Tudor’s Black Bay line is championed by David Beckham and seen across the enthusiast world from Hodinkee to YouTube’s watch community. The no‑date, red‑triangle configuration is a go‑to pick for collectors who want classic diver DNA without the flash.

🕵️ Story

Launched with Tudor’s in‑house caliber, the 79230N refined the Black Bay into a modern classic: balanced proportions, no‑date symmetry, and a bulletproof movement. It’s the daily diver for people who actually wear their watches.

🕵️BST Case File Note — Case #0057

The file on this Black Bay points to a straight-arrow operative: clean bezel, crisp crystal, and the tell-tale red triangle that marks the earliest of Tudor’s in-house moves. No date clutter, no distraction — just the essentials of a tool built to dive, surface, and disappear again into daily wear.

This one checks out. The trail leads back to the mid-2010s launch of the MT5602, when Tudor finally stepped out from the shadow and wrote its own story in steel.
