Price:
$3,697.00 USD

🧭 Character
The Tudor Black Bay GMT S&G — better known to collectors as the “Root Beer” — blends vintage travel-watch charm with modern Tudor robustness. Its warm steel-and-gold palette recalls the two-tone GMT-Masters of the 1970s, while the in-house MT5652 movement with true GMT function keeps it firmly in the modern era.

At 41mm, the 79833MN wears with presence but stays balanced, thanks to the vintage-inspired case profile and chamfered lugs. The brown and black bi-directional bezel, paired with gilt dial accents, delivers a look that’s as comfortable on a yacht deck as it is boarding an intercontinental flight.

This example is offered in good pre-owned condition with its complete original kit — a package that offers both collector confidence and immediate wearability.
