Watch Straps for the Tudor Black Bay 58
The Tudor Black Bay 58 is one of the most strap-friendly watches you can buy — a perfectly sized 39mm vintage-style diver that looks great on almost anything. It takes a 20mm lug width, and its slim case and gilt accents pair effortlessly with rubber, leather, sailcloth, NATO, or a riveted-style bracelet. Tudor's own fabric and leather straps run $130–$250, and a replacement riveted bracelet costs far more. The BB58 is famous in collector circles precisely because owners love swapping straps on it. Because the case is compact and not too thick, even thinner straps look balanced. Other sites carry 20mm FKM rubber, sailcloth, leather, and riveted-style bracelets starting at $6.
Buying tips
- 01The Black Bay 58's 39mm case and 20mm lugs are a sweet spot — almost any 20mm strap looks proportional, which is why it's a favorite for strap collectors.
- 02Tudor's gilt (gold-toned) dial accents pair especially well with brown and tan leather, as well as gilt-stitched straps that echo the dial color.
- 03The BB58 case is relatively slim for a diver, so it carries thinner straps and single-pass nylons gracefully without looking top-heavy.
- 04Tudor's own rubber and fabric straps are excellent but pricey; a 20mm FKM rubber or woven nylon from other sites gives a similar look for far less.

What lug width is the Tudor Black Bay 58?
The Tudor Black Bay 58 uses a 20mm lug width, paired with its 39mm case. That 20mm spacing is one of the most common in watchmaking, so you can fit almost any 20mm strap — rubber, leather, nylon, sailcloth, or bracelet — without anything custom. Note that the larger 41mm Black Bay (non-58 models) uses a 22mm lug width, so if you own that version, you'll need 22mm straps instead. For the BB58 specifically, 20mm is the number to remember.
Why is the Black Bay 58 so popular for strap swaps?
A few reasons converge. Its 39mm case is ideally sized for a wide range of wrists, the 20mm lug width is extremely common, and the vintage-inspired design — gilt accents, domed crystal, slim profile — looks at home on nearly every strap style. Rubber makes it a sporty diver, leather dresses it up, NATO gives it military flair, and the riveted bracelet nails the heritage look. That versatility, plus a passionate owner community, makes the BB58 one of the most strap-swapped watches around.
Can I get an aftermarket riveted bracelet for the BB58?
Yes. The Black Bay 58's signature riveted-style bracelet has faux exposed rivets along the outer links for a vintage look, and several aftermarket makers offer 20mm versions. Fit depends on the end links matching the BB58's case profile, so choose one advertised specifically for the Black Bay 58 with solid, curved end links. A genuine Tudor riveted bracelet is expensive to buy separately; a well-reviewed aftermarket riveted bracelet from other sites delivers a similar look for a fraction of the cost.
What leather strap suits the Black Bay 58?
The BB58's gilt dial accents make warm leathers a natural match. Brown, tan, and cognac calf or suede pick up the gold tones beautifully, and a vintage-finished leather with aged patina suits the watch's retro design. For the navy-dial BB58, darker brown or grey leather looks especially sharp. A 20mm strap with a slight taper keeps proportions right on the 39mm case. Premium leather runs $80–$150; comparable 20mm vintage-style leather from other sites starts around $6, so a small leather rotation is easy to afford.
Does the BB58 work on rubber and NATO straps?
Very well. A 20mm FKM rubber strap turns the BB58 into a relaxed summer diver and shrugs off water and sweat. NATO straps suit its military-diver heritage and add fail-safe security, while the slim case carries the extra fabric height without looking bulky — an advantage over thicker divers. Sailcloth splits the difference with a sporty texture and refined profile. Tudor's own rubber and fabric straps are great but cost $130–$250; equivalent 20mm rubber and nylon from other sites starts around $6–$8.
