Quite nice but if I was looking for another 58 I would go for the 925 :D

I do like bronze, but that is a lot of bronze.

For me, the brown paired with the bronze makes for too much “warmth”. I think it would be better with a “cool” color like blue.

Like Kiter said, Tudor’s best recent release is that BB58 925 IMO.

Oooh I love it. Classy bling without being brassy bling bling. And you know it’s only going to get better and better with time. Sometimes I wish I had a shirt and a boardroom to go with my watches...

Love it as a full bronze bracelet job and now has a clever clasp at long last. My favourite 58

Well in the list of racing certainties that was a nailed on reaction! :)

It ticked many of your “favourite” boxes:
Dive watch.Tudor. Snowflake hands. Bronze. :lol:

Ok let’s try:

Another new Omega….

AT small seconds anyone?

In an Olympic year I guess gold, silver and now bronze was to be expected.

Far to much bling for me but the new bracelet clasp looks a piece of engineering beauty (about 5 secs into this video)



I’ve no experience of the Rolex glidelock but would be interested in how it compares?

If they ever offer this for their SS bracelets I’d be very interested; particularly if it was available as an aftermarket accessory. Which is a very long shot :(

While I like bronze, I see the Tudor BB as a dressy-diver, which is more suited to steel (or silver I guess, but see my next comment). The bronze bracelet looks good, but if it isn’t treated then the patina will overcome the dressings within a few months (ditto possible for the 925).

Ha! Could generate a need for a whole new box of different watches. :thumbup:

I quite like the look of this new BB58. I have always thought the colourway of the BB bronze was appealing with a brown bezel but the case was always just too large @ 43mm.

The bronze does give a much cheaper, and slightly less blingy, alternative to a solid gold watch. I do prefer the unpatinated bronze look though so I think I'd be getting my lemon juice and baking soda out quite a lot if I bought one of these. It looks decent on the nato strap though and good to see this is being included for "free" as Tudor used to do with the BB (and Ranger) in the past.

From the video clip, the operation does look essentially identical to the glidelock on my sub.

Bronze is not to my taste so I prefer it on the strap.

About time watches of this price point come with some form of micro adjust. If that mechanism comes to the full Black Bay range it will be a great move.
