Offered for sale is a distinctive Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze ref. 79012M, dating from 2022, presented in the highly characteristic combination of a 39mm bronze case, bronze bracelet, and rich brown dial and bezel.

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze brings together Tudor’s renowned dive-watch heritage with the warmth and character of bronze, creating a timepiece that becomes increasingly individual with age. Unlike conventional stainless steel, bronze naturally develops a unique patina over time, meaning each watch gradually acquires its own distinctive appearance.

The compact 39mm case gives the Black Bay Fifty-Eight its exceptionally versatile proportions, while the brown aluminium bezel and matching brown dial create a warm, cohesive aesthetic. Paired with the original bronze bracelet, the result is a seriously distinctive sports watch with an unmistakable vintage-inspired character.

This particular example is presented in good-as-new condition and comes as a full set, making it an especially attractive example for collectors looking for one of Tudor’s more unusual and characterful modern references.

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze has also attracted attention beyond the traditional watch-collecting world, having been seen on the wrist of David Beckham, adding to the model’s appeal and recognisability.

Notes

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight collection has become one of Tudor’s most recognisable modern designs, combining the proportions of Tudor’s historic dive watches with contemporary reliability and performance.

The Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze ref. 79012M takes that formula in a particularly distinctive direction. Its bronze construction gives the watch a warmth and personality that conventional steel cannot replicate, while the natural development of patina ensures that no two examples will remain visually identical over time.

The combination of the 39mm bronze case, brown dial, brown bezel, and matching bronze bracelet creates a cohesive and unmistakable aesthetic, making this a particularly appealing alternative to the more familiar steel sports watches.

The model’s association with David Beckham, who has been photographed wearing the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze, further highlights its appeal as a contemporary Tudor with a strong presence both within and beyond the watch-collecting community.

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a 2022 full-set Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze in exceptionally well-preserved condition — a watch with genuine character that will continue to evolve and become increasingly individual with time.

Distinctive, versatile, and built to develop its own story — the Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze is Tudor at its most characterful.
