The Tudor Black Bay 54

Okay, let me start with some context. What is the Tudor Black Bay 54? Well, at first glance, it could be mistaken for a downsized Black Bay 58, but it is not. The “58” refers to 1958, the year in which Tudor released the Submariner ref. 7924. The Black Bay 58 is loosely inspired by that watch. I say “loosely” because many details were changed in the process. The “smiley” dial printing and the Mercedes handset, for instance, were omitted. A bezel insert with gilt-tone accents was added, and the bezel itself was different, as was the crown. Furthermore, the original 37mm size was boosted to 39mm... More here.

Possibly the most elegant tool / dress watch on the market today. Just a tad too small for too many of us.
