Anyone else interested in the Tudor BB 54 ?

thelinendial · Apr 11, 2023

I’m intrigued and will be debating swapping out for my BB58, but want to try it out in person first.

I tried one on at the AD as well. I have a 7.3 inch circumference wrist. I felt like it wore nicely even for my wrist.

Im interested, have both blue and black bb58. What i would have really liked is if the hardware was silver. Not convinced by the gold hardware on my bb58. I really like the profile of the bb54. I will be trying one of these on for sure. Another good release by Tudor imo

Saw the bb54 at the AD over the weekend. Works very well on my 6.25 inches wrist. To me, the most significant and positive change is the shorter rehaut, which brings the watch much closer to the form factor of vintage watches. Definitely encourage people to see it in person and give it a try.

glad to see these are actually in ads

Same I went back and form and ended up with the linguine spirit Zulu time.

I’m with you and love what they for w the pelagos 39. Slimmer than the previous version, few mm smaller case size, removed the date and even added a red line. I’m unloading my 42 ceramic PO for this eventually. She’s just a bit too thick to wear under dress shirts. But she was my beach and vacation watch I could beat on. ESP on rubber.
Now the bb54 is the bb58 w more classic dimensions. U can’t go wrong w this either.
I feel that both are very different and would fit into anyone’s collections very nicely.
Send pics when u acquire them!

In watches of Switzerland in LHR this evening, thought id pop in and see if they had a BB54. Was told only available to parties with a registered interest, whatever the hell that means. Did not have any it appears, but became very focused after he spotted the white dialed speedy on my wrist.

Sounds like Tudor is starting to follow the Rolex playbook. You will need to buy 3 bronze BB’s, 2 BB36’s a 41mm Ranger and then you can be on the waiting list for a ‘54.

When a new Tudor comes out, supply seems to be really low for the first 6-12 months. I tried to get on 'the list' at our local AD for a couple of Tudors a couple years ago (first a BB58 and then a PO1). They said 'oh, we've only gotten one of that model in the last year' and that they don't have a list to put me on.

Clearly, I don't spend enough to get on the Tudor list, let alone dream of being on the Rolex waitlist.

Anyone having luck getting one of these? I’m still waiting on a pelagos 39

Picked up the 54 at my AD yesterday and had it on the wrist since.
Lovely watch with very slim profile.

T fit clasp fantastic and easy-adjust has been useful given the current wee heatwave in Scotland.

Previously have owned a black bay and Tudor GMT but moved them on as felt they wore thick on the wrist.

The 54 has a vintage feel about it yet still feeling modern. Recommended.

yup, watches of switzerland in soho and hudson yards. Same bs. They dont even have the watch to try on. no exhibition model. hopefully someone in my watch group will get one eventually.

Changed out the bracelet for a black canvas strap today.
Comfortable and looks cool 😀

Does anyone know if the uncle seiko jubilee for the black bay 58 fits on the 54?

Both 20mm I think.

scapa · Jun 14, 2023

I'm not in the market for a BB54 but I know my AD has at least one set aside for a customer -- will try and have a look when I go in shortly and will snap some pix if it's still there.

I tend to prefer smaller watches for everyday wear and proper dive watches for when I'm in or under water, so interested to see how these wear. I've got the T-fit on a BB58 and find it useful.

Not sure, but Uncle is typically very responsive to questions like this -- I'd just reach out to him. I have one of his Jubilees and it works well on the 58.

I emailed and him and got a prompt reply to advise the jubilee isn't compatible..... But he is developing a jubilee for the 54 over the coming months 😀

thats a relief. i hope they do a president too. bought a president from uncle but still havent tried to put it on the 58

I'm interested in getting a jubilee on the BB54 as well. Tried one on at the AD this weekend and loved it; held up a new BB36 with jubilee next to the BB54 and yow, that is what I want. Uncle Seiko or Foerstner would be OK I suppose, I like their efforts well enough. But I'd really really like to see Tudor offer their own jubilee on the BB54. I'd buy that config watch in a heartbeat. Take my money!

Looks fantastic even on an 8“ wrist.
