Case #376 — Tudor Black Bay S&G Ref. 79733N

Status: Active Investigation
Condition: Very Good Pre-Owned
Scope: Box, Papers, and Cards
Year: 2019

🔎 Case Notes

The Tudor Black Bay S&G Ref. 79733N takes the familiar Black Bay formula and gives it a warmer, more elevated presence through its steel-and-gold execution. At 41mm, it has the same strong wrist presence and dive-watch character that define the line, but the black dial, gilt-toned accents, and yellow-gold bezel treatment give it a richer look than the standard steel variants. The result is a watch that still feels rugged and purposeful, but with a more polished, dress-capable edge.

What makes this reference especially appealing is the balance it strikes. It keeps the core Black Bay ingredients intact — domed dial, strong case profile, vintage-influenced detailing, and 200 meters of water resistance — while adding a two-tone presentation that gives the watch more visual character on the wrist. Inside is Tudor’s MT5612 COSC movement with approximately 70 hours of power reserve, giving the watch real mechanical substance behind the styling.

This example dates to 2019 and is presented in very good pre-owned condition. Overall, it shows light wear consistent with normal careful use. It includes box, papers, and cards, is fitted on a leather strap, and is currently sized to fit approximately a 7.75-inch wrist. It also comes with an Uncle Seiko Oyster bracelet, which adds useful versatility to the package.

🌊 Diving Heritage

The Black Bay line draws from Tudor’s mid-century dive-watch history, but the S&G version adds a different tone to that formula. Rather than leaning purely tool-watch, it brings a slightly more refined character to the same vintage-rooted design language. That combination is part of what makes the Black Bay S&G stand apart within the family: it still feels every bit like a Black Bay, but with a more versatile, dress-friendly side.

The two-tone construction also gives the watch a different wrist presence than the standard steel references. The warmth of the gold accents plays especially well against the black dial and black bezel, making this one of the stronger black-dial configurations in the broader Black Bay range.

🌟 Collector Provenance

The appeal here is rooted in presentation and flexibility. The steel-and-gold execution gives the watch a noticeably different personality than a standard Black Bay, while the leather strap keeps the overall look a bit leaner and more vintage in feel. The included Uncle Seiko Oyster bracelet adds another layer of usability, giving the next owner two distinct ways to wear the watch.

Examples that include box, papers, and cards remain the strongest overall presentation, and a 2019 example in very good pre-owned condition sits in a very attractive lane for a buyer who wants a Black Bay with more warmth and versatility than the usual steel-only route.

🌟 Celebrity Provenance

I did not find a well-documented public sighting of this exact Black Bay S&G reference on a celebrity. For the broader family, David Beckham has publicly worn other Black Bay models, including two-tone and blue Black Bay variants, which reinforces how visible the Black Bay line has become in Tudor’s modern identity.

🧾 From the Case File

“Recovered as a 2019 Tudor Black Bay S&G Ref. 79733N. Box, papers, and cards. Very good pre-owned condition overall. Fitted on leather strap and sized to approximately a 7.75-inch wrist. Includes an Uncle Seiko Oyster bracelet.”

🗝️ BST Verdict

Case #376 delivers a more elevated take on the Black Bay formula without losing the model’s core strength. With its steel-and-gold execution, full set presentation, leather strap, extra bracelet, and strong overall presence, this is a very attractive example of the Black Bay S&G.
