2023 Tudor Black Bay 39 79660 $3,600.00 CAD. 505-00514

The Black Bay series of Tudor watches was introduced in 2012 as a one model retro style divers watch in stainless steel on a leather strap or single style bracelet. Over the years the super sporty divers look has expanded to include dual-time, calendar, chronograph equipped watches made from stainless steel, bronze, sterling silver, luxurious 18 karat gold, and some are even set with diamonds. The case sizes range from a smaller 31mm ladies to a very large 43mm diameter. Bracelet and strap choices have expanded with different designs, colours, and materials. The Black Bay series is now almost completely comprehensive and could almost serve as the only series in the entire Tudor line up. Our latest estate Tudor is this Black Bay One 39 from 2023 in stainless steel. It represents a dressier style within the sporting range. A simple smooth bezel frames the silver sunburst dial with just 3 hands. The basic layout is all about function, no extra information, not even a calendar, just oversized hands and bright luminous hour markers. The tone on tone colour scheme works great with the casual nature of the watch. A Rolex inspired Jubilee style bracelet results in a dressy style but tough enough to handle anything you throw at it. In addition to 5 removable links, the flip lock equipped buckle features a 6 position micro adjustment for the perfect fit. I wish Rolex used a buckle like this on their watches. A threaded crown, case back, and friction fit sapphire crystal allow this watch a water resistance rating of  200 meters, twice that of the standard Rolex Oyster. Beating inside the watertight case is an inhouse manufactured MT5602 automatic winding chronometer movement. This movement was introduced by Tudor in 2015 and has been shown to be extremely reliable and accurate. The 25 jewel mechanism features a long 70 hours of power reserve and non magnetic silicon hairspring. There are not many watches on the market with these credentials at this price point. For a luxury watch, Tudor make a very compelling case as an outstanding value if you’re considering buying a new one and is an absolute no brainer on the secondary market for a discount compared to retail pricing retail. Our watch is in hardly worn condition showing almost no evidence of use, mostly just light scuffs on the polished sections of the buckle. It remains in 100% original condition and has never been polished or refinished. It was purchased in Canada at an authorized Tudor agent and comes complete with all of its original packaging, documentation and even the original bill of sale. This watch is a current model and can be seen on the Tudor website where it carries a price of $5,220.00 CAD. Including the balance of the 5 year factory warranty (expiring July 2028) our Tudor Black Bay One 39 79660 is estate priced at $3,600.00 CAD. Stock #505-00514.
