For vintage watch enthusiasts, blue TUDOR divers’ watches are inextricably linked to the French navy. In the mid-1970s, this institution, which had trusted TUDOR to deliver robust, technical watches for nearly 20 years, opted for blue. It is to these models, and this period, that Black Bay Fifty- Eight “Navy Blue” alludes. In addition to the matt navy blue colour of its dial and bezel, this model also adopts the pro- portions of this generation of watches. With its 39-millimetre diameter, it is ideal for narrow wrists, for those who prefer a smaller watch and, of course, for vintage enthusiasts. BLACK BAY P01 THE PROTOTYPE SPIRIT The 1960s, watchmaking generally, and TUDOR in particular, experienced heightened innovation, of which the “Commando project” is the greatest example.
