A favorite pair of jeans, a sweatshirt that fits like no other, there are certain things I own that are comfortable and timeless in one. The BYOP Avitimer just joined my stable of such items.

Owner review: Tudor Black Bay 58 925

When I first tried the Tudor Black Bay 58 925 I didn’t like it. Why would one make a waterproof/dive watch with an easily scratching metal and a leather strap? And the taupe dial didn’t pop in the harsh shop lights. But there was something about it that made me take a second look, and…
