I don't know if I would call it the perfect dive watch, but the sizing is spot on. Watches have had a very bad trend of constantly getting larger for no real reason over the past few years. Glad to see that people are coming back around to preferring not to wear a dinner plate on their wrist.
I got the BB54 a few weeks ago. I have a larger wrist and I love the way it feels and how it looks. People are too wrapped up with current fads and how watches should be larger than decades past. Anyone who can afford this watch isn’t really concerned with it being a diver. It’s a flex for sure, but a small bit of the population will actually appreciate mechanical watches for what they are and the art/engineering that goes into them.
I love mechanical watches. I have a collection of them and I wear them almost daily. I love how the mechanical movements are put together and I love the engineering and the history behind them. But, in all honesty. The perfect dive watch is a dive computer, or a cheaper G shock.
@@AwkwardHorology I can fully understand. But in my case, I'm considering selling the BB54 tu, because I'm on the list for an Explorer1. Currently I still have the BB58 GMT & the Pelagos39 in the collection, one Black Bay should be enough.
@@jonebm own both and agree. Both divers, but enough differences they can both reside in the same collection. The Pelagos 39 is an advanced, modern, professional diver, whereas, the black bays focus more on form over function for vintage styling sake - sacrificing many of the ISO requirements needed for a modern diver (e.g crown guards, diver’s extension, legibility, etc).
Funnily enough I was wearing the 58 for a day this week - and although subjective my thoughts are: 1) the 37mm size of the 54 wears better on me no doubt! 2) I prefer the cleaner and non yellow look of the bezel on the 54 to the 58 3) the clasp on the 54 is class 4) it feels more vintage inspired than the 58 which for the style of the watch I definitely prefer! The 58 is a gorgeous watch without doubt - but the 54 has a different wearing experience for me.
I tried the 54 and it’s definitely not too small on my 6.5 wrist. I think as a 1 watch collection the 54 is perfect. However, if you have a multiple watch collection, you may want something with a little more spicey because for all its goodness, the 54 is a bit boring looking watch at least when compared to the 58. Unlike the 54, the 58 is not an exact replica of back catalog Tudor, it is its own thing. The gilted bezel adds a nice warmth and harmony with the gold on the dial, the red triangle harkens back to the Rolex/Tudor Big Crown and serves to break up the monotony of the watch. I also find the more refined coin edge bezel and matching crown very elegant. It is a very special watch that isn’t an exact replica.
It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. amzwatch watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?
@@scollyutube You probably shouldn’t…bezel vs bracelet is not a reasonable comparison. How much more surface area are we talking about when comparing the two.
How can it be a homage brand if they made a modern version of their original model of 1954 the Submariner 7922. It’s the same brand releasing their own models. Not some microbrand copying models and using designs of another brand, that’s homage. Not this. If you think this is homage, then Omega is homage too, releasing new versions of their speedmaster every year.
If it were perfect, it would have crown guards. Also, the crown at 4.30 is more comfortable. The Marinemaster 300 is a better watch. "Whack" lyrical. Lololol
The marine master doesn’t have crown guards either…I have the SLA053 US special edition black and blue which I’m in love with as my only Seiko now. That goes with my Tudor Ranger as my main two watches…I agree the marine master is the real deal when it comes to divers on the market these days and it’s so unique. When I saw the black Zaratsu finishing and prismic blue face of the SLA053 I knew it was the marine master I had to have as mine.
And it was worn at a time when larger watches we almost unheard of. They had far limited choices. Honestly these hefty men look absurd with those tiny watches. No reflection in their masculinity.
@@snapfitness1 Okay then, so what you meant is, “This watch is too small for my XL wrist”… which is quite a subjective comment. It’s well known amongst enthusiasts that the BB54 has a surprising amount of wrist presence (for people with average to large wrists) despite its seemingly small 37mm size.
Is 37mm the perfect size for a diver? I think it depends on the cut and shape of the case but I was really surprised by how good this is!
Does it fit a 14 wrist ?
I have a 18.5 cm wrist and its perfect… if you like it buy it😉👍

It’s a beauty that’s for sure! 👌🏽
Having smaller wrists, the 54 is a perfect fit for me. I absolutely love mine, and wear it daily.
It’s the perfect black bay in my opinion! 😎

My favourite looking Tudor… absolutely love the vintage styling.
Best diver out there indeed.
It's perfect for a 6.5" wrist that's for sure. I'm over the moon with mine 😊

@@zacharyelias4643 I think you maybe right if you are looking at an actual dive capable watch!
The french navy uses the pelagos FXD. But a dive computer is a safer bet for a dive hobbyist
Man we Def need à true comparaison between thé Tudor and thé Cronos 👀
I was thinking the same thing! I’ll need to buy it back in for review again 😁

Do u think its better than the modern Pelagos39?
As an all rounder and for its aesthetic, yes I do. However the Tudor Pelagos 39mm is a fantastic watch, but for me the Black Bay 54 is a perfect watch

@@Julian_O91I have both a BB54 and an Exp1. They are different enough, in my opinion 😊

@@AwkwardHorology ahh I see your points , I have the bb58 blue , which I find to be a beautiful modern take with vintage looks
@@dazlarg you know I would love to try to on the blue it would be my second choice after the 54!

I'd argue the Pelegos is better.... Titanium is awesome.
Definitely the better out and out diver. But for me I love the 54😎
Titanium scratches if you look at it wrong. If you’re ok with that, more power to you😊
@sirhcnosral hasn't been any worse so far.
We better not mention aluminium bezel inserts then either.......

Its been said Tudor is a homage brand

Disagree, they’re “homaging” their own watches. It’s not like they’re some chinese knockoff brand

The Marinemaster 300 is a better watch.

Not even best Tudor dive watch. Pelagos.
Hmmmm.... maybe I should give the 39mm a try 😎😉
way more better!
Yes it’s betterest!
Way too small for a men sport watch. Far from perfection. But the BB41 Monochrome...
You know what! I would've agreed with you until I tried it on... it did something to me 😂
@@AwkwardHorology In any case, it's a pretty little thing for sure.

Boring. Tudor all about Black Bay.
And Rolex all about the oyster. What’s the problem
Of course it's not perfect, it's way to small for every wrist size. Wrist presence matters to me and I wouldn't give this model a second look.
How big is your wrist?
