Creator Consensus

Very positive

12 reviews: 12 positive, 0 mixed, 0 negative. 9 of 12 recommend it.

Reviewers are very positive. Nearly all praise the case and proportions, and most note it is barely thicker than the time-only BB58 and wears without bulk. Most also single out the T-fit micro-adjust clasp, the Master Chronometer certification and the fit and finish, while several enjoy the warm gilt accents.

Where they differ. The bracelet splits opinion: despite the praised clasp, several find the faux rivets gimmicky and some report a sharp clasp shield edge. On the dial, several call the lume bright while some find it underwhelming, and several say the gilt GMT hand blends in with the other hands.

Tudor Blackbay 58 GMT Review: I'm Not Keeping It

Video, 8 minHands-on reviewDec 2024

PositiveRecommends, with caveats

Calls the BB58 GMT a great, well-built watch with an excellent true GMT movement and superb T-fit bracelet. Personally dislikes the thin bezel, thin similar hands and heavy gilt, and finds the clasp shield sharp. Won't keep it, mainly because it duplicates their existing watches.

Designnegative: Likes the red and black bezel colours, finding them vibrant and complementary. 2:25
Feels the design is off in real life despite looking great on camera. 2:25
Finds the gilt accents excessive, throwing off the watch's balance. 2:54
Personally does not connect with the overall design. 3:51

All three hands blend together; wants more contrast or a different GMT hand colour. 2:54

Wants a bolder, more pronounced bezel like the GMT-Master II. 3:22
Wearabilitymixed: Believes the dimensions make it wearable for most wrists. 0:59
Finds it slightly big for their own skinny 6-inch wrist, though not massive. 4:48
Bracelet & strapmixed: Finds the three-link bracelet comfortable even after hours of wear. 0:59
Loves the T-fit on-the-go adjustment, which works well without bulking the clasp. 1:28
The Tudor shield on the clasp is sharp enough to have cut the reviewer. 5:47

Can't justify $4,600 personally given redundancy with existing collection. 6:43
Compared with: Rolex GMT-Master II: Prefers the bolder bezel; owning it makes the Tudor redundant.
Tudor Black Bay 54: Prefers its moderate gold tones and smaller size for a thin wrist.

Hands-On With The Handsome Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT

ArticleHands-on reviewOct 2024Thomas Van Straaten

PositiveRecommends, with caveats

Initially underwhelmed by its predictable vintage styling, the reviewer grew to enjoy the BB58 GMT after wearing it, praising its proportions, build quality and value versus Rolex. Reservations remain about how the retro look will age and a sharp clasp edge.

Suits: Buyers wanting an everyday sports GMT with vintage charm under €5,000

What the review says, point by point

Designmixed: Found the design so expected it felt like it had always been in the catalogue.
Thinks it looks much better on the wrist than in photos.
Came to appreciate its playful, not-too-serious character.
Doubts the heavy vintage-inspired styling will age as well as true classics.
Case & proportionspositive: Feels the proportions are so right it should be Tudor's standard.
Notes it avoids the off-balance look common in reproportioned watches.
Wearabilitypositive: Has enough steel presence to feel sporty and confident.
Looks elegant and sits comfortably on the wrist.
Bracelet & strapmixed: Praises the smooth T-fit micro-adjustment and confident click.
The shield on the locking lip is sharp enough to hurt when opening.
Would choose the bracelet since the rubber strap looks too modern for the head.
Finishing & buildpositive: Considers it simply a very well-made watch.
Bracelet construction and crown and bezel operation feel luxurious.
Versatilitypositive: Balance of sportiness and elegance makes it perfect for daily wear.
Originalitymixed: Found it long-awaited and aesthetically predictable, hence unimpressive at launch.
Would have preferred a more evolved, modern take on the design.
Notes the colourway isn't a direct copy of a vintage Rolex GMT.
Believes it occupies a unique position among vintage and modern alternatives.
Valuepositive: Thinks Tudor leads its price segment on construction and finishing.
Has seen watches at twice the price with inferior build.
Rolex GMT options cost at least double without being proportionally better.
Compared with: Rolex GMT-Master II (current): Rolex more refined but not 2.4 times so; Tudor less flashy.
Rolex GMT-Master (vintage/five-digit): Similar charm and dimensions but with modern, non-rattly build and reliability.
Rolex GMT-Master 1675 (gilt): Evokes the 1675, though side by side similarities are smaller.

The Perfect Tudor? The New BB58 GMT.

Video, 14 minHands-on reviewJul 2024

Very positiveRecommends

Calls it arguably the best current Tudor: great size, slim true-GMT movement, excellent T-fit clasp and lovely wear. Quibbles cover weak lume, modest legibility, retro gold styling, availability, date-setting hassle and a steep price that is still fair versus the regular BB58.

Suits: Daily wearer or one-watch collection for those wanting date and GMT functions

What they said, point by point

Case & proportionspositive: Welcomes that it is barely thicker than the three-hand BB58. 1:05
Considers the lug-to-lug length well judged. 3:27
Sees the thin sloping bezel as an advantage, being hard to knock accidentally. 5:22
Notes the crown is smaller than on other BB58s, likely for comfort. 2:58
Bracelet & strappositive: Calls the T-fit clasp the best in the business, compact and neat. 5:51
Finds the riveted bracelet perfectly decent, but unchanged from the regular 58. 5:51
Likes the taper from 20 to 16mm. 9:13
Wearabilitypositive: Finds it a pleasure to wear with lots of presence for a sub-40mm watch. 7:46
Considers the 145g weight spot-on and fantastic. 9:13
Thinks fit on average wrists could hardly be better. 9:13
Dialmixed: Appreciates the relatively minimal dial text for Tudor. 7:17
Finds legibility merely okay due to faux-tina hands and indices. 8:44
Finds the lume unimpressive with none on the bezel insert. 10:11
Designpositive: Embraces its fully retro aesthetic. 7:46
Notes the gold retro look is less fashionable in 2024 than it was years ago. 11:08
Still personally enjoys the faux patina and gold. 11:08
Originalitypositive: Admits the design brings nothing new but doesn't see that as a problem. 7:46
Finds the snowflake-style dial and hands unmistakably Tudor. 6:20
Movementpositive: Finds the movements attractive and nicely made if not ornate. 3:55
Values METAS certification as a step beyond COSC. 4:23
Functionalitymixed: Praises the bezel action as among the best in the business. 5:22
Says setting the date on a true GMT is tedious when rotating watches. 10:40
Finds the date not very prominent without a cyclops, though contrast helps. 9:13
Versatilitypositive: Loves it as a daily watch or sole watch for those needing date and GMT. 12:37
Valuemixed: Considers the price a significant sum and notes rising Tudor prices. 11:37
Thinks the modest premium over the BB58 is reasonable for the added features. 12:37
Expects resale value to dip unlike a Rolex. 12:07
Complains that it is hard to buy new due to limited supply. 9:41
Compared with: Tudor Black Bay Pro: BB58 GMT is noticeably slimmer than the thick 14.6mm Pro.
Tudor Black Bay 58: Adds GMT, date, METAS and T-fit clasp for under $1,000 more.
Tudor Pelagos 39: Pelagos 39 offers far better at-a-glance legibility.
Tudor Black Bay 41 (monochrome): BB41 has a more modern, cleaner look versus the retro GMT.

The Tudor GMT We Were Waiting For: The Black Bay 58 GMT

Video, 9 minHands-on reviewJul 2024

Positive

Sees the BB58 GMT as the watch enthusiasts had long requested: a true GMT in a slim 39mm case that feels like a Black Bay 58. Praises the T-fit clasp, lume and Master Chronometer calibre, but finds the burgundy-and-black bezel colour a peculiar choice and notes the riveted bracelet won't suit everyone.

Suits: Enthusiasts wanting a Black Bay 58-sized travel GMT

What they said, point by point

Case & proportionspositive: Highlights the case thickness, close to the time-only BB58, as the biggest draw. 2:23
Feels just like a Black Bay 58, which is what enthusiasts wanted. 2:50
Wearabilitypositive: Credits the domed crystal carrying much of the height for how well it wears. 3:19
Designmixed: Finds the bezel colour choice peculiar, noting Pepsi or blue/black would be more popular. 7:40
Agrees the 'caffeine-free Diet Coke' nickname fairly describes the colourway. 3:47
Believes the watch delivers on what many enthusiasts were asking for. 7:40
Bracelet & strapmixed: Calls the T-fit clasp phenomenal and among the best regardless of price. 4:15
Personally neutral on the riveted-look bracelet, though it adds throwback flair. 4:15
Notes buyers who dislike faux-rivet bracelets will be unhappy. 7:40
Dialpositive: Rates the lume on hands and markers as among the best in the industry. 5:14
Movementpositive: Sees the Master Chronometer calibre as an important chapter for the brand. 7:10
Values it being a true traveller GMT rather than a caller GMT. 5:44
Functionalitypositive: Considers it a genuine go-anywhere travel watch given its water resistance. 2:50
Compared with: Tudor Black Bay Pro: Pro's 14.6mm thickness disappointed; the 58 GMT fixes that.
Tudor Black Bay 58: Only about 1mm thicker, feeling very much like a BB58.
Rolex GMT-Master: Bezel concept borrowed from GMT-Master, with Tudor's own burgundy/black twist.

Review: The New Tudor Blackbay 58 GMT

ArticleHands-on reviewJul 2024Stanley Leung

Very positiveRecommends

Presents the Black Bay 58 GMT as an ideal travel watch. The reviewer praises the gilt satin dial, the slim case with only modest added thickness over the time-only 58, the Master Chronometer movement and the clever T-Fit clasp, and expects it to appeal to both seasoned and entry-level collectors.

Very positiveRecommends

Sees the BB58 GMT as a near-certain hit that captures vintage Rolex GMT romance in a slimmer, higher-quality package, and one of the best values under US$5,000. Its only real misses are generic dial typography and unnecessary faux-rivet bracelet styling.

Case & proportionspositive: Considers the reduced thickness a fix that makes the watch feel sleek in hand and on wrist.

Finds the faux rivets unnecessary.
Wishes for a version without the fake rivets, calling them gimmicky.

Credits it with iconic design unmatched in its price range.

Sees it as a more natural successor to the 16710 than Rolex's own follow-up.

Believes Tudor's in-house calibres lead their price segment on specs.
Functionalitypositive: Finds the bezel action a tangible improvement in quality.
Finishing & buildpositive: Struggles to name another watch in its range with as much tangible quality.
Valuepositive: Calls it one of the best values available under US$5,000.
Compared with: Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 16710: Technically superior in bezel, clasp and movement; feels like its natural heir.
Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116710LN: BB58 GMT feels a more natural 16710 successor than the ceramic 116710LN.

How Good is the new Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT?

ArticleHands-on reviewMay 2024Brice Goulard

Very positiveRecommends, with caveats

Sees the BB58 GMT as the smaller, slimmer Tudor GMT enthusiasts wanted, with excellent quality, certification and functionality that competitors struggle to match. The main caveats are whether you like the vintage coke-gilt bezel and the low-contrast GMT hand.

Suits: Active wearers wanting one versatile dive/travel watch who like vintage coke-gilt colours

What the review says, point by point

Case & proportionspositive: The 1.8mm thickness reduction versus earlier Tudor GMTs is very noticeable on the wrist.
Considers the proportions the ones most enthusiasts wanted all along.
Considers the lug-to-lug length reasonable.
Wearabilitypositive: Very pleasant on the wrist, particularly on the rubber strap.
The box crystal makes it feel closer to 12mm thick than 13mm.
Designpositive: Likes the dark coke-gilt bezel for its subdued, warm, vintage look.
Its appeal depends on liking the bezel colours, which not everyone does.
Finds the colour scheme charming and distinctive within the catalogue.
Dialmixed: Finds the gilt dial charming with pleasing retro touches.
The GMT hand matches the other gold hands, reducing legibility.
Appreciates the matching cream date disc and minimal dial text.
Bracelet & strappositive: The rubber strap's end-links are well integrated.
The clasps' ceramic ball bearings give a smooth, secure closure.
Notes some would prefer an Oyster-style bracelet over the riveted design.
Movementpositive: Sees the Master Chronometer certification as probably the toughest testing in use.
Finishing & buildpositive: Feels very solid, with evident fit-and-finish quality.
Rates the overall quality as excellent.
Functionalitypositive: Finds the functionality and ease of use beyond dispute.
Versatilitypositive: Considers it able to do everything an active wearer needs.
Works with smart-casual office clothing.
Valuepositive: Hard to match its quality and certification at this price.
Notes such a watch once cost under 4k euros.
Still considers it one of the most compelling sports-travel watches available.
Compared with: Tudor Black Bay GMT 41mm: The BB58 GMT is smaller, slimmer, shorter and lighter.
Tudor Black Bay Pro: Same 39mm diameter, but the BB58 GMT is 1.8mm thinner.
Rolex GMT-Master II: Proportions now close; Rolex thinner but with less water resistance.
Longines Spirit Zulu Time 39mm: A serious, roughly 1k euro cheaper alternative with a COSC true GMT.
Longines HydroConquest GMT 41mm: Another diving-GMT option at a lower price.
Mido Ocean Star GMT Special Edition: Cheaper, but can't rival the Tudor's quality, certification and functionality.
Certina DS Action GMT: More accessible, but outclassed on quality, certification and functionality.

Video, 4 minHands-on reviewApr 2024

Positive

A brief hands-on in which the reviewer expected the coke bezel and gilt details to feel gimmicky but found the watch looks really nice on the wrist. The main reservation is the rubber strap, which clashes with the vintage styling; the bracelet is preferred, despite its faux rivets.

Finds it looks really nice in person and likes it on the wrist. 2:52
The gilt accents do not bother the reviewer once seen in person. 2:52
Originalitypositive: Notes the design clearly draws on older Rolex GMT-Master models. 0:28
Likes the slightly glossy bezel as a nod to old bakelite bezels. 0:28
Feels Tudor is delivering what enthusiasts had hoped Rolex would make. 0:00

Hands-On: Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT Watch

ArticleHands-on reviewApr 2024Celine Simon

Very positiveRecommends

The reviewer finds the Black Bay 58 GMT lives up to the hype. It is slimmer and more wearable than Tudor's other GMTs, with a clean, legible dial, excellent case execution and a Master Chronometer movement. The only quibbles are slightly orange bezel numerals and a wish for a Jubilee-style bracelet.

What the review says, point by point

Case & proportionspositive: Credits the new model with avoiding the thickness complaints aimed at other Tudor GMTs.
Finds the bezel's gilt numerals slightly too orange, though close to the intended gold.
Notes the glossy bezel looks shiny or subdued depending on the light.
Wearabilitypositive: Says the proportions make it wear very well.
Finds it a great fit on the wrist without bulk.
Credits the female end-links with helping the bracelet drape comfortably.
Finishing & buildpositive: Rates the case quality and execution as excellent, in line with Tudor's standards.
Dialpositive: Appreciates the minimal two lines of dial text for a clean look.
Thinks the light date disc works by continuing the flow of the hour markers.
Says all dial elements work together for a sharp, legible face.

Credits the watch with appealing aesthetics and thoughtful proportions.
Bracelet & strappositive: Prefers the bracelet over the rubber strap for look, fit and feel.
Thinks a Jubilee-style bracelet would better suit the retro vibe.
Considers the tool-free T-Fit micro-adjust clasp a thoughtful touch.
Versatilitypositive: Calls the 20mm lug width friendly to strap swapping, making it a potential strap monster.
Movementpositive: Notes the 65-hour reserve is shorter than other Tudor GMTs but offset by METAS accuracy and antimagnetism.
Functionalitypositive: Describes the overall functionality as superb.
Compared with: Tudor Black Bay GMT: Almost 2mm thinner, though with slightly less power reserve.
Tudor Black Bay Pro: Almost 2mm thinner than the 14.6mm Pro.
Tudor Black Bay 58: Only 0.9mm thicker; overall look is in line with it.

ArticleFirst lookApr 2024Zach Kazan

Positive

A brief launch hands-on that finds the BB58 GMT delivers exactly what fans wanted: sensible 12.8mm thickness, excellent wearability, and a warmer, more luxe gilt aesthetic that sets it slightly apart within the Black Bay line.

Believes the thickness complaints aimed at the Black Bay Pro cannot fairly apply here.

Appreciates the warmth of the gilt accents.
