Retro dive watch enthusiasts, I heard that Tudor’s new Black Bay 68 model is eye-catching! This watch not only retains the classic retro design, but is also specially tailored for users with large wrists, with a diameter of 43 mm. Want to know why this watch has caused such a craze? Then read on, it will definitely open your eyes!
A favorite among vintage dive watch enthusiasts
Tudor has always won the favor of many watch fans with its retro design style, especially its Black Bay series of diving watches. Not long ago, Tudor released the brand new Biwan 68 model. It can be said that retro diving watch enthusiasts have another favorite.
Biwan Type 54 and Type 68 are both small-sized designs, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the current retro trend. Especially the 37 mm diameter of the Type 54 is really extremely mini, which is in line with the industry rule that the smaller the watch, the more valuable it is.
Although many people are skeptical, it is obvious that this rule has been confirmed among vintage diving watch enthusiasts, and everyone likes this small and exquisite watch very much.
Tudor Black Bay Series
In fact, the Black Bay 68 is not the first new product in the Tudor Black Bay series. As early as 2018, Tudor had released the Type 58 diving watch belonging to this series. This watch carries the history of Tudor releasing the world’s first waterproof diving watch in 1958, and its appearance also continues the design of the classic diving watch.
The model 58 has a watch diameter of 39 mm and a waterproof depth of 200 meters. It can be said to be a watch with excellent performance and appearance.
The later released models 54 and 68 were further optimized on this basis. The model 54 directly reduced the watch diameter to 37 mm, which is very suitable for female users or male users with smaller wrists.
The Tudor brand has a keen grasp of market demand
The Model 68 is the latest model released in the Black Bay series so far. It is equipped with the MT5601U movement produced by Tudor. Naturally, there is no need to worry about performance. It is also designed for users with large wrists for the first time. The 43 mm diameter is very suitable for this group of people’s wearing habits.
At present, we have not seen other strap versions of Type 68 launched. It is likely that Tudor is still observing market feedback.
Different from the Type 68 for users with large wrists, both Type 58 and Type 54 are available in a variety of materials, including 18K gold, 925 silver and bronze. The Type 58 also has a GMT function model to pay tribute to Rolex’s GMT-Master.
At this point, the Tudor brand’s keen grasp of market demand has once again been confirmed. Diving watches are good, but not everyone has such needs. Some watch fans prefer watches that can have multiple functions at the same time, and Tudor has obviously achieved this.
Biwan (original version) meets the needs of most players
As the standard version of the Biwan series, the Biwan (original version) is undoubtedly the most classic one. It not only has a 41mm stainless steel case, but also provides a variety of material options for the strap, which is very user-friendly.
The 2023 Biwan (original version) has changed the luminous area of the second hand from a rhombus to a circle, and has obtained the Swiss Master Chronometer Certification. This is a huge surprise for many players who love watch performance.
Through the release of three new products, 58, 54, and 68, we can clearly see the adjustments that the Tudor brand has made in market demand. Whether it is a user with a large wrist or a user with a small wrist, whether they like classic retro or pursue fashion trends, Tudor can satisfy them with its own watches.
Conclusion
In short, Tudor’s Black Bay series is really the perfect combination of retro and practical. Whether it is the compact Type 54 or the majestic Type 68, it can meet the needs of different watch fans.
