🔎 Case Notes

The Tudor Black Bay 41 Ref. 79730N represents a slightly different branch of the Black Bay family tree — one that blends Tudor’s dive-watch DNA with a more versatile, everyday-wearable format.

Unlike the gilt-heavy vintage-leaning references, the 79730N carries a cleaner, more modern aesthetic. The black dial and matching black bezel give the watch a sharp, understated presence, while the familiar snowflake hands and bold hour markers keep it unmistakably Tudor.

At 41mm, this Black Bay wears with strong presence but remains balanced enough for daily use. It’s the kind of watch that can move easily from casual wear into more polished settings without feeling out of place.

This example dates to 2021 and is presented in excellent pre-owned condition, showing only minimal signs of careful wear. The dial and sapphire crystal remain clean, and the bracelet presents very well.

The watch includes box, papers, and cards, and is currently sized to fit approximately a 7.5-inch wrist.
