With the new Tudor Black Bay 41 and Black Bay 54, is the BB58 in danger of becoming obsolete?
The response to the new Tudor Black Bay 54 has been massive, with many on our Instagram dubbing it the release of the fair and, on my end, making it onto my top five favourite releases of Watches & Wonders 23.

INTRODUCING: The Tudor Black Bay 58 925 in Silver (not steel!)
When you think of Tudor watches, you typically think of stainless-steel, value-driven offerings. But Tudor surprised us all, making the leap to yellow gold as well as silver for the Tudor Black Bay 58.
