The Tudor Black Bay 58 is a modern classic—a watch that perfectly blends vintage dive watch cues with everyday versatility. And one of its best features? How well it takes to a strap change. Whether you're leaning into its old-school charm or nudging it in a more contemporary direction, the right strap can totally transform the look and feel of the BB58.
At WatchGecko, our dedicated Tudor strap collection features a range of designs specially selected to complement watches across the brand’s lineup—including straps tailored for the Black Bay 58 itself.
From heritage-inspired leather to go-anywhere rubber and tough nylon, we’ve pulled together some of our top strap picks that pair beautifully with the proportions, design and character of the Black Bay 58. Each strap on this list has been chosen to complement the BB58’s compact 39mm case, its subtle gilt dial accents, and that matte black backdrop that makes texture and tone pop.
Let’s take a look at the options…
WatchGecko Premium Rubber Watch Strap to fit Tudor Black Bay 58
If you're after a strap that feels like it belongs on the watch, this is the one. This WatchGecko Premium Rubber Watch Strap was designed specifically for the Tudor BB58—right down to its curved ends, which hug the case for a flush, integrated fit that rivals OEM alternatives. It’s sleek, comfortable, and purpose-built for daily wear.
The rubber is soft yet durable, offering that supple, wrist-hugging feel without sacrificing strength. The underside features a textured channel system to aid breathability and reduce sweat build-up, making it a reliable choice for summer wear or high-activity days. Tapered for a refined profile and fitted with a sturdy stainless steel buckle, it gives the BB58 a contemporary edge while still feeling grounded in the watch’s tool-watch heritage. If you're only picking one strap to wear on rotation, this is an exceptionally strong contender.
WatchGecko Ridge British Military Watch Strap
The WatchGecko Ridge Military Nylon Watch Strap keeps the BB58’s military side front and centre. Inspired by classic military nylon designs, the Ridge features a secure double-pass construction and a ribbed weave for added texture and strength.
It’s lightweight and breathable, with robust hardware that matches the BB58’s brushed steel case. Whether you're out hiking or just want a strap that feels easy and dependable, this one gets the job done with style.
OCTOPOD Elasticated Watch Strap
The OCTOPOD Elasticated Watch Strap offers a minimalist, form-fitting alternative to traditional nylon straps. Thanks to its stretchy fabric and slim profile, it wears close to the wrist and keeps the BB58 sitting flat and centred.
Its clean design pairs particularly well with the BB58’s simple dial layout, giving the watch a more contemporary, stripped-back feel. And with six buckle finishes to choose from—including brushed and polished options—it’s easy to match the hardware to your watch case or your preferred aesthetic. Whether you're after all-day comfort, easy adjustability or a lightweight fit that disappears on the wrist, the OCTOPOD has you covered.
Original Vintage Highley Genuine Leather Watch Strap
For those wanting to emphasise the BB58’s heritage, the Original Vintage Highley delivers in both style and substance. With thick padding, vintage stitching and a satisfying taper, it adds weight and warmth to the watch.
This strap softens beautifully with wear, gradually developing a lived-in patina that suits the Black Bay’s aged lume and retro proportions. It’s an easy way to channel classic field watch energy.
Simple Handmade Italian Leather Watch Strap
Our Simple Handmade Watch Strap offers a more refined, low-key take on the BB58. Slim, clean, and handmade in Italy, it tones down the dive watch aesthetic while keeping things sharp and versatile.
It’s well suited to workwear or smarter occasions, thanks to its smooth leather, subtle sheen and minimalist detailing. If you want to dress the BB58 up without losing its charm, this one strikes the right balance.
