Case #328 — Tudor Black Bay 41 Black on Leather Ref. 79230N
Status: Active Investigation
Condition: Excellent Pre-Owned
Scope: Box, Papers, and Cards
Year: 2021
The Tudor Black Bay 41 Ref. 79230N is one of the cleanest and most versatile expressions of the Black Bay family — delivering Tudor’s unmistakable dive-watch DNA in a slightly more stripped-back, everyday-friendly format.
Unlike the smaller Fifty-Eight references or the more overtly sport-driven GMT and Chronograph models, the Black Bay 41 offers a broader, more substantial wrist presence while keeping the core design language collectors love: black dial, snowflake hands, domed crystal, and classic dive-watch proportions.
This example is paired on leather, which gives the watch a warmer, more versatile character than bracelet-mounted versions. It softens the tool-watch edge just enough to make it equally at home with denim, a sweater, or a jacket — without losing the Black Bay’s rugged identity.
This watch dates to 2021 and is presented in excellent pre-owned condition, showing only light signs of careful wear. The dial and crystal remain clean, and the case presents very well.
It includes box, papers, and cards, making it a clean, collector-friendly set.

The Black Bay line helped define Tudor’s modern identity by reintroducing the brand’s vintage-inspired dive-watch design language to a new generation of collectors.
The 41mm Black Bay remains especially appealing for those who want:
On leather, it takes on a slightly more relaxed and wearable personality while still staying unmistakably Tudor.
Examples in excellent condition with box, papers, and cards, especially from more recent years like 2021, continue to hold strong appeal.
Leather-strap Black Bays are also particularly attractive to collectors who want a slightly more casual, less expected configuration than the standard steel-bracelet setup.
Tudor watches have become increasingly visible among athletes, actors, and collectors who appreciate the brand’s combination of heritage design, strong value, and modern reliability.
