Tudor Refreshes Black Bay 54 for Summer with a Vibrant Lagoon Blue Restyling
Welcome to the Sunny Shores with Tudor's Black Bay 54 "Lagoon Blue"
Ready to make a splash this summer? Get ready for Tudor's latest addition to the Black Bay 54 family – the "Lagoon Blue" edition. Diving deep into its roots, this beauty pays homage to Tudor's very first dive watch, the Ref. 7922 Submariner, debuted in 1954 (yep, you guessed it, the same year as this year's model!).
A Leap into the Past, a Stride into the Future
In a world where bigger is often better, Tudor takes a bold step back, offering a petite yet powerful 37mm case for the Black Bay 54 "Lagoon Blue." Despite its diminutive size, the watch maintains an impressive 200m water resistance, a testament to Tudor's dedication to robust construction since the late '50s.
Exotic Eyecatcher
Say goodbye to your black watches and hello to the soft, textured Lagoon Blue hue – an ode to those sun-kissed beach days. Contrasting perfectly with the dark blue text and indices, the white snowflake handset and applied hour markers add a touch of sophistication, flaunting their metal outlines.
But that's not all. The traditional black aluminum bezel insert has made way for a sleek stainless steel insert with mirror polishing, providing an eye-catching complement to the Lagoon Blue dial. Even the 60-minute diving scale gets in on the action, graced with a matte finish and nestled into the metal for a cohesive look.
Proudly Preserving Perfection
The Lagoon Blue edition honors the original Black Bay 54 dimensions, boasting the same 200m water resistance, 37mm case diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.24mm thickness. Of course, the reliable COSC chronometer-certified Tudor-Kenissi Caliber MT5400 automatic movement remains at the helm, arming you with a 70-hour power reserve and a 4Hz beat rate.
Those yearning for the black rubber strap option of the regular Black Bay 54 may be disappointed by the exclusive 5-link Jubilee stainless steel bracelet. However, fret not, as swapping it out for a strap of your choice is always an option. The steel bracelet features the T-Fit system, allowing for micro-adjustments like other steel bands in Tudor's collection.
A New Wave in an Established Family
With its fresh new face, the Lagoon Blue edition fits snuggly in the relatively young BB54 catalog, leaving a lasting impression as a standout release.
