Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT: owner's review

Tudor delivers what we wanted and more as the new GMT caliber fitted snuggly into the Back Bay 58 case is now Metas Certified!
The price is still reasonable at HKD 31,100 (USD 4360) and there is little competition at this quality level.

I’m sure you can get an aftermarket bezel insert.

Yupp. The bezel insert is pretty hideous, IMHO.

I thought I wanted a Longines GMT, but now I'm thinking it is this Tudor!

[@69fastfurious]

Man try this Tudor or other one first before buying Longines I bet you’ll be amazed! Don’t have this version have the Pepsi the burgundy heritage 41 mm cases , 39 Tudor Pro with steel and hybrid bracelet plus a Pelagos love them all ahh forget the panda chronograph as well all are great watches now Tudor trow this new model “Coke” when my AD have it available I’ll try it but until now must say this gilt version with this rubber strap looks quite cool my opinion they should sell it like the Pelagos 😉 bracelet + rubber band but get ready for spent a few bucks for a steel bracelet I would! It puts the watch on another step further ! Like my Pelagos on titanium bracelet vs the rubber band or the Pro with the hybrid that’s the one I wear the most expensive yes but very well done There’s some aftermarket bracelets out there but never buy or saw on on the “flesh” All that said nice watch’s compared to Longines more “vintage” aviator design than Tudor’s my opinion

[@TradeMarcmultimedia]

looks really nice,.. shinier than expected but live that burgundy/gilt bezel, so nice

[@lavykhurana]

I think in the outdoors and in sun its gonna look cool

[@khronokraze]

It's finally a step in the right direction and what it should have been in the beginning. Just waiting for more color options.. they will come. Additionally, this will surely update the BB Pro to be slimmer and maybe also with more color options.

[@MBrown-ct5zn]

A polar Pro would be a nice colorway

[@LaFritePerreGoat]

It is great realise. I waited for a 58 with a date since the first one came out. Might be in my future one day. Let's see if realese other colours soon.

[@mattc3929]

Nice review. Thanks Uptick

[@UnfinishedSymphony]

Nice video, thanks. A really great watch, I like it very much and I look forward to see it live. I would have appreciated the "jubilee" strap as an additional choice, but the rubber strap is gorgeous. I have that on my BB54, feels and looks great. And the T-fit mechanism is far more useful than I thought. BTW I would say under 16.5 cm wrist go for a BB54, not the 58.

[@richardsontwain6283]

I have my Tudor Pepsi GMT on the rubber strap as well. I got the straps from Tudor and the end links from Uncle Seiko. Love it.

Mon ami, you indeed are the style icon for all things watches-- I followed your lead on the BB58 a few years back, and now that I'm also living in Asia, I really need that GMT function on my wrist for my conference calls to Europe and the US. By the way, how do you like you BB54? I'll look for a video on that as well!

[@jameshoward9700]

Looks good - their best watch for a while. I think the gilt is central to the 58's identity, so it makes sense (and looks good) here. (Many) More colours will come. Surely the Jubilee off the BB39 would fit? Or the no rivet Oyster. Wear it well.

[@johnbell1859]

Great review, thanks. 🇬🇧

[@ericl755]

Tudor is now backup of expected/requested rolex. But in a vintage style just in case were rolex would release same piece in modern version.

[@danielanderson8503]

THIS.

[@tony8154]

Another great thing about this watch is that the bezel is actually a 60 click, which makes it a useful timing bezel, unlike the 24 click on the Rolex. A truly all in one watch. Even though I have the Pepsi, this one is awfully tempting. Congrats on your purchase!

[@hansakselos4636]

I do belive it is 48 clicks, but maybe @uptickwatchreviews can confirm. Why would you have 60 clicks on a 24 hour bezel? It's not like you can read of, like 25 minutes or whatever, on the bezel?

[@tony8154]

@@hansakselos4636 i know that the original black bay gmt is 48, but I’ve seen youtubers stating it was 60. Yes uptick pleas confirm 🙏🏼

[@Televisiontechnology]

@@hansakselos4636 I've read elsewhere is 60 clicks also. Useful for timing 60 clicks - as can just put the 12 marker at the appropriate point ahead of the minute hand when timing something - using the dial minute markers.

[@hansakselos4636]

@@TelevisiontechnologyAh, I see. You would like to e.g. turn the bezel 15 cliks ahead from where the minute hand is right now so that you can "count down" the time for your parking runs out and things like that. Sure, that could work, but the bezel is desingned rather for a third time zone function.

[@tony8154]

Well now you can do both 😎

[@yaaxarr8977]

Have to say that Tudor is now the new Modern KING ! I will wait to have a BB58 GMT opaline dial with no golden gilts :)

[@doml8959]

Is this the same rubber strap they use for the BB54. Are they interchangeable?

[@defenestratedone]

Glad they've finally done it, but I'm going to wait for a more non-gilt colors and hopefully they bring the 5 link bracelet to this as well. As it is, feels a little two similar to the S&G GMT I already have.

[@dainluke]

It looks great. It's definitely a clear vintage-themed watch though.

[@vinnydearaujo]

[@iTheShirt]

Is it actual gold? I know silly question but I'm new to watch collecting and this is the first Tudor watch that I'm currently drawn to.

[@johnnyguitar6697]

It's a great watch, no question, but the colors combination is not for me. Gilt overdose. Would love this in the same monochromatic palette as the Black Bay they released this year. Also, they really, really need to propose a 5 link jubilee style on this model. It would fit its style so well.

[@Vess_Iossifov]

Thanks for the review. How many clicks are on the bezel?

[@UptickWatchReviews]

60 clicks, thanks for watching!

[@chrisdenzler4202]

Are you sure it’s 60 clicks and not 48?

[@jeremylamb1060]

It’s 48

[@yannlepantrec]

Tried to like the guild with the first BB58 and ended up selling it and just keeping the blue one. More liking the monochrome from this year's releases

[@key4duty]

Wonder if it's possible to buy this watch on the bracelet and get the rubber strap included, would be nice to be able to swap once in a while. This watch looks amazing on both, unlike some watches Omega makes. Like the seamaster 300m, the rubber strap version looks so much better than the bracelet because the bracelet doesn't taper down, while the rubber strap does.

[@cedarcanoe]

While the bronze items on the dial and bezel may be a bit too much (did I hear someone say Omega NTTD? 🤣), I do like the end result. Congrats with the new watch!

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Um, no. The bronze is what makes it look stunning. If you want an absolutely boring watch with zero character then buy a Rolex.

[@SinnMaster]

Can we get another video from you of this piece? You're the only one who has this already, don't even see these on Chrono24 yet. Would be nice to see you turn the bezel and count, seems to be confusion on whether it is 48 or 60 click. I slowed this video down and tried to count them myself, kind of looks like 48 to me.

It's 48 and yes, I'll make a second impressions videos after a few days 👍

Glad you’re happy - but you protested too much about the bracelet. Sounds like a bigger customer got the bracelet version. I actually got the BB Pro on the strap and just ordered the bracelet. Otherwise I would have been waiting a long time.

[@tradingloss]

Yo this is so not Hedgefund BSD status (jk). But congrats, now you need them to release the Jubilee. Me being a GMT poweruser I got the craziest vibes with the bezel all the time, I track 4 timezones, UTC, HK, NY and Japan, how that's possible? You memorize nearby timezones.

[@bbrebozo6417]

The 58 size is better than the larger 41mm to be sure. The Tudor cases are a bit chunky, like the Rolex supercase.

[@jasonriccoboni5931]

To be fair, they were married back in 2022 with the release of the Black Bay Pro…maybe most would call that more of an engagement since the pro does not have a rotating bezel and because of the thickness. So, I wonder what happens to the Pro now? Seems a bit redundant to have the BB GMT, BB Pro GMT and now the BB 58 GMT. Each one offers something a bit different, but still…

Belle revue et congrats, mon ami !

Rolex par contre a une secret sauce, et quand tu vois c'est toujours un peu les mêmes designs. Mais ils ne savent pas comment créer cette secret sauce

[@leeharding8306]

The size is nice but the bezel and the gilt is a bit too much for me especially with the modern rubber strap 🤔 obviously they will be doing a new 58 next year and that’s going to be the one I’m waiting for. Hopefully they will do a monochromatic version. They might as well scrap the BB Pro and the BB GMT because no one is going to buy one of those thick lumps of steel when you can get this especially when they release a few different colours.

[@Goldendoodle.178]

That’s the thing the BB GMT Pro 41 mm isn’t even thick compared to many other watches. I appreciate the heft of mine and wrist presence of mine as well.

I'm sorry if this comment upsets people but where is the line before Tudor watches are labeled as homage?

[@UptickWatchReviews]

I think people would be amused since Tudor was created to be an affordable Rolex, sharing parts but with a genetic movement. Now they're in a sweet spot with manufacture calibers. When they stray from making a direct Rolex-related product they rarely succeed.

[@danielk09]

@@UptickWatchReviews I just don't understand how it's not a homage even with the parent company's blessing. Wouldn't Tudor owners want the company to alter it just enough to make the design uniquely theirs? A lot of brands use Rolex designs for inspiration. This is a genuine question; I'm into dress watches and I don't know.

[@WestCoastAce27]

You’re entitled to your uninformed opinion. There are only so many things one can do with a dive watch. By your logic a Rolex Sub is an homage to a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, the 1st dive watch.
