NEWS WATCHES

Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight Dive Watch
In a move that brings an even more conservative touch to the Black Bay collection, Tudor has just announced the release of the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight, featuring a 39mm case size. Rather than bombard us with a slew of new colors, Tudor seems to be a little more strategic with the Black Bay this year and the Black Bay GMT announced earlier today tops off the newest additions to the line-up. This is an especially welcome addition, since Tudor hasn’t stepped away from the Black Bay’s typical 41mm case size outside of the bezel-less offerings introduced a couple of years ago. The result is a watch with real vintage appeal and a case size we should see more brands experimenting with very soon.SpecificationsBrand: TudorModel: Black Bay Fifty-Eight Ref. 79030NDimensions: 39mm diameter x 11.9mm thicknessCase Material: Steel case with polished and satin finishCrystal/Lens: Domed sapphire crystalMovement: Manufacture Calibre MT5402 (COSC)Frequency: 4HzPower Reserve: 70 hoursStrap
Hublot Big Bang Alarm Repeater Watch Hands-On
One of the more interesting Hublot watches for 2015 is the limited edition Hublot Big Bang Alarm Repeater which comes in two styles. “Limited edition Big Bang?” Yes, I know that is something that we have all heard before from Hublot, but in this instance, the more exclusive nature of the watch makes a bit more sense even though there will be a combined 500 pieces in total.So, what is the Hublot Big Bang Alarm Repeater? This is an answer to the interesting question of how you make the traditional mechanical alarm watch sound a bit more… well, let’s just say, “elegant.” Recently, I’ve had more than one person ask us, “why aren’t there more modern mechanical alarm watches?” I thought about this for a while and, even though I know many of the reasons why alarms are decidedly niche, I realized that I wasn’t particularly excited about them myself.
