TUDOR HODINKEE Unique Piece Black Bay 58 Ref 79030N Full Set Unpolished
This is a very special TUDOR HODINKEE Black Bay 58 piece unique with a HODINKEE case-back engraving. The watch was presented in 2023 for a charitable raffle supporting the Horological Society of New York. HODINKEE raised a great deal of money for the charity and it was very inspiring.
It features signs of light wear and scratches, but it is unpolished.
“You might recognize this watch from the cover of the Hodinkee Magazine Vol. 10, and you might just be able to get it for yourself! In celebration of our second annual 10/10, we’re raffling off this unique Tudor Black Bay 58. Back in 2019, we worked with Tudor to create a Tudor Black Bay 58 with a Hodinkee-signed dial. These pieces were made specifically for Hodinkee employees and were never made available for public sale. Among the already few Hodinkee-signed Black Bay 58s, this one watch, in particular, was crafted to be truly one-of-a-kind, complete with a custom caseback engraving to celebrate Volume 10 of Hodinkee Magazine. Now is your chance to own a truly special Tudor, while also contributing to an amazing organization. A portion of the raffle proceeds will be donated to The Horological Society of New York. Tickets will be available for purchase until 3 AM EST/12 AM PT. The winner will be announced on the following day 10/11 after 12 PM ET.”
I will never forget seeing my first TUDOR Black Bay 58 on the wrist of Jason Fried in Chicago many years ago, and I was floored by the watch.
The TUDOR Black Bay 58 is one of the coolest modern watches. The design is inspired by the iconic Rolex “Big Crown” Submariner references 6538, 6200, 5510, and the TUDOR Submariner reference 7924. The dials have a similar texture to the matte dials with gold accents inspired by gilt dials. For those who love HODINKEE and appreciate the greatness of the TUDOR Black Bay 58, this is an incredible timepiece to wear in any setting.
We do not know the service history, but it is running well. The watch comes as a “full set” with a box and papers. It comes from the original owner. It comes with the H10 Magazine.
PRICE: $19,900 (Item SBUXYT4335)
