Tudor watches get a lot of attention here on the Online Magazine, our KZfaq channel and social media. The fantastic balance between value for money, great designs, accessibility and brand heritage means they’re pretty hard for us to ignore. The other reason we like them so much is how amazing they look when you change the strap out for something more unique.
Today we’re going to take a look at the Tudor Black Bay 58 specifically and a selection of watch straps to really make the watch your own…
Things to consider.
Before we get into it, let’s go over the watches stand out features we can use when thinking of watch straps to fit the watch as well as key stats to consider:
Firstly, the watch features a lot of gilt colours on dial and bezel. This means that straps with warmer tones and colours will look great on the piece. Leather straps will be a fantastic option here. The use of colour on the Black Bay 58 doesn’t end there, as there is a subtle addition on the bezel. A red triangle can be found at 12 o’clock, although it's only small, it could be something we look to pick out with maybe a stitching colour or strap choice.
The simple, legible design of the dial means we can really have some fun with the straps and not have to worry about taking away from the watches design too much. Speaking of the dial, the Black Bay 58 has a matt black dial so we can go explore more sport straps to create some not just stylish, but also very reliable looks.
To start with let’s look at a range of leather straps and the Highley Douglas in Olive Brown. Normally straps either use the stitching or the strap colour to create a cohesive look. Here the Olive Brown option actually uses both, working together to create an end product that looks pretty special. The strap colour means it sometimes looks almost orange/gold in its tones which works well with the gilt on the dial. The stitching in ivory picks up on the lume colour nicely.
