Black Bay Chronograph

The Tudor Black Bay Chronograph draws on Tudor’s heritage in both diving and motorsport, blending classic Black Bay design cues with vintage-inspired chronograph details. First introduced in 2017, it sits apart from the core Black Bay line by adding a mechanical chronograph complication, making it a favorite among collectors seeking a sporty, versatile chronograph with real history behind it.

The most sought-after references include the 79350 (original steel bezel), 79360N (panda and reverse panda dials, black ceramic bezel), and limited editions like the “Harrods” green variant. Price differences often come down to dial color, bezel material, and bracelet type—bracelet versions typically command a premium over leather or fabric straps. The in-house MT5813 caliber, developed with Breitling, is a major selling point, offering a column wheel, vertical clutch, and 70-hour power reserve, all of which boost desirability and long-term value.

When shopping, check for full sets (box, papers, extra links), as these add value, especially for earlier references. Early models wear slightly thicker due to their case profile, so wrist presence is a consideration. Water resistance is 200 meters, making the Black Bay Chronograph a true all-rounder. Dial variants have subtle differences in subdial placement and text, so scrutinize photos if you’re after a specific look. Overall, this model is prized for its blend of technical prowess and unmistakable Tudor style.
