The Tudor Black Bay 58 offers incredible value for money. How can you beat a design rooted in the brand’s past, an in-house movement, a perfect size case, and an overall top-notch execution? But most of all the Black Bay Fifty-Eight is simply a stunning watch. On a stainless steel bracelet, it turns out to be just perfect in size and appearance even for my 18cm wrist.

It’s part of why I’m delighted to see that it made its way through the preliminaries. We need this kind of $209,500 madness in our March Mania! Wearing this new flagship of the Breguet Marine collection changed me as a man. It was an exciting and humbling experience having this incredible piece of Haute Horlogerie on my wrist.?
