TUDOR" is attracting more and more attention every day. The driving force is the "Black Bay. This is a collection of watches that has made discerning men awestruck with its polished manufacturing of old specs, such as domed windshields and snowflake hands.
TUDOR has now released the Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925. As can be inferred from the "925" on the butt, the open caseback is made of 925 silver. The "Fifty-Eight" between the "925" and "925" is a reference to the year 1958 when the base diver's watch, Ref. 7924, also known as "Big Crown," was launched.
Silver was once a common material, but it has the disadvantage of darkening as it ages, and is rarely used today.
Incandescent silver was developed to overcome this drawback. Silver 925 is 92.5% silver mixed with copper, palladium, nickel, and other elements, but TUDOR has succeeded in suppressing the darkening of the remaining 7.51 TP10T.
The satin-finished case is masculine, with proportions reminiscent of a "big crown. The taupe-colored dial and bezel inserts, as well as the fabric strap, make it a biplayer.
The caliber MT5400 peeking out from the case back is a Swiss chronometer-certified caliber that has easily cleared the pass mark of -4 to +6 seconds per day, and is within the range of -2 to +4 seconds. The power reserve is 70 hours. . If you take it off on Friday night and spend the weekend losing track of time, you still won't have to wind the spring on Monday morning.
