24 25TUDOR’S NAVAL HERITAGE BLACK BAY FIFTY-EIGHT
“NAVY BLUE”
THE “FRENCH NAVY” BLUE
With its proportions and overall shape, the Black Bay
Fifty-Eight is probably the TUDOR model closest, in terms of
aesthetics, to the brand’s first divers’ watches and the first
models adopted by the French and US Navies in the sec-
ond half of the 1950s. For vintage watch enthusiasts, blue
TUDOR divers’ watches are inextricably linked to the French
navy. In the mid-1970s, this institution, which had trusted
TUDOR to deliver robust, technical watches for nearly 20
years, opted for blue.
It is to these models, and this period, that Black Bay Fifty-
Eight “Navy Blue” alludes. In addition to the matt navy blue
colour of its dial and bezel, this model also adopts the pro-
portions of this generation of watches. With its 39-millimetre
diameter, it is ideal for narrow wrists, for those who prefer a
smaller watch and, of course, for vintage enthusiasts.
BLACK BAY P01
THE PROTOTYPE SPIRIT
The 1960s, watchmaking generally, and TUDOR in particular,
experienced heightened innovation, of which the “Commando
project” is the greatest example. In 1967 the brand, which
had been supplying the American navy with divers’ watch-
es since the second half of the 1950s, began developing a
technical model to replace the Oyster Prince Submariner
7928 reference supplied at that time. A development phase
was launched, resulting in the production of prototypes, as
well as a patent for a hitherto unseen function. “Commando”
was the code name of this ambitious project.
The TUDOR collection has a selection of models that celebrate the brand’s memorable heritage as
