The Tudor Black Bay 58 is one of the most popular luxury dive watches on the market, balancing a reasonable set of dimensions with an impressive in-house caliber at a price that undercuts the majority of the competition by a decent margin. Given the now broad collection of five different Black Bay 58 models, I wanted to get all the watches in one place to create a guide to the collection as a whole. So in this video, I'll share the history of the 58, the general design elements that make the watch what it is, and go through each model to talk a bit about who might be the right kind of buyer for each of the variations. If you guys like this type of content, be sure to let me know what other watch collections might need an ultimate guide of their own in the comments.

Legend has it that the Black Bay brand sometimes releases a Tudor.
As a pelagos owner I’m both appreciative and offended by this comment.
@@fatfriendcustoms7612 North Flag here - still, at least it doesn't look like I'll enviously have to look at a new model.
🤣👍💚
@@MT-kx2uc For real. What do Rolex AD employees do all day, because they sure as hell aren’t selling watches they don’t have.
Lol.
To me the red triangle really makes it. Such a little detail but just perfection in design.
That's why I got the BB 58. I was also offered a Blue but the lack of the red triangle 🔻 didn't do it for me. If the blue had the 🔻, I would have got it in a heart beat.
The red triangle is what puts me off it. Going for the blue one myself because of that reason
@@CueBald imo the red and gilt combination works well together
That’s the one I’d go with too. Maybe the blue
Agree 100%... this is my alternative to the Submariner that looks modern and clinical. When feeling daily wearing... the Sub Ceramic No date is the way to go... when feeling retro mood, is the OG BB58 with that red triangle and gilt dial markers, the blue is nice but I prefer my rolex for those wearing ocasions
I love how you show the watch on two different wrist sizes, makes it easier to buy watches!
I hate his amazing attention to detail and rich historical background dives...it makes it easier for me to buy watches! lol
My friend has the Bronze and it's stunning in person. For me, the blue is the most modern and most appealing, but that OG with the warm tones and subtle nod to history probably is the best of all of them
There is one bronze with black face and stainless steel and gold bracelet.
The first and original in steel with the matte black gilt dial, is still my favorite by far!
this version could become tudors rolex´s datejust steel...
Agree 👍
I've had my BB58 black for just over a year. Absolutely love it.
Love my original BB58. Threw it on the black rubber strap from RubberB and it has become the daily driver in my collection. Super comfortable to wear and looks awesome with the high-quality RubberB strap.
I do prefer the BB58 'vintage' style. It's simply beautiful, has history in the watch industry, automatic, accurate, reliable, durable and no one throws the question: 'is it real or fake?'
this watch is just ON POINT, and I´m sure it could become one of THE future classic watches in the whole watch market...
Yeah that’s why I ditched my Seamaster - far too many good fakes on the market now
The table of contents format at the start of the video is golden. As someone whos been deep in watch vlogs on youtube since the pandemic started, this felt just as convenient as the bookmarks. Also, what a timely video post that the AD just called me for a BB58 black in steel just arrived after months of wait. Cheers!
As an owner of the first iteration (black dial), I must say you nail it very well. Good to see you enjoy it too 🙂 It's a great watch.
This watch is so close to perfect IMO. I’m in my mid 30’s and it’s one of the only watches I could see myself wearing for the rest of my life.
I find myself reaching to wear mine quite a bit. Such a great watch.
Cool
Yep completely agree. I'm 35 and own a BB58 blue and it's an amazing watch. The build quality is superb. I have a 6.5'' wrist and although the BB58 is smaller than the BB at 39mm, it's still large and weighty on the wrist.
I have the blue bb58 on the bracelet and the watch is really really nice, I wouldn't change anything on this watch. I also have a longines spirit and that is also a superb watch, imo the 2 best watches for the money.
@@coffeeboyclips1973 great choice on the Longines Spirit, that's a stunner. The lugs are quite long on it though and will look odd on my wrist but I really love the look of it.
Usually when i like a watch, i go into a process that include seeing videos, reading about it and see the reviews. Didn’t hesitate to buy the black bay 58 black. It was my fastest purchase process.
I can't blame you. It looks amazing!
How do you feel about the colour compared to the blue? I'm not sure which way to go..
@@solefreak2 i have an omega seamaster blue , and i wanted a watch that looked more vintage than a normal shiny rolex .. thats why this 58 was the perfect match . 🌹
I got one of these a few months back - what can I say, except probably the most beautiful watch I've seen/had. It is such a lovely timepiece. Teddy talks about 'one watch watch collections' and to me this would be that. Classy, vintage looking, functional and elegant with a bit of macho thrown in. Tudor nailed it!
Got my BB58 Blue a month ago and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the purchase. Bookended a good career milestone with a great piece
Same here. Got a BB58 navy 2 months ago after my promotion. Love it.
Where did you guys purchase yours? Everywhere I look is sold out
@@Jayn911 I have a new one if you like….blue
Any BB58 is a good one. So pleased Tudor have brought out so many variants, take you pick as every one is a winner!
I’ve been considering pulling the trigger on a Black 79030N for a few months and your vid helped me to finally go for it. Another great video with plenty of history and info, thanks Teddy.
Thanks for the very informative in-depth review. I purchased my BB58 today and after only a few hours on my wrist I am very satisfied with my purchase. The size, weight, and thinness were the primary determining factors in my choice. Your review answered any questions I had on this watch.
I picked up my BB58 yesterday, and I love it. It might be the best contemporary dive watch. Great video.
Great detailed review, got caught up in the Tudor craze and ordered a 925. Waited 4 mths but well worth it. Luv the watch and the brand, even picked up a 1926 series for the wife. Very satisfied Tudor customer.
Just bought the blue dial/bezel 58 and am totally Loving it!
We can all agree, you can’t go wrong with a Tudor!
You can go less wrong with a rolex
@@nkmsvwde5612 ROLEX?!? like buying it with super high resale price, then ur friend pull up with a retail price one🤣🤣🤣
@@kl3taiwan good luck reselling a newer Tudor without loosing $$$$
@@hondacbx1975 You're joking, right?
The new Tudor Chronos are selling thousands over list last I checked... And for a while, even most of the newer BBs were selling over list. They just started selling under pretty recently.
Obviously depending on the Watch, you're much better off putting your money into a Rolex... But guess what? A lot of people can't afford a Rolex that's actually worth putting your money into, and if they do... Well, I'm sure most watching this video know how hard it is to get the majority of what Rolex produces from an AD at Retail. And then, MANY MANY enthusiasts/collectors buy what they like with absolutely no expectation to ever sell/trade any of the pieces they acquire. Personally, I do as much research as I can on a watch I have my eye on/go check it out in person and see how it looks/fits on my wrist before I even have the money set aside to purchase it comfortably.
But then again, tons of people are so stuck on resale resale resale they really start to lose any genuine enthusiasm for watches/watchmaking etc they may have once had
@@PepRex Rolex servicing is not that expensive.
Such a great summary of the BB58 collection as it stands. Really enjoyed watching this since I am big fan of the model. More of these please 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just picked my black and gilt on bracelet up after a year on the wait list. Perfect fit on my 7.5" wrist and super comfortable. Downsizing the collection as this will be my daily from hereon in.
I bought the BB Black (41mm.) 2 and a half years ago and the BB GMT almost one year ago a I'm really happy with both watches, in every single way. The BB 58 is a handsome watch but a little small for my wrist (almost 18 inch).
Great video and many thanks for sharing.
This brand has really grown on me...... really nice video, thanks Teddy!!
Your last 2 videos were exactly the 2 topics on my mind. Crazy coincidence...thanks for the awesome content and Info as always
Good rundown Teddy. I just added the original/black dial Black Bay 58 to the collection a couple of days ago. It's a beautiful watch with perfect dimensions for my wrist.
Awesome video bro! Personally own the blue 58 and the gmt and I love both 😍😍🔥🔥 Tudor is one of my favorite brands and love what they're doing!
I own the original 58 and it's still my favourite. I love it so much I've even considered buying the blue as well for the more modern look.
Still want to buy a new blue one
The BB58 OG is like how the Rolex sub used to be. Superb watch, great value proposition, in-house movement, lovely proportions & you can actually buy one! Nit-picking but losing the fake rivets and adding micro adjustment to the clasp would make the watch perfect. As it is though not far off! :-) Love mine! Great channel btw, Teddy.
I own this watch for over a year now and I am still in love with it. Can't go wrong with a BB58.
Thank you, Thank you for the Tudor history and background. I’m looking for that one watch for my everyday wear. This BB58, timeless look is moving to the top of my list!
I must say my favourite Black Bay is the classic in 39mm. I'm planning on buying one but I might hold out and hope the quick adjust clasp is released for next years model.
Perfect! Just received a BB58 blue for a gift today!☺️
Awesome gift !!
@@mislem Couldn’t agree more!!
The beauty of this watch is within its dimensions and proportions for me. I tried on the Heritage BB and the 58 is just sized excellently. Has presence on the wrist without dominating.
I was the same ,just fitted me perfectly!loved it
Excellent and comprehensive review of the entire BB58 line, Teddy. I am a big fan of these watches and am planning on getting an OG (black dial/gilt) BB58 as my first luxury watch. I like all the versions, but the OG is my favorite - it reminds me of a James Bond Sub from the days of Sean Connery.
A great idea Teddy getting the BB58 series of watches available for an overview of each. Personally my (biased) favorite is the black and guilt dial as I have one. I was lucky enough to see the gold version and I confess I was tempted but the price was just too high. I may find myself in the future having a second look. at some point.
Great video! 👏 I just got my BB58 guilt dial 2 weeks ago and I love it!
I picked up the blue 58. I've wanted it since it was released. I can now say I own it, and I bought it from an AD in Paris with my son on his first trip with me to Paris to celebrate a very good trading week on vacation that more than paid for the watch. He learned about watches, we toured Paris, and I explained to him why bought it to celebrate a milestone and a special occasion and also let him know that the watch will one day be his most likely when he turns 18. Very happy overall with the purchase and my first AD purchase of a watch that was not resale or pre-owned.
that clasp on the bronze looks like a significant improvement. looking forward to checking that out in person
Got the blue58… now I want the more versatile OG bb58!! Yes the tiny hit of red around the pip makes it shine!
AHAA!!
This is what I've been looking for and you're a hero, Teddy! 😀
Love these full collection videos and would love to see more.
Just got this watch last week absolutely amazing
Very nice video Teddy! Will definitely use it to choose my BB58
I own the BB58 and love everything about it. The comfort on my 6-5/8” wrist is only surpassed by its soothing beauty. The only drawback(or benefit) is that it’s hindered my desire to buy any other watch.
Absolutely love the Black Bay 58. The classic black will be my next watch.
Mine finally arrived at Tudor Vancouver. Will be shipped tomorrow. Cannot wait!
I have the original 58 and I think it’s still the best looking one. You can wear it with anything.
I love the BB58 I am saving up for one now, can't wait!
About to pull the trigger on one of these myself… excellent video as always Teddy! 👌🏻
Such an amazing collection !!!
I got the call in April from my AD after waiting a year to they had a black Bay Blue 58 on bracelet. Best watch I own.
The first 58 is my favorite and the one I own, I love it! I'd really like to see a 58 Harrods 😍😍😍
Great job as always Teddy!
The Blue 58 is KING
Absolutely love this timepiece 🖤
Finally got mine just a week ago. Love it :)
Always thinking of getting the BB Chrono but also the Classic 58 is awesome! Like the smaller size a lot! But, the bronze also really shines in here, can't decide anymore after you video :D
Fantastic video Teddy, very informative 🙏🏻
I just got a black bay gmt for my 18th birthday and I’m loving it! Also this is my first ever luxury watch.
I have the silver on order , looking forward to it immensely 👍🏻
'Tooda'. Nice. I have the black and the silver versions and love them both. Had the blue too but it quickly became superfluous. BTW I call the 925 silver version The Cappuccino.
I love all the Black Bay 58 models, including the 925. Realistically I would go for either the Black or Blue (probably leaning slightly more towards the latter).
BB58 OG became a legend right after the blue dial version came out in 2020. Prior to summer of 2020, the OG was a sleeper. Today, the BB58 OG is pinnacle of watch design and Tudor nailed it on everything except for the rivets on bracelet. The strap versions are perfect because it shows you are into the watch game and you own other heavy hitter watches. The fact they came with Silver, Bronze and Gold is very timely because of the Olympics Tokyo. Tudor knows how to capture the new watch enthusiast with these BB58 line up.
The fact the line up is without Date, Tudor made it true to heritage.
Rolex can learn countless things from Tudor.
Often forgotten in reviews if you are audiophile -> the click of the taupe version is absolute heaven. Best sounding "click" of the Lunette on the market. Designed after the sound of a heavy vault/safe dial knob.
Love my original BB58 (even though it's sooo retro). another highly informative video, thanks
I never had any desire for any Tudor but as I saw the silver released I fell in love with it. Now it is on my wrist and I love it, I use it as daily “beater”.
I have it for 2 months and it is starting to show some tarnishing, I was expecting it and looking for some tarnishing as I love tarnished sterling silver color, let’s see how it evolves…
Cheers Carlos 👍
@@juniorjohnson5961 cheers!
My god Teddy why why WHY do you do this to me? You know how much I love this watch. We talked about this, I posted a comment on your last Blackbay 58 video but nooooo that’s not enough. Let me break this down for you. There are some things in life that are pure joy, exceptional, bliss. Dark chocolate ganache, spicy scallop hand rolls, liver and unions ( no haters of liver and onions please), a perfect pear shaped flawless diamond, Casablanca Lilies and Tuscany. And alas the Blackbay 58. What color dial? I don’t know and almost done care. Today it’s the blue dial, tomorrow it’s the black dial. Stop the teasing until I can find 4K to buy one, that is.
I own BB58 over 2 years and its one of my favorites
The watch is almost perfect
If Tudor introduces glide lock to BB58 it will become Perfect!
Haven't seen the channel for a while, you're moving up. Better photography, details, confidence on camera, good shit!
Got my BB58 three weeks ago! When I saw it online for the first time, it really took my breath away. The watch speaks my character so much, and I simply can't stop wearing it over my Longines and Omegas for now. I haven't felt so happy wearing a watch on repeat in a while. 39mm with the thin case thickness makes this one very versatile. Great value for money!
Where did you get yours? Wherever I look, it's sold out
@@Jayn911 I'm from Malaysia. Over here, some ADs in Kuala Lumpur still have them!
Love Tudor. I had a 58 Black and loved it but eventually got a Sub.
Teddy your great! I'm sure content creation is very hard. Tudor has had so much play. What I'm trying to say is the internet doesn't need another Black Bay 58 review. Again your awesome and let's broaden the scope...cheers.
I must have missed the vote on what "the internet" wants.
I had bb58 blue , I love the watch no regret buying it
The black Blackbay 58 is on my to get list.
Bought the original BB 58 two years ago. Dimensions are perfect. I also have a Rolex Submariner which is my grail but the BB58 gets the most wrist time. Anxiously waiting for a BB58 with a gmt function..
It will happen and when it does, it will be the hottest watch of the year.
18K gold BB 58 ??? WHY? On two other notes, the BB 58 is a great watch; and Teddy is fast becoming the go to guy for solid, thoughtful reviews of the watches we all want to see and learn about. Two thumbs (and a wrist) up!
My first Luxury watch. I still wake up and look forward to putting it on. Love the retro vibe. The 39mm is perfect on my 7" wrist. Solidly built. Speedy is next. But man it will be hard to not put this on.
The black and gilt 58 is my 2nd luxury watch (I have owned a TAG F1 for 8 years). It was between the 58 and a speedy. This video sold me.
I literally can’t stop looking down at it. Looks so much better in person. Absolutely love it.
The BB58 is my daily driver - I can wear it for just about every occasion. I have the black with gold accents and fabric strap. Otherwise my problem is having a decent sized collection that are starting to become decorations in the house 😂
Picked up bb58 right after watching this video. Thanks, Teddy. Keep up the great work. Hands down the best horology content on RUclips.
Finally managed to locate a Black Bay Silver in the UK - fortunate to see it in a retailers. Looked at Black Bay 58 Navy against it and is beautiful piece but went for the Silver.
My, my, I do fancy one of those, that silver one is outstanding!
I might buy one soon.😎
I have the 58 original and it’s perfect - just like all of them
I'm lucky enough to own the original Black Dial, but the navy blue is next on my list for sure. Superb value for the money!
I can't stop using mine (The first gilt one), I just got the original Nato strap from Tudor but instead of the black-gilt one it should correspond I went for the blue-light blue (almost grey) from the blue bb58... It's a killer combo, it goes with everything!!! ...and I feel I have another new perfect forever watch.
My OG bb58 is never leaving my collection.
It’s as close to perfection on the wrist as it gets, plus I love the color combo. The red triangle mixed with warm colors….it’s near perfect imo.
Side note: I love the blue as well. But it’s not more versatile than the black. Also not sure if the blue has more “mass appeal” either….Sry teddy
I'm very lucky to own two brand new Tudor BB 58s. Like-for-like think of the Blue BB58 as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. But after watching some of your helpful videos, plus many others, I succumbed and I have just purchased a new BB58 Black version in late Dec 21 from my AD at retail - there is no shortage of them in the UK these days.
I do, and still love the blue, it's magnificent, but I have also grown to adore the warmer, more vintage appeal that the black version exudes, not to mention the ever-so-slightly darker shade of steel Tudor has cleverly used to add further differentiation. Maybe owning two identically-made watches with the exact same specs is crazy, but hey it's Christmas after all !
There was a growing trend for smaller watches and the obvious vintage craze. The BB58 capitalized on both in spades.
Additionally, Rolex have been somewhat unobtanium for many people in recent years. Either they pay the massive price markup or wait for an unknown amount of time. As people give up on Rolex, Tudor becomes more appealing.
Great video and very welcomed and helpful.
I really would love them to put out GMT version as I’m not sure if the 41mm Pepsi version might be a bit big for my 6.75 inch wrist.
I actually would prefer these Tudors to the Rolex comparables. Not every Tudor buyer is someone who wishes for the bling and gawdy nature of the latest Rolex designs.
The OG black bay 58 is where its at.
I like that they aren't too "blingy". Vintage model for me. Stunning watch.
eversince bb58 was released in 2018, I was always on the fence to get one. but ended up not buying it. however, after getting the opportunity to see the bronze boutique edition, it was a no brainer. i bought the watch in August 03, 2021 and been wearing it 24/7. too bad for my other watch collection, i dont wear them much at the moment as i am on a honeymoon period :).
I am being completely honest. I went into a AD a couple months ago, specifically to buy a GMT. And while trying it on, a blue 58 caught my eye. Once I put it on, it was over. I walked out with it that evening. The only issue is fine tuning the fit is difficult.
Great video Teddy! I know there's a Tudor out there for me. I'm trying to diversify, so it may end up being the heritage chrono, or maybe a Ranger? Not sure yet. The ceramic is also so beautiful.
I just got my BB 58, it's freaking beautiful!
Got the black, love it... NEED THE BRONZE.
Great video Teddy I have been saving up for the black bay 58 the black one with the red triangle can get it for around 2500 in the UK cheers mate 👍
I have the BBB/B and wish Tudor would make a bronze bracelet for that one, as they have for the 58. The patina on it is awesome, love the watch and the 58 version should be great with some age.
an interesting new type of review 👍🏼
