Tudor Black Bay Chronograph M79360B-0002 – History

The Tudor Black Bay Chronograph M79360B-0002 is a standout example of Tudor’s reinvigoration of classic dive and sport watch design, blending decades of motorsport and maritime heritage into a modern, high-performance chronograph. Since the Black Bay family was introduced in the early 2010s, it has come to define Tudor’s vision of rugged, vintage-inspired watches with contemporary technology.

The Black Bay Chronograph extends this philosophy into the world of timing instruments by combining the beloved Black Bay silhouette with a thoroughly modern integrated chronograph movement and design cues drawn from Tudor’s historic racing and diving timepieces. This reference, identified by its deep “Burgundy”-accented blue dial and bezel, embodies the brand’s ability to balance aggressive sport-watch functionality with everyday versatility.

The result is a chronograph that feels both rooted in Tudor’s past and unmistakably relevant today — a true tool watch with the aesthetic appeal and mechanical integrity that enthusiasts seek.

Design and Aesthetic

The Black Bay Chronograph M79360B-0002 is built around a 41 mm stainless steel case that reflects Tudor’s signature proportions: bold without being oversized, and ergonomic for daily wear. Its fixed tachymeter bezel — in matte black with crisp markings — reinforces the chronograph’s motorsport character, offering a functional scale for measuring speed.

The blue dial provides a strong visual foundation, with contrasting burgundy accents that nod to Tudor’s heritage color palette. Snowflake hands — a Black Bay hallmark — and applied luminous markers ensure high legibility in all lighting conditions, while the bi-compax subdial layout maintains clean symmetry and practical timing functionality.

A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial, giving the watch a classic profile while guarding against scratches and reflections.
