6 Months With The Tudor Black Bay 54 : 4 Loves And 1 Hate : The Black Bay Perfected?

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. Now I have lived with my BB54 for nearly 6 months and during this time I have really understood what the watch is all about and I have honed down its essence.

So in this video I’m going to get into the 4 loves and 1 hate about the BB54 after 6 months of ownership to see whether or not my initial impressions about the watch have persisted after traveling with it and after the honeymoon phase.

Additionally, I find out how Tudor has once again engaged in some TFIT Clasp trickery, just like they did on the Black Bay Pro so stay tuned to see what the have done this time around.
