Tudor Black Bay Chronograph 79350

Tudor truly leaned into the tool aspect of their Black Bay with this Heritage Chronograph, a 2017 release that showed the world that the Black Bay is far more than a one-trick pony. Whether worn on a bracelet, leather, or nylon strap, the rawness of this Black Bay Chronograph can't help but jump off the wrist; and a significant reason for that is its stainless steel bezel. And yet, despite its fixed tachymeter bezel, large screw-down pushers, as well as the bi-compax chronograph functional, it's abundantly clear it's still a Black Bay. The chunky case, the snowflake hand, the lumed markers, the wrist presence, all the 'BB' hallmarks are here in their vintage esque charm-filled magnificence.

Tudor was established in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, with a vision to create watches that offered the same reliability and precision as Rolex, but at a more accessible price point. Built with robust Swiss movements and housed in Rolex-quality cases, Tudor quickly earned a reputation for producing tool watches trusted by military units and professional divers around the world. In the 1950s and ‘60s, Tudor introduced iconic models like the Oyster Prince Submariner, worn by the French Navy, and carved out a legacy as a maker of rugged, no-nonsense timepieces built to perform under extreme conditions.

In recent years, Tudor has reemerged as one of the most exciting names in modern watchmaking. Collections like the Black Bay, Pelagos, and Ranger pay homage to the brand’s vintage roots while incorporating in-house calibers and contemporary design updates. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight, in particular, has become a collector favorite for its perfect blend of vintage proportions and modern engineering. With a design language all its own and a renewed focus on manufacturing independence, Tudor has established itself as far more than Rolex’s younger sibling—it’s a brand that balances heritage, innovation, and value with serious horological credibility.
