Luxury accessory designer Tudor released the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight watch at this year's Baselworld show.
The watch resembles classic mid-century timepieces and is named after the year the brand's first design hit the market. The 39mm steel case offers a slim wrist design, as well as a vintage aesthetic paired with a black dial that is complemented by gold accents. A first for the Black Bay design is the new satin-brushed steel crown tube that has matching steel bracelets with rivets.
Along with the new fashionable band style, Tudor is also offering the new Black Bay Fifty-Eight watch with a black Jacquard fabric strap or a classic brown leather strap.
