Strap Guide: Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT

Strap Guide: Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT

It’s been a while since our last strap guide, welcome back! Recently, we ran a contest on our Instagram page comparing Tudor models, and the Black Bay 58 GMT came out on top. One of the biggest criticisms of the original Black Bay GMT was its bulk, with many enthusiasts wishing for the sleeker proportions of the Black Bay 58 paired with a GMT function. Tudor answered that call at Watches & Wonders 2024 with the launch of the Black Bay 58 GMT. With dimensions only slightly larger than the original BB58, it delivers all the practicality of a GMT in a more refined, wearable package.

The Original Bracelet

First up, the bracelet Tudor designed for the Black Bay 58 GMT. It’s exceptionally well made, solid on the wrist, and comes with the brand’s clever T-Fit clasp, an innovation that many enthusiasts even compare favourably to Rolex’s Glidelock system. The ease of adjustment and the premium feel make it one of the highlights of the watch. And here’s the fun part: we can craft a custom strap that integrates seamlessly with the T-Fit clasp, giving you the best of both worlds: Tudor’s engineering and our strap’s versatility.


CTS Sports FKM Rubber Strap

Recently released for the Black Bay 58 and available in six versatile colours, this strap was designed to fit seamlessly on the watch. We even tried it on a Black Bay 58 GMT, and the fit is perfect. Instead of swapping out the bracelet entirely, you can pair the watch with our strap for a fresh look and added comfort, an easy way to elevate your Black Bay 58 with a touch of personal style.


Signature Pueblo Leather Strap in Olive

If metal or rubber isn’t quite your style, leather makes an excellent choice for daily wear. The Pueblo strap in Olive, in particular, pairs beautifully with the Black Bay 58, its earthy green tones complement the warm gold accents on the dial and play off the red half of the bezel for a subtle yet striking contrast. It’s a combination that feels refined but still casual enough for everyday use, giving your watch a unique personality that stands out without trying too hard.


Premium Nato Strap in Navy Red Cream

Add a splash of colour and fun with a NATO strap! The Navy, Red, and Cream tones tie in perfectly with the Black Bay 58 GMT. The deep navy complements the gold accents, the bold red mirrors the bezel, while the cream echoes the lume. Together, they highlight the watch’s travel-ready spirit and make it pop on the wrist with a more playful, adventurous edge.


Lizard Strap in Caramel

A vintage-inspired watch deserves a strap that matches its character, and that’s where lizard leather shines. With its distinct texture and refined look, it brings an old-school elegance that pairs perfectly with the Black Bay 58 GMT. The caramel tone, in particular, harmonises beautifully with the cream accents on the dial, creating a cohesive, timeless aesthetic that feels both sophisticated and unique.


The Black Bay 58 GMT is an extremely versatile watch that pairs wonderfully with a wide variety of straps. Each strap brings a different personality to the watch and your wrist, bringing a completely new experience with just a strap change.
