Case #202 β Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Blue Β Ref. M79030B-0001
Status: Active Investigation
Condition: Excellent Pre-Owned (Near New)
Scope: Full Kit (Box, Papers, Warranty Card β dated 2022)
π Case Notes
The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Blue Ref. M79030B-0001 is one of the most universally admired modern dive watches β praised for its proportions, versatility, and quiet confidence. It takes everything collectors loved about the original BB58 and renders it in a cooler, maritime palette that feels timeless rather than trendy.
At 39mm, the Fifty-Eight Blue wears with near-perfect balance. The blue dial and matching blue aluminum bezel give the watch a calm, composed presence, while Tudorβs signature snowflake hands and crisp white printing keep legibility sharp and purposeful. Itβs a diver that feels equally at home on the wrist year-round, in any setting.
This example is presented in excellent pre-owned condition, bordering on like new. Case lines remain crisp, the bezel is clean, and the dial and crystal are pristine. It includes a full kit, with the warranty card dated 2022, adding confidence and provenance to an already standout offering.
