Introducing: Tudor Adds An Opaline Dial To The Black Bay GMT (HODINKEE)

We've got a 'polar' sport watch from Tudor – and it looks ice cold.

The matte dial finish looks like it's even got a bit of a vintage vibe. Remember when Ben had that Albino Rolex GMT-Master in the Hodinkee office The markers have contrasting surrounds that look like a dark grey, that matches the seconds hand. It gives the dial a silvery hint. Loading... At Watches & Wonders, Tudor has introduced a new opaline dial to its Black Bay GMT.

Tudor Unveils The Black Bay 54 Inspired By The First Tudor Dive ... (aBlogtoWatch)

Originally launched in 2012, the Tudor Black Bay collection is the brand's lineup of vintage-inspired dive watches that pay tribute to the iconic models ...

The addition of the new Tudor Black Bay 54 is slightly unexpected given that it measures just 2mm smaller than the Black Bay Fifty-Eight, although there will inevitably be quite a few collectors out there who will be interested in this new model, either because it offers a smaller case or simply because it recalls the appearance and size of the original vintage Tudor Submariner ref. While the case size of the new Tudor Black Bay 54 is true to the vintage ref. The black dial fitted to the Tudor Black Bay 54 is very much in-line with what can be found on the rest of the collection, featuring a slightly domed surface with applied hour markers and gold printing to emulate the appearance of the gilt dials that were fitted to the original models. At the time of launch, the Tudor Black Bay 54 is available with the option of either a stainless steel bracelet or a black rubber strap. Surrounding the crystal is a unidirectional rotating timing bezel fitted with a black aluminum insert, although unlike the rest of the models from the Black Bay series, the insert fitted to the Tudor Black Bay 54 lacks hash marks for the individual minutes, just like the vintage ref. Similar to other Black Bay models, the new Tudor Black Bay 54 features a round case with beveled lugs that lacks any type of crown guards for the winding crown at the 3 o’clock location.

Tudor's Newest Dive Watch Is Packed with Historic Easter Eggs (gearpatrol.com)

The new dive watch introduced at Watches & Wonders 2023 is based on the very first diver from Rolex's sister brand.

Finally, the Black Bay 54 features 200m of water resistance, which is the same as the Black Bay 58 and twice that of the original ref. The movement is functionally the same as the Black Bay 58's MT5402 movement, it's just slightly smaller in size. Under the hood, the Black Bay 54 is powered by Tudor's Manufacture Calibre MT5400. [Black Bay 58](https://www.tudorwatch.com/en/watches/black-bay-58/m79030n-0001), the Black Bay 54's name comes from the year of the watch that inspired it — not the case size. The 54 is also available on a black rubber strap, similar to a Rolex Oysterflex bracelet, that's also fitted with the T-fit clasp.

The Tudor Black Bay family is growing and we're here for it (T3)

New models include a burgundy bezel, new GMT with off-white dial, new Black Bay 54 and in-house movements.

[Black Bay 58](https://www.t3.com/reviews/tudor-black-bay-fifty-eight-navy-blue-review) (opens in new tab), albeit smaller, the new 54 has a simpler bezel with no intermediate hash marks between the 12 and 3 o’clock positions, as well as a new design on the edge of the bezel, and a new design of crown. For now, the 54 comes only in black with a stainless steel or rubber strap, both with T-Fit for on-the-go adjustability. Tudor says the dial is galvanised to give a silvery tint. This watch is otherwise the same as the black dial version, meaning the same 41mm stainless steel case and calibre MT5652 movement with 26 jewels and 70 hours of power reserve. Such certification is something we expect to see from Tudor’s entire lineup in the not-so-distant future. Those choices are stainless steel with three- or five-link designs, or black rubber.

Available in four case sizes (41, 38,, 34, and 28mm), the Tudor Royal is aimed at both men and women, with colorways that span the masculine-to-feminine spectrum.

Also seen in other no-date Tudor divers like the Pelagos 39 and the Black Bay 925, the MT5400 is produced under Tudor by Kenissi in a new Le Locle-based manufacture that is also where Tudor's watches, including the new Black Bay 54, are assembled. It's not the only option on the market, but I'd wager that after today – if you're in the market for a smaller dive watch – it's almost certainly on your list (or should be). The HODINKEE shop carries a variety of pre-owned [Tudor watches](https://shop.hodinkee.com/search?q=Tudor). With the Black Bay 54, Tudor has managed a cool trick. At 11.24mm thick, it's already a slim watch, but even compared to my Pelagos 39 (which is only 11.8mm thick), the two wear very differently and the 54 both looks and feels much thinner. Both work well and as much as I'm often a fan of 3rd party rubber straps, the T-Fit clasp and the fitted end links are both welcome refinements over more conventional aftermarket options. I think it's great that Tudor is including this on more of their bracelets – and even better that it's now available on the available rubber strap. Well, now I've had the chance to wear one for the better part of half an hour and I think Tudor made a great call in giving a smaller Black Bay the green light. The rest comes down to thickness and, and the manner in which the 54's various layers stack up on your wrist. Regardless, I really like T-Fit and it makes a lot of sense for a rubber strap that uses a fold-over clasp. The combination of minor detail tweaks (like the new crown and more sterile bezel, along with the very thin case profile) make for a lovely-wearing watch. With the Tudor, you get an actually small, vintage-like dive watch that still offers good water resistance, a luminous pip at 12 on the bezel, and a smooth 60-click bezel.

Tudor Reveals Its Latest Timepieces for Watches & Wonders: Comprising new Black Bay and Tudor Royal references.

Sporting a handy, multiple time-zone complication, the Black Bay GMT is equipped with all the usual design feats of the range, with added GMT function of course. Dubbed by the Maison as its “epitome of versatile and affordable sport-chic,” the Tudor Royal range welcomes two new dial colors — chocolate brown and a light salmon hue. Housed inside the Black Bay 54 is the MT5400 Manufacture movement that powers the watch for up to 70 hours. As for movement, the 31mm version runs on the MT5201, the 36mm on the MT5400, and the 39mm size with the MT5602, while the 41mm is powered by the MT5601 calibre. This currently only arrives with in the burgundy bezel with a contrasting, and slightly domed black dial, all housed in the “original” 42mm stainless steel case.

For 2023, Tudor has expanded the range with a new compact version of the popular dive watch that is closer to the proportions of the brand's earliest watches.

Aptly named the Tudor Black Bay 54, it is very close to the first Tudor Submariner from 1954, which makes it a very appealing proposition for Tudor collectors. Downsized to 37mm in diameter, the Black Bay 54 has been launched in a single colorway. Tudor’s Black Bay collection which debuted in 2012 has become a runaway success for the Swiss brand.

Hands-On: All It Took Was A New Dial To Make The Black Bay GMT ... (HODINKEE)

After years of standing in the shadows of its big brother, the Rolex GMT-Master, Tudor steps out into the spotlight.

The HODINKEE shop carries a variety of pre-owned [Tudor watches](https://shop.hodinkee.com/search?q=Tudor). Maybe it's the fact the watch is self-referential. It's nothing surprising in the context of the Black Bay GMT. It's a flat white dial with most of the contrast coming from the text, but it's somewhat of a unique take on white dial design language. There's no question now that at least one core white-dialed GMT release (not counting the meteorite dial in the Rolex lineup) out of one of Hans Wilsdorf's former companies is real. Tudor might have just fanned the flames of the debate once again but maybe questions of historical accuracy don't actually matter at the end of the day. As Tony mentioned in his introduction, this new "opaline" dial is a callback to the mythical (and questionably authentic) It was aesthetically so similar to what I wanted, and from its little-brother brand to boot, but I couldn't quite do it. I am totally on board with making watches more affordable for people who, like me, can barely stomach the price of a Rolex, and I think Tudor has been doing enough to stand on their own merits for quite some time, but the Black Bay GMT always left me teetering between being on board and feeling left out. I tried it on and in that moment felt like I was wearing the most valuable watch in the world. I remember walking into the RRL store in SoHo and seeing that watch in a case. Loading...
