Two Stars for the Campioni d’Italia: Tudor Creates Special Edition of Black Bay 58 For FC Inter Milan
After a stellar season and with five games to spare, FC Internazionale Milano were crowned Serie A champions, sealing their 20th Scudetto and claiming their fabled second star thanks to a 2-1 derby win over AC Milan. It was a historic result that came at the end of an emotional campaign in which Simone Inzaghi’s men proved themselves to be the best team in the country.
To commemorate the occasion, Tudor has created a special Black Bay 58 model in the team’s colors of blue and black. But that is not all. The dial of the Black Bay 58 “Inter” features the Inter logo at six o’clock and the two stars that the team has earned, printed in gold. A gradient pattern, known as ombre, fading from blue at the center to black at the periphery, adds a striking visual effect.
Proudly worn by the players of Inter, this watch is limited to 1,908 numbered pieces that are exclusively available in Italy. The Black Bay 58 takes its name from the year it was launched as Tudor’s first diver’s watch. Waterproof to 200 meters, it was an amazing feat of engineering for the time. Like the original reference 7924, called the “Big Crown”, the commemorative edition has a diameter of 39mm. In another nod to the era in which it was launched, gold finishes have been added to the luminescent indices, the Snowflake hands which have been a hallmark since they first appeared on a Black Bay dial in 1969 and minute track of the black and steel bezel.
At the heart of the watch ticks the classic Black Bay movement, the self-winding manufacture caliber MT5402 with a COSC chronometer rating, a frequency of 28,800 vph, and an impressive power reserve of 70 hours.
The limited edition watch will be available to view on display at the I M 2STARS celebration on Monday 20 May at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, Italy. The watch will then be available for purchase online and at the Milan and Rome Tudor boutique stores and other authorized Tudor resellers across Italy.
