The Adventure Watch
It’s not uncommon to come across a watch collection that doesn’t feature an adventure watch. Naturally, either the diver, beater or even the field watch all share similar traits that may result in it seeming like you wouldn’t need to add one to the wrist rotation.

However, adventure watches have an irresistible simplicity to them. They are real pieces of kit that are equally as important and dependable as a good pair of quality hiking boots, or a lightweight down jacket. In fact, many of the qualities of those pieces of kit just mentioned share similar traits to an adventure watch, making them a solid addition to a collection…

The Tudor Black Bay 58 – what it does

The Black Bay 58 takes its inspiration from the Tudor 7924 Big Crown Diver released in, yes you guessed it 1958. Tudor’s history of diving watches since then is well documented, so they are more than qualified to be releasing another one.

This 2018 release was easily one of the biggest releases of the year with a lot of the watch world pleasantly surprised. The Black Bay range has been an immensely popular watch ever since it was released in 2012, however one feature mentioned on almost all reviews that concerned people the most was the watches dimensions (specifically the thickness).

Fortunately, in March 2018, Tudor responded to this with the introducing of a smaller and more importantly, slimmer model of their ever popular diver.

“The Black Bay Fifty-Eight is named after the year in which the first TUDOR divers’ watch waterproof to 200 metres, the reference 7924, dubbed the “Big Crown” and was introduced. Among other aesthetic allusions to this famous historic watch, this model has a 39 mm diameter case, in keeping with the characteristic proportions of the 1950s”

Coming in at 39mm wide, with a thickness of 11mm and a lug to lug of 47mm it’s fair to say the proportions of this new case for the Black Bay have vast appeal. When looking down on the case head on you’ll notice the lugs are fully brushed, however, a slight turn of the wrist will reveal it’s fully polished sides and edges.

This is something we see continued down to the bracelet. This brushed oyster style bracelet with faux rivets and polished sides is nothing new for the Black Bay range, however, a new lug width of 20mm is and it’s very welcomed from us.

The full-size Black Bay comes with an anodised 60 click aluminium bezel with red tip and once again we see this on the 58. However, now we see the gilt colouring extending from the dial to the bezel, further bringing attention to the watches clear attempt to build on their rich history.
