replica Tudor Watches Black Bay 58
Gold value.
The Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18K, which was just unveiled last week with its sterling silver brothers and sisters, is Tudor's first pure gold diving watch. For Tudor, this is an important milestone, it may further demonstrate its ambitions in the price range, and 58 has achieved its ambitious ambitions.
initial thoughts
At the end of 2019, I was talking with Tudor senior management and hinted that I might be developing a pure gold watch. As a fan of brands (fortunately owning some of them), this is something I look forward to very much.
Now the Tudor dynasty finally did it, and the result left a deep impression on me. Black Bay's 58K is attractive, feels good, and the price is very reasonable. The only disappointment is the lack of matching gold bracelets. I know this will increase the price by at least 50%, but even then, it's a good choice-and it's really cool. Fingers crossing the bracelet are working.

However, even without the bracelet, the new "58" feels good. Its size is (almost) identical to 58 gauge steel, so it is the ideal size for a diving watch that is easy to wear.
Naturally, the gold version is slightly heavier than the steel version, but the weight is only enough to look strong, but it is less clumsy on the soft fabric strap (more on weight reduction below).
The weight gives the 58 18k a very expensive feel. However, as is normal for Tudor watches, the quality of the watch depends on the price, and then on the price.
Almost every aspect of the watch has the clear details that Tudor expects. Both the dial and case have excellent fit and finish. The only aspect that is not very suitable is the view on the back. The movement looks a bit flat-I would have liked a solid back-but the MT5400 is a highly skilled movement and one of the best in its price range.

It is worth noting that the quality execution extends to the strap. A pair of fifty-eight 18k pieces is included, one is leather and the other is fabric, each with its own 18k gold buckle and accessories. This is convenient-there is no need to change the belt buckle when changing the belt-and retain the design, because Tudor's fabric belts usually have a wider belt buckle and a metal cage. Given that watch brands usually charge at least $1,000 for pure gold pin buckles, the buckle on each strap is amazing.
In fact, the quality of the watch is enough to make it comparable to much more expensive watches. For example, the price of the Omega Seamaster 300 made of 18k gold is 25% higher. The price of the 58-speed 18K is much higher than the average Tudor price, but it is a real value for money.
Gold leaf
This year, green is common on watch dials, which makes the color cast a little bit-except in a few cases. Green and gold work well on 58-inch 18k.

In the distance, the dial appears to be black olive, but gold spots are found on the surface at close range. Its texture is delicate and its variegated color is almost organic, reminiscent of moss.
All the prints on the dial are lacquered with gold powder, so that the marks and minute track have a grainy, faint metallic texture, which perfectly matches the style of the watch. However, this is also found on the standard steel model, so it is not unique to the 58 series 18k.
The hour hand and applicable indexes are unique-they are both made of solid 18k gold. Although pure gold hands and markers are standard on Rolex watches, they were first used in Tudor for the first time in 58 watches. In stainless steel models, there is no obvious difference between solid gold hands, markings and gold-plated equivalents, but for top watches, adding a little bit is definitely a good thing.

All surfaces of the gold case have a matte brushed surface, and its surface treatment is exactly the same as the black bay bronze. This is in contrast to the standard 58 steel case, which has a traditional polished surface and bevels along the lugs.
The matte finish works well on 58 inches 18k, especially on the moss green dial. The choice of shell surface treatment depends on the style of the house. The brand stated that Tudor only uses brushed gold in its sports watches, including the two-tone Black Bay Chrono S&G, due to people's desire for a softer, discreet appearance.
The machining quality of the case left a deep impression on me. Everything is clearly defined and carefully shaped.
For example, the wide bevel on the top edge of each lug is coated with a brush, which can flow perfectly into the texture on the top of the lug. The crown is particularly precise, with embossed Tudor roses on the top and flutes on the sides.

The precious metal shell means that the two characteristics of 58 18k are very prominent. One is the display back cover, which is the first display in Tudor's history, and the other is a new movement with an enlarged bottom plate. These two functions can also be found on the "58" 925 watch, which is a sterling silver diving watch launched with the pure gold version.
The obvious driving force behind both is to reduce weight. The density of 925 sterling silver is about 40% higher than that of steel, while the density of 18k gold is about twice that of steel. Removing the center of the lower case and hollowing out the inside of the case will undoubtedly help make the weight of No. 58 solid gold (and silver) easier to control.
Of course, because the amount of gold required in each case is reduced, the gold model can also save some costs (silver is cheaper). That is to say, given my understanding of Tudor’s philosophy-quality comes first-and the fact that the 58 series 18k has two straps (each strap comes with its own 18k gold hardware), I doubt that the cost of production will be minimized by itself. It is a goal. My educated guess is that in order to make the price of the watch as affordable as possible, people have been pursuing it.

In addition to economic factors, an open opening means that the movement is visible. [Editor's note: The movement of the silver version is shown in the figure below, but it is the same as the movement of the gold model. ]
A variant of MT5402 was found in 58 steel, and MT5400 was used in 58 steel, which was basically the same except for the larger bottom plate. It has the qualities of other Tudor internal movements, including a power reserve of up to 70 hours and a non-magnetic silicon balance spring. In short, this is a high specification movement with a low specification price.
Although the technical achievement of this movement is undeniable, it is not very interesting visually. All bridges have a clean, frosted appearance, while the rotor has a radial texture. Everything is done neatly, but the appearance is a bit unclean.
I would have liked something special on the movement to distinguish the No. 58 18k (and the silver version) from the steel watch. The most obvious is the solid gold rotor that matches the case, or the gold-plated rotor that fails.
With the development of pure gold sports
