Tudor unveils a limited-edition Black Bay 58 with a special dial celebrating Inter Milan’s second star
This limited edition model is a must-buy for football fans and watch fans alike
If you’re not a fan of Tudor’s Pink Black Bay Chronograph launched earlier this year in collaboration with Jay Chou (and, to some extent, Inter Miami CF – David Beckham’s MLS football team), you might prefer this special Black Bay 58 model instead.
The watch has been created to celebrate Inter Milan’s second star and uses the team’s signature colours: blue and black.
For those that don’t follow Italian football, in Serie A, a team earns a star to be permanently affixed to its jersey for every 10 titles won. Inter Milan, after an excellent season and with five matches still to be played, became Italian Champions, winning their 20th Scudetto and earning their Second Star.
The dial features the logo of Inter at six o’clock, along with the two stars they’ve earned, printed in gilt.
An ombré gradient pattern, fading from blue in the centre to black in the periphery, adds a striking visual effect to this exclusive dial.
In terms of the case and bracelet, you’re getting the standard Black Bay 58 – an excellent 39mm steel case which is water resistant to 200 metres.
Inside is the Manufacture Calibre MT5402 (COSC), a self-winding mechanical movement with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
This new Black Bay 58 will be proudly worn by the players of Inter Milan and is limited to 1908 numbered pieces. It will be available at the Tudor Boutique in Milan and Rome as well as all Tudor points of sale throughout Italy.
If you’re in the UK and want to get your hands on one of these watches, you should contact your local Tudor retailer as an undisclosed number has been allocated to the UK market.
If you prefer cycling to football, then I suggest you check out the Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono Cycling Edition – a high-performance watch with a carbon composite case.
