Overview
The Tudor Black Bay 39 (ref. 79660) is a more compact interpretation of the long-running Black Bay family, offering the line's signature diver-inspired aesthetic in a 39 mm stainless steel case. Three dial variants — black, blue, and anthracite — preserve the collection's characteristic depth and versatility. Introduced in 2023, it pairs the refined proportions of mid-century sport watches with Tudor's in-house movement technology.
History
The Black Bay line traces its roots to Tudor's heritage of robust, tool-oriented dive watches, drawing visual cues from references produced from the 1950s onward. Over successive generations, the collection expanded in both scope and case sizing, and the Black Bay 39 represents a deliberate step toward a more wearable diameter without sacrificing the family's defining character. The reference 79660 entered production in 2023, positioning itself as an accessible entry point for collectors who favour a slimmer wrist presence within the Black Bay canon.

- The snowflake hour hand and domed dial crystal are hallmark design details inherited directly from Tudor's vintage dive-watch archive.
