HANDS ON the brand new Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 'Navy Blue' 79030B

Today Tudor released the brand new, blue Black Bay 58 79030B. I am showing you a first, actual hands-on review and how the new blue-bezel and blue-dial Black Bay 58 actually looks and feels and why it is not only a watch so many anticipated but also one, that describes a turning point in Tudor's (and Rolex') marketing strategy.

Thank yo for watching!

MKBHD would be like: "So I've been using the new BB58 Blue for a couple of months now..."

I’ve been wearing mine for over 2 years now and could not be more impressed. In spite of heavy use it has held up exceptionally well…speaking to it’s robust build quality. It keeps bang-on time (+/- 1 sec) and can take anything I throw at it. It’s nice to have a piece you can throw on and know you can just forget about it and live your life. Excellent watch that will never leave my collection

Quick update: I'm very lucky to now own two new Tudor BB58s on the bracelet. Like-for-like think of the Blue BB58, purchased in early Nov 21, as a more modern take on its original black and gilt sibling. But after watching some of your helpful videos, plus many others, I finally succumbed and I have just purchased a new BB58 Black version in late Dec 21 from my AD at retail - there is no shortage of them in the UK these days.
I do, and still love the blue, it's magnificent, but I have also grown to adore the warmer, more vintage appeal that the black version exudes, not to mention the ever-so-slightly darker shade of steel Tudor has cleverly used to add further differentiation. Maybe owning two identically-made watches with the exact same specs is crazy, but they are executed quite differently. Hey it's Christmas after all !

I think they've got that subdued blue just perfectly. Its a great addition to their range. I still prefer the black and rose-gold of the original, but this new colour will certainly enhance the populatory of the range. Tudor are really hitting heavy at the moment.

I think the original is more interesting but this is also a nice variant.

[DavidDatura]

It’s very nice, a natural progression on from its predecessor. But I still prefer the vintage tones of the original.

That was quick! Very quick! I actually think you're the 1st youtuber to get their hands on that model. Impressive. Nice review too 👍

Love that you're showing watches on your wrist. As someone with a similar wrist size, it really helps.

My wife has become a Tudor fan. I think she would look great with this Tudor. Great review. The wrist shot sold me that my wife can pull off the Tudor “Blue”Bay. 👍🏼

I like the blue in Pelagos.
You should definitely do side by side with Pelagos blue.
Keep smiling Jenni 😁

I really like this new version. Sure, blue is a safe color and is kinda overplayed, but it's done well here, has some historical precedent, and the watch feels modern and original thanks to the absence of fauxtina.

[jabezh]

Wow, props for being what seems like the world first review.

[andrewroberts]

picked one up this morning and love it. it integrates well with my collection, which features predominantly black watches. if this was my only watch I would have had the original black 58.

[greggomes]

Just got mine today, and I am positively in love! In person it's so stinking spectacular

UPDATE : Walked into my local AD and bought it. It's beautiful!. Subtle and sporty and you can definitely dress it up slightly.

I am liking this a lot more than I expected to. I had an ETA Black Bay blue, but in this case, the blue bezel and blue dial reminds me of the old snowflake blue Tudor Submariner, and it’s really quite pretty. Beautiful shade of blue and they kept it no-date, thank goodness. I still don’t like the rivet bracelet, but it’s still the one to get—then grab the NATO as an extra because that looks great too.

[Nexus.Achiles]

Good looking Tudor. This could be my very first Tudor I'm fact. I was more into Rolex, Omega, Breitling and some micro brands, but why not, it seems to be ticking my boxes.

[MartinBrownFFD]

Just tried this one on and it’s just much better in real life. I wanted to buy but the AD in Frankfurt would not even take an order. I have the BB58 Black and love it and I would have this one in a heartbeat. Not a vintage vibe, just a very crisp, modern anytime watch.

[Skibbityboo]

I was just about to go to bed, but now I am trying to figure out how to buy this watch.

Jenni, your enthusiasm is contagious!
