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. Its name is an amalgamation of its colour and the year 1958, in which the first TUDOR divers’ watch, reference 7924 (or “Big Crown”) was presented.

Among other aesthetic nods to the historic watch, this new model offers a 39 mm diameter case, keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s. Ideal for slim wrists, people who like more compact watches and vintage enthusiasts. It comes with no surprise that the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight “Navy Blue” adopts the characteristic angular hands known to collectors as “snowflake”, one of Tudor’s most iconic and recognized element associated with its diving watches.
The history of the TUDOR divers’ watch dates back to 1954 with the launch of reference 7922. Waterproof up to 100 metres (330 ft), it is the first in a long line of “divers”. Affordable, robust, reliable and precise, it is the epitome of the brand’s “tool-watch” philosophy. The seven decades following the introduction of reference 7922 have witnessed TUDOR’s constant improvement in divers’ watches – gaining remarkable acclaim from professionals in the field, including some of the largest navies around the world.
