^ Perfect! Looks great on the tan straps. You gotta try the real James Bond regimental nato.

My bitch wrists need to try one of these. I wish they would stop with those rivets though.

Love those strap photos!
Could you grab one on nato on wrist, with the angle being side profile with the 6 o’clock side facing the camera please?

Had it back on the bracelet, but because you asked nicely.
Single pass Toxic
Double pass Toxic
Pardon the blur
Speedy Pro on ShizNit for reference as it is a great NATO Watch IMHO. It does have a bulging caseback though so you can see the strap from the side.

Thanks all
Yes, it is 20mm.
Thickness is 11.9mm
L to L is 47.6mm
Bezel exactly 39mm
For comparison , a 5 digit Rolex Sub:
Lug width 20mm
Thickness 12.3mm
L to L at 48mm
Bezel is 39.5mm
Thanks! I love my original ETA burgunday BB but this new 58 looks fantastic. Easily the best one they've come out with so far IMO. Can't wait for the variations

For me, those specs/measurements are perfect! I want one.
I recently purchased a cheap micro and it has reminded me that I can't wear thick heavy large watches.

Great photos. The general size and shape of the 58 and Explorer look spot on! Looks like the main difference is that the explorer has a slightly thinner mid-case and more bulging case back.

That's accurate. The Explorer is more svelte than the 58, but of course the 58 is very svelte as far as divers go.

They did an excellent job with the new smaller movement to get that side profile.

Looks amazing. Absolute home run for Tudor. I'm actually not sure there is anything they could do to this watch to make it any better for me. I need one.

I like the gold, but I am surprised that Tudor hasn't offered a non-gilt/black bezel combo. Maybe too close to the Rolex sub?

Taking the comparison shots made me want to keep the Explorer as well as the BB.
