ideal for travellers or anyone who wants a readable complication without cluttering the dial.
On bracelet, the riveted integrated steel bracelet is the classic, iconic choice for the BB58. The rubber strap makes the watch noticeably lighter and more comfortable for sport, sea, or summer wear.
Which Profile Suits the Tudor Black Bay 58?
- Vintage diving reference / versatile daily wear → BB58 steel black or navy blue dial, riveted steel bracelet — from €4,430, the most popular choice in-store
- Navy blue enthusiast → the BB58's midnight navy dial is one of the most recognisable in Tudor's range — instantly distinctive, highly sought after
- Traveller / GMT user → BB58 GMT, second time zone on a black-and-bordeaux bezel — from €4,820, readable at a glance; see also Tudor GMT watches
- Active / summer wear → BB58 rubber strap — lighter, more flexible, ideal for intensive days on land or sea
- Intermediate format / medium wrist → between BB54 (37 mm) and BB41 (41 mm), the BB58's 39 mm is often the size that wins naturally after trying all three
Auberi's take: The BB58 is the Black Bay that customers most often settle on after trying all three sizes. The 39 mm works everywhere, at the office, on the wrist of a man or a woman with a larger wrist, at sea. The navy blue is consistently the most requested dial for in-store try-ons: the colour is very difficult to capture in photos, and seeing it on the wrist converts almost every time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why "58" in the name Black Bay 58?
The 58 refers to 1958, the year Tudor launched the Big Crown Submariner, its first large-crown diving model, without crown guards. The BB58 is its direct reinterpretation: 39 mm, large round crown, vintage proportions. It is the Black Bay that comes closest to the original "Big Crown" aesthetic.
What is the difference between the BB58 (39 mm) and the BB41?
The BB58 measures 39 mm, the BB41 measures 41 mm, two millimetres that make a visible difference on the wrist. The BB58 also has a large crown without crown guards (a vintage hallmark), while the BB41 has a more conventional crown. Both share the same METAS-certified manufacture calibre (−2/+4 sec/day, silicon hairspring, 70 h power reserve) and the same 200 m water resistance.

What exactly is the Black Bay 58 GMT?
The BB58 GMT is a variant of the BB58 fitted with an extra GMT hand and a 24-hour black-and-bordeaux two-tone bezel for reading a second time zone. It retains the same 39 mm case as the classic BB58. Available from €4,820 with rubber strap or €5,050–5,160 with steel bracelet. The GMT complication is straightforward to use and immediately legible on the wrist.
Is the Tudor Black Bay 58 suitable for women?
Yes, 39 mm is a unisex format, regularly worn by women with medium to large wrists. It is the Black Bay most often tried by female customers who want a sport-chic format without going up to the 41 mm. For more compact options, Tudor women's watches in 30–34 mm remain the brand's feminine reference.
