The Tudor Black Bay line-up was inspired by the Tudor divers’ watches produced during the 1950s. The Reference m79540-0009 inherits this long tradition, possessing elements such as the highly visible “snowflake-shaped” hands, even on the seconds hand with luminescent coating on its white matte texture. With the large luminescent hour markers, the Tudor reference m79540-0009 has exceptional ability to be visible at night, or under the sea, when diving. Not only do the snow-flake hands give the Black Bay a beautiful design and overall stunning appeal, but the large space for luminescent coating gives the diver much more visibility of the hands, when you need it most.
The Reference m79540-0009 has a large luminescent triangle at the 12 o’clock position, luminescent rectangles at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions and large luminescent circular markers at the other hour positions. The hands and hour markers are surrounded by a powerful and long-lasting steel outline to protect against tarnishing or bleeding.
The reference m79540-0009 has a superb black dial which looks stellar against the white and steel hands and hour markers. The bezel is polished steel and adds a sophisticated simplicity to the timepiece. It has a black fabric strap which feels soft against the wrist. The bracelet has a folding clasp and safety catch. Collectors and horologists continue to admire the functional and durable design of the Tudor Black Bay, since it was introduced at the 2017 Baselworld.
The Tudor Black Bay Reference m79540-0009 is powered by a caliber 2824 self-winding mechanical movement with a 38-hour power reserve. The large wind down crown and sapphire crystal are designed to provide a waterproofness to a depth of 500 feet. The classic black dial, and polished steel gives the timepiece an elegant, yet sporty look. The Black Bay reference m79540-0009 will look splendid at a black-tie affair, while still fitting in easily with other activities like boating, diving or beach-dwelling.
