Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB

Unveiled in 2012 at Baselworld, the Tudor Black Bay has quickly become one of Tudor’s best-selling collections as it takes direct inspiration from the iconic Tudor Submariner ref. 7922. Seeking to build on the aesthetics of the early Submariner models, the Black Bay family is beloved by Tudor’s collectors for its vintage-inspired design traits like its faux-rivet bracelet, gilt inscriptions, anodized aluminum bezel insert, and large crown. Further refined in 2018, Tudor launched the Black Bay Fifty-Eight as they dove even deeper into their archives and drew inspiration from their 1958 Submariner “Big Crown” Ref. 7924. With its red arrow-featuring dive bezel, thinner profile and 2mm smaller case diameter of 39mm, the BB58, as it is called, was a more refined version of its older sibling, with the very same depth rating of 200m – a true dive watch. Receiving intensely positive reception straight away, the BB58 has quickly become Tudor’s most popular watch. Iterating upon that design, Tudor took it upon themselves to launch a new version of the BB58 in 2018 with a GMT ‘Pepsi’ version. Made of stainless steel and measuring 41mm in diameter, it comes equipped with a GMT function and features a blue and red aluminum ‘Pepsi’ bezel that calls back to the vintage and neo-vintage bezel inserts used by Rolex until the ceramic bezels of today were introduced.
