Black Bay 54

TUDOR presents a new addition to the Black Bay line that embodies the purest modern expression of the brand’s first-ever dive watch. In 1954 TUDOR’s first dive watch, the reference 7922 was released, and today the Black Bay 54 is the most true-to-form inspiration of this model with a 37mm case and a Manufacture Calibre









The BB 54 at 37mm represents the closest model to a vintage in terms of proportions. It is essentially a James Bond small crown, and looking at the crown design it definitely lends itself to the historical design from its big brother Rolex. Another nod to the history is the Lollipop seconds hand. Also note the pencil shaped minute hand. Finally the bracelet has a T fit rapid adjustment clasp.

The only Black Bay that would fit my wrist

and currently ranked third in my rankings of the latest new releases today!  smile    The De Bethune DB* chronograph remains the clear winner followed by the Chopard LUC in 36.5mm with a salmon dial.   Consolation price for the Rolex Perpetual 1908  which to me beats Patek at its own game.

Boring but great. Thankfully there's some love for normal wrists.

And I still wonder which was the first Tudor Diving watch in 1954...

PS: Rolex diving watch from 1954, I see, but from Tudor in 1954.... I still wonder which is the reference they are speaking about.

Reference 7922 launched in 1954

I have a doubt on the 7922 Big Crown. But when it comes to the 7922 small crown, I seriously think they weren't made in 1954.

On that black rubber strap it looks very nice. 37 mm diving watch sounds also very interesting to me.

What a beaut. Understated and moving back to more vintage sizing and styling.
