This info lifted from here: http://watchesbysjx.com/2018/03/up-c...nd-better.html which has lots of nice photos of the Black Bay 58 the new calibre is in
"More significant than the stylistic features*is the fact that the Black Bay Fifty-Eight is equipped with a brand new calibre, the MT5402. It is not merely one of Tudor’s larger movements with resized base plate, the MT5402 is a whole new calibre that is substantially smaller.
"One of the rare few smaller movements that were recently developed – uncommon since watches have trended larger – the MT5402 is 26mm, or 11.5”’, the same size as the workhorse*ETA 2892. But the MT5402 is thicker at 4.99mm, and as highly spec’ed as Tudor’s larger movements.
"That means the MT5402 has a 70-hour power reserve, non-magnetic silicon hairspring and a free-sprung, adjustable mass balance wheel. It’s also COSC-certified."

Its such a winner because it has lead to this!
Thanks for the info... its a big step forward for Tudor this year.
Wow fantastic. It actually fixes everything I didn't like about the original Black Bay Black. Well except the price... Looking forward to seeing one in real life. Could this knock the Ginault from its perch for me?
Oooo nice, maybe the chance of a thinner North Flag at some point?
Just fantastic. Can’t wait for these appear in ADs.Originally Posted by OliverCD
