Tudor Black Bay 58 Bronze 79012M

The case measures 39mm across, with a 20mm lug width. Case material: Aluminium bronze with bronze unidirectional bezel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, Tudor MT5400, COSC. Power reserve is 70 hours. It beats at 28,800 vph.

It is rated to 200 meters, about 656 feet. That is a diving rating: it is built for scuba use, not just for getting wet. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Tudor produced this reference from 2021 to the present day. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.
