The Tudor Black Bay 54 is a new dive watch from Tudor that is inspired by the brand’s first dive watch, the Oyster Prince Submariner Reference 7922, which was released in 1954. The Black Bay 54 has a 37mm case, which is smaller than the typical 41mm case of the Black Bay Heritage. It is also thinner and lighter than the Black Bay Heritage, making it a more comfortable watch to wear on a daily basis.
The Black Bay 54 is powered by the Caliber MT5400, which is a self-winding mechanical movement with a power reserve of 70 hours. The movement is COSC-certified, which means that it has been tested by the Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute and found to be accurate to within -4/+6 seconds per day.
The Black Bay 54 has a black dial with a domed sapphire crystal. The dial is decorated with applied indices and a date window at 3 o’clock (Ed: The Tudor 54 is a no-date watch). The hands are luminous and the watch has a 200-meter water resistance.
The Black Bay 54 is available on a stainless steel bracelet or a rubber strap. The bracelet is fitted with a Tudor T-fit clasp, which is a secure and comfortable clasp that is easy to adjust.
The Black Bay 54 is a great all-around dive watch. It is stylish, comfortable, and accurate. It is also a great value for the price.
