Stephen Pulvirent – Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight

Heritage watches have been a big part of Tudor's offering for years, so another great one should come as no surprise. However, I've got to admit that the Black Bay Fifty-Eight kind of came out of nowhere for me. The watch pays tribute to the original Tudor Big Crown Submariner (from 1958, hence the name) and takes on a slimmer, smaller profile than any of the existing Black Bay divers. It's just 39mm across and a hair under 12mm thick, meaning it wears almost exactly like an old, crown-guard-free Sub from the 60s. At the very least, it's the closest thing you're going to find in a modern watch. The bevels on the lugs and the gilt finishing really make this watch for me (though I know that last bit is a little controversial), and the BB58 has both warmth and charm for days.
