Tudor Black Bay Ref. 79230R
$3,200Pre-Owned Tudor 41mm Black Bay Red, Black Dial, Brown Leather Strap, Ref 79230R-0011
The Black Bay draws its most characteristic features from past models in the brand’s history. Its general lines, domed dial and crystal were inspired by the first TUDOR diving watches. It features the particularly prominent winding crown from the famous 7924 reference of 1958, aka the Big Crown, while its characteristic angular hands, known as “Snowflake”, were borrowed from the TUDOR watches used by the French National Navy in the 1970s.
In 2015, TUDOR announced its first Manufacture caliber in its history. A high-performance movement of excellent precision and proven robustness, the TUDOR MT5602 Manufacture caliber offers a 70-hour power reserve, meaning that its wearer can take off the watch on Friday evening and put it on again on Monday morning without having to wind it. Since its origin, the Black Bay laid down the aesthetic and technical foundations of an ideal divers’ watch, those of an understated, functional and reliable tool.
