Tudor introduced the Black Bay 54, the most understated version of its popular vintage-influenced Black Bay divers’ watch, in 2023, following up the original 41mm Black Bay and the crowd-pleasing 39mm Black Bay 58. The Black Bay 54, which duplicates the 37mm sizing of the series’ direct inspiration — the fondly remembered Tudor Oyster Prince from (you guessed it) 1954 — debuts this year in a sure-to-satisfy “Tudor Blue” iteration.
The watch uses the brand’s signature, nautical-evocative blue color (also called “sapphire blue”) for both the dial and the dive-scale bezel insert, which in this version eschews the use of hash marks for a cleaner look. The vibrant blue dial features the familiar “Snowflake” handset and geometrical hour markers. The hands are coated with Grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova for optimal brightness underwater or in the dark. The dial is subtly domed and features contrasting light blue details.
Beating inside is Tudor’s Caliber MT5400, with a COSC chronometer certification, a silicon balance spring, and a 70-hour power reserve. The Black Bay 54 “Tudor Blue” is available on a Tudor’s riveted, three-link steel bracelet (priced at $4,725), or on a black rubber strap ($4,475), both fitted with the brand’s proprietary “T-Fit” clasp for easy sizing. This is a developing story. Please check for updates.
