At WatchGecko, we love crafting high-quality, durable watch straps that perfectly complement a wide range of timepieces. That’s especially true when it comes to a watch as versatile and customisable as the Tudor Black Bay 58. Available in five distinct colourways—Bronze, Gold, Silver, Navy Blue, and Black—the BB58 offers something truly personal for every watch lover. And just like Tudor, we believe your strap should be just as adaptable, ready to match your style and mood.
A quick dive into the Black Bay 58 itself: its name nods to 1958, the year Tudor launched its first-ever divers’ watch—the legendary reference 7924, famously known as the “Big Crown,” rated waterproof to 200 metres (660ft). Today’s BB58 pays respectful homage to that classic, blending vintage charm with modern reliability.
With a sleek 39mm case, the BB58 stays true to its 1950s roots—ideal for slimmer wrists, fans of compact watches, and vintage enthusiasts alike.
So, if you’re feeling that vintage vibe, the big question becomes: which of our leather straps will elevate your Tudor Black Bay 58 with style and seamless flair? While we offer a full collection of straps curated specifically for Tudor models, these leather options are our top picks for bringing out the best in the BB58.
Original Vintage Highley Genuine Leather Watch Strap
There’s a reason the Vintage Highley is our bestselling leather strap — and it’s not just down to looks. Made from thick, high-quality pull-up leather with a padded profile and sturdy stitching, it offers durability and comfort in equal measure. The subtly distressed finish pairs effortlessly with the tool-watch heritage of the Black Bay 58, while the slightly curved, semi-tapered shape keeps things refined on the wrist. It's a strap that can handle everyday wear but still dresses up nicely when needed — a perfect fit for a watch as versatile as the BB58.
Simple Handmade Italian Leather Watch Strap
If you're after something understated but beautifully made, the Simple Handmade Italian Leather strap delivers in spades. Crafted from vegetable-tanned Italian leather with a clean, unpadded profile, it gives the Black Bay 58 a more refined, vintage-adjacent look without losing its everyday charm. The hand-painted edges and single line of stitching keep things minimal, letting the watch take centre stage while still adding just enough detail to feel considered. It's a great choice if you want to slim down the silhouette on the wrist and let the BB58’s classic proportions really shine.
WatchGecko Genuine Leather British Military Watch Strap: Cambridge
The BB58 is a dive watch with real military roots, so it’s only fitting to pair it with a strap that nods to that heritage. The Cambridge leather military strap offers a classic single-pass design with a rugged twist — genuine leather with a lightly distressed finish and raw-cut edges for that worn-in, field-ready look. It wears flatter than a two-piece, bringing the BB58 snug to the wrist while keeping things lightweight and secure. Ideal if you're after a vintage military aesthetic without compromising on comfort or quality.
Camden Hand-Stitched Genuine Leather Watch Strap
The Camden is all about character. With its hand-stitched details, subtly grained leather, and lightly waxed finish, it brings a touch of craftsmanship to the BB58 without going overboard. It’s got a slightly more casual feel than some of our dressier leather options, but that’s exactly why it works so well with the Black Bay — it complements the watch’s utilitarian roots while still offering a refined, broken-in look. If you're aiming for something that sits between everyday and elevated, the Camden hits that sweet spot.
Vintage Cavallo Horse Leather Watch Strap
If you’re after old-school charm with serious patina potential, the Vintage Cavallo is a natural choice for the BB58. Made from genuine horse leather, it has a firmer, more structured feel compared to calfskin, giving it a distinctive vintage edge that plays beautifully against the retro cues of the Black Bay. The surface is rich with natural grain and variation, meaning it’ll develop a unique wear pattern over time — much like a well-loved dive watch. For those who like their gear to age gracefully, this is a strap that tells a story.
