Reference Guide
Bruno.M1's insightful post revisits the Tudor 79360DK, better known as the Black Bay Chrono Dark, a limited-edition timepiece that continues to captivate collectors. His detailed overview highlights the watch's unique aesthetic and technical specifications, underscoring its enduring appeal within the luxury watch community. This article explores why this specific reference remains a standout, years after its initial release.
The Tudor 79360DK, better known as the Black Bay Chrono Dark, is a stealthy, limited-edition chronograph from Tudor. It was created to honor the brand’s partnership with New Zealand’s All Blacks around the time of the Rugby World Cup 2019. Production was limited to one piece for every All Blacks player capped at the time, making it relatively rare and appealing to collectors.
The watch features a 41mm stainless steel case coated in matte black PVD, matched with a black PVD bracelet for a fully monochrome look. A fixed tachymeter bezel with a black anodized aluminum insert reinforces its sporty character. The dial is domed and black, with luminous snowflake hands, bold hour markers, two sub-dials, and a date at 6 o’clock.
Inside is Tudor’s in-house MT5813 automatic chronograph movement, COSC-certified, with a 70-hour power reserve, column wheel, and vertical clutch. It also offers 200 meters of water resistance.
1181 pieces made when it was introduced so imo a very limited production for a rather big brand
Strange they’re still so affordable compared to those girlie flamingo pieces
Thanks for the pictures and the background. All the best, Jon
