Wantonly unconventional and, at the same time, entirely familiar, this watch baffled me upon announcement. Once I had a 925 in hand, though, I did a complete 180. It’s fun, lighthearted, and much more luxurious than a steel Fifty-Eight. Given the general strength of the Black Bay line and the perennial need for a headline-grabbing new watch, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 does just what it should – deliver heaping silver spoonfuls of uncut novelty.
The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 is a 39mm silver-cased dive watch measuring 12.7mm thick and 47mm lug to lug. With 200 meters of water resistance, a display caseback, and a taupe dial and bezel. The 925 uses Tudor’s MT5400 automatic movement with hacking, hand-winding, and no phantom date position, COSC-certified timekeeping, and a 5-year guarantee. Production is not limited and the 925 costs $4,300 and can be had with either a fabric or leather strap. For more, visit Tudor online.
