Check out my post about the Black Bay Pro on WatchCrunch! [ Ссылка ]
The Tudor Black Bay Pro 79470 is finally here and so far its been incredible. One of the best things about the watch is the newly upgraded TFIT Clasp so naturally I tried to fit it to my Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue. If the TFIT clasp works with the BB58 Blue, it would elevate the watch to new levels as it would solve many problems at the same time. However, swapping the clasp out was not nearly as simple as I thought it would be and it became clear to me that Tudor designed the BB Pro to make such swaps as difficult as possible despite it pretty much sharing the exact same bracelet as the BB58.
So in this video I’m going to get into if the BB58 can work with the TFIT clasp and the preventative design measures Tudor took to make such a clasp change as difficult as possible. Also from the moment I wore the BB Pro I wondered about how it would wear on the many different straps I own considering the relatively thick profile of the watch. So I will get in to how the BB Pro looks on different types of straps (NATO, rubber, and leather), and more important how it wears on these straps and if they can handle the thickness of the BB Pro.
(some background) Watches And Wonders is back for 2022 and it has provided us with some great surprises from Tudor, Rolex, Grand Seiko, Oris, and many more brands from the Richemont Group and beyond. However, the release that caught my eye the most was the all new Tudor Black Bay Pro. Every year after the release of the 41mm Black Bay GMT, we've been hoping for a newer smaller GMT from Tudor, and given that this year is Tudor's 10th anniversary, we were thinking that surely 2022 is the year it'll happen. We were all expecting and hoping for a Black Bay 58 GMT, but instead we got the 39mm Black Bay Pro, which is heavily influenced by the Rolex Explorer II 1655 Freccione. This was not at all expected but I am excited about this release because it is right up my alley considering how much I love the original Rolex Explorer II.
