Overview

The Tudor Black Bay 31 ref. 79600 brings the celebrated Black Bay design language to a 31 mm stainless steel case, broadening the collection's reach without compromising its sport-watch character. Introduced in 2023, it is powered by Tudor's in-house Cal. MT5201, ensuring the same movement credentials found across the wider Black Bay family. Dial options in black, blue, and champagne give the reference a versatile palette suited to a range of wearing contexts.

History

The Black Bay collection was established by Tudor as a modern reinterpretation of its mid-twentieth-century dive-watch heritage, drawing on archival case shapes, crown guards, and dial details that defined the brand's tool-watch era. Over successive years the line expanded considerably, with Tudor introducing varied case sizes to serve a broader spectrum of wrist sizes and collector preferences. The ref. 79600 represents the most recent step in that expansion, arriving in 2023 as the smallest-cased Black Bay to date and marking Tudor's commitment to equipping the 31 mm format with a fully in-house movement.

Notable points

At 31 mm, the ref. 79600 is among the most compact expressions of the Black Bay line, retaining the collection's signature snowflake hands and domed crystal.
The Cal. MT5201 is an in-house Tudor movement, reflecting the brand's broader push toward manufacture calibres across its sport-watch range.
Three dial variants — black, blue, and champagne — allow the reference to read as either a classic sport watch or a more dressy everyday piece.
The stainless steel case follows the Black Bay's established aesthetic, including the characteristic satin-and-polish finishing and screw-down crown.
Introduced in 2023, the 79600 is a current-production reference, meaning it benefits from Tudor's contemporary quality standards and warranty support.
