Item Description

This watch is a fantastic find, offered in used condition and accompanied by its original genuine Tudor dark blue NATO strap. The strap's rounded end and buckle holes show signs of use, but the strap is generally in a presentable condition. The watch case is in good condition with minor hairline scratches only; the lume pip on the bezel is blemished, but this does not detract from the watch's overall appeal.

This timepiece is presented with the box, booklets and the warranty card, dated Jan 2022. With two years of Tudor's five-year transferable guarantee remaining active, prospective buyers can purchase with complete confidence.

Model Description

The Tudor Black Bay Blue (reference 79230B) exemplifies a timeless dive-watch design with a contemporary twist. Encased in a 41mm stainless steel case, the watch features a striking unidirectional rotatable bezel with a blue aluminium insert, complementing its rich black dial for a cohesive and elegant look. The domed sapphire crystal maintains a vintage-inspired aesthetic.

Powering the Black Bay Blue is the MT5602, a COSC-certified automatic movement designed and manufactured by Tudor. Renowned for its reliability and performance, the MT5602 features a silicon hairspring and a robust construction that ensures excellent resistance to magnetic fields and shocks. With an impressive 70-hour power reserve, the watch offers practical convenience for everyday use.

Rated to a water resistance of 200 meters, the Tudor Black Bay Blue is a true dive watch, seamlessly blending heritage-inspired design with modern technical advancements.

The Identity

The Black Bay

The identity of the Tudor Black Bay collection is rooted in its homage to vintage dive watches, blending robust performance with timeless aesthetics. Introduced in 2012, the modern Black Bay collection draws inspiration from Tudor’s iconic mid-20th-century divers, and stepped out of the shadow of the Rolex Submariner. Featuring bold design elements like domed dials, snowflake hands, and unidirectional bezels, the Black Bay embodies a perfect mix of tradition and innovation. Enhanced by modern in-house movements and diverse iterations, it has become a cornerstone of Tudor's success, appealing to both collectors and adventurers.

The Strap

Blue Tudor Fabric

Tudor’s Nato straps, with their lightweight and breathable construction, ensures comfort during underwater activities. The robust weave, created using traditional techniques by Julien Faure, provides exceptional strength and durability. Designed for practicality, these straps securely hold the watch even in challenging aquatic conditions, enhancing safety during dives. Their water-resistant nature and quick-drying properties make them ideal companions for both professional divers and recreational water enthusiasts. Handcrafted on 19th-century jacquard looms, Tudor's Nato straps seamlessly blending function with the Black Bay's adventurous aesthetic.
