Tudor Black Bay Chrono
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Ref. 79360N is a masterful fusion of two pillars of Tudor’s heritage: professional diving watches and high-performance chronographs. Introduced as part of the Black Bay family, this reference delivers a purposeful, motorsport-inspired chronograph wrapped in the unmistakable design language that has defined Tudor’s modern resurgence. With its 41 mm stainless steel case, screw-down pushers, and robust proportions, the Black Bay Chrono feels immediately familiar yet confidently contemporary.
The matte black dial is clean, balanced, and highly legible, punctuated by contrasting silver sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock in a classic “panda” layout. Snowflake hands—an unmistakable Tudor signature—provide excellent readability, while applied luminous hour markers ensure visibility in all conditions. A date aperture at 6 o’clock is subtly integrated, preserving symmetry without compromising practicality. Surrounding the dial is a fixed black anodized aluminum tachymeter bezel, underscoring the watch’s motorsport roots while adding visual sharpness.
At its heart is the manufacture Calibre MT5813, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph movement developed in collaboration with Breitling. Featuring a column wheel, vertical clutch, and a generous 70-hour power reserve, this movement delivers smooth chronograph engagement, exceptional accuracy, and modern reliability. The solid screw-down caseback reinforces the watch’s tool-watch intent, while a 200-meter water resistance rating places it firmly in professional territory—an uncommon but welcome specification for a chronograph.
Finished with a brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet, the Black Bay Chrono 79360N offers versatility that transitions seamlessly from daily wear to weekend sport use. It stands as one of the most compelling chronographs in its class, admired for its build quality, technical pedigree, and timeless design. For collectors seeking a modern chronograph with true tool-watch credibility and enduring appeal, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono Ref. 79360N remains a benchmark choice.
