Watches And Wonders 2023 provided us with some great surprises from Tudor, Rolex, Grand Seiko, Oris, and many more brands from the Richemont Group and beyond. However, the Tudor release that caught my eye the most was the all new 37mm Tudor Black Bay 54 79000. So now the BB54 is finally here and I have a lot of thoughts about it after having lived with it for the past few days. In short, I am absolutely loving it, all my worries about the size and gilt dial are now gone. In fact, I think I like this much more than my two previous BB58s
So in this video I’m going to go over my impressions of this watch after living with it for a few days, the dimensions and what its like on the wrist. And also we’ll get into all the many nuances of the dial, the case, bezel, and bracelet. This BB54 isn't as cut and dry as “oh it's just a smaller BB58” it's more thoughtful and I like that. Finally I check the measurements to see if the TFIT bracelet can be swapped onto a Black Bay 58 (BB58) as well, unlike the Black Bay Pro (BB Pro).
