To celebrate Inter Milan’s recent triumph in the Serie A – a 20th title for the Italian football club – Tudor has created the Black Bay 58 “Inter”. This limited edition Black Bay 58 (BB58) features a gradient blue dial with the club’s emblem above the six o’clock marker, flanked by two gold stars – one for each of the football club’s 10 league titles.

First presented to the club’s players, the watch will be also available to the public as a limited edition of 1,908 pieces, available only at Tudor boutiques and retailers in Italy. 

Initial thoughts

Football aside, the BB58 “Inter” is a good looking watch. The blue ombré dial is striking and different from the usual Tudor aesthetic, and it compliments the vintage-inspired aesthetic well.

At the same time, the Inter Milan logo and twin stars are also fairly discreet, while serving as visual balance for the Tudor logo above.

The rest of the watch is identical to the standard model, which means a compact, easily wearable case, high-spec in-house movement. Pricing is also comparable to the regular production model, which makes it a great value proposition.

I Nerazzurri

Already associated with the America’s Cup, Formula 1, and pro cycling, Tudor is now furthering its involvement with football. Already the official timekeeper for American soccer club Inter Miami C.F., Tudor is now partnered with one of the most famous football clubs in Europe. 

Short for Internazionale Milano, Inter Milan. Founded in 1908, the club is one of the most successful in Europe with its 20 Serie A domestic league titles as well as a trio of UEFA Champions League titles.

The dial is dressed in the blue and black colours of Inter, which is nicknamed I Nerazzurri, which translates as the “blacks and blues”. It’s features a gradient finish that darkens from blue to black on the edges.

The club’s logo and twin gold stars for its 20 league titles are printed in gilt above six o’clock to match the “gilt” finish on the dial. The club emblem is also engraved on the back of each watch, which also bears an individual serial number out of 1,908.

Apart from cosmetic changes, the watch is unchanged from the standard model with the same case dimensions at 39 mm in diameter and 11.9 mm thick. Inside is the MT5402, a COSC-certified in-house movement with a substantial power reserve of 70 hours, a non-magnetic silicon hairspring, and free-sprung balance wheel.

The BB58 “Inter” is delivered with two straps: a rivet-style bracelet and a black fabric strap in blue and black. Unlike the exclusive rainbow-coloured ceramic versions made for the Visa Cash App RB Formula 1 Team, this edition will be available to the general public, though exclusively through Tudor’s boutiques and authorised retailers in Italy.
