Since the launch in 1970 of the Oysterdate model, its first chronograph, Tudor has always produced watches that are closely tied to the world of motor sport. Since 1954, Tudor has likewise been constantly improving its professional divers’ watches. The Black Bay Chrono model combines these traditions in a sports chronograph for purists, with contrasting sub-counters and a high-performance automatic Manufacture Calibre, with column wheel and vertical clutch. After its first release in 2017, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono now returns better and bolder. With the same case size at 41 mm in diameter, the Black Bay Chrono now is equipped with a black fixed 316L steel bezel with black anodized aluminum disc with tachymetric scale.
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono ref. 79360N features a domed dial that is either matte black dial or opaline with contrasting circular sub-counters, "Snowflake" hands and grade A Swiss superluminova on markers and hands. A discreet date window appears at 6 o’clock.
The watch continues to be powered by the in-house automatic calibre MT5813. This Manufacture Chronograph is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute —COSC—, it features a silicon balance spring, a 70-hour power reserve, a column wheel, and a vertical clutch.
The watch is available with a black or a white dial and with a riveted stainless steel bracelet, a black leather bund strap or a black jacquard fabric strap.
Sticker Price $4,900 USD on straps and $5,225 USD on bracelet. For more info on Tudor click here.
