The Tudor 79250BA, also known as the Black Bay Bronze, is a distinguished model in Tudor’s heritage-inspired Black Bay collection. Introduced in 2016, the 79250BA stands out with its 43mm bronze case—an alloy of aluminum and bronze—that develops a unique patina over time, giving each watch a distinctive character based on its wearer’s habits and environment. This design choice pays homage to the robust and utilitarian aesthetics of vintage naval dive watches, particularly those used by the French Navy, with which Tudor shares historical ties. The watch features a matte slate-grey dial and bezel, with gold-toned hands and hour markers that contrast beautifully against the dial’s muted tones, reinforcing its vintage-inspired charm.
Beneath the surface, the 79250BA houses Tudor’s in-house caliber MT5601, a COSC-certified chronometer movement offering a 70-hour power reserve and a silicon balance spring for improved magnetic resistance and durability. The large “snowflake” hands—another nod to Tudor’s dive watch legacy—ensure legibility, while the domed sapphire crystal and 200-meter water resistance enhance its rugged credentials. The Black Bay Bronze is not only a technically competent dive watch but also a celebration of Tudor’s tool-watch heritage, blending contemporary engineering with historic design language in a way that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
