Tudor Black Bay “Gilt Dial” – Reference 79230N (2021, Full Set)

Heritage Narrative

Introduced in 2012, Tudor’s Black Bay series pays homage to the brand’s first Submariner of 1954, marrying vintage cues—big crown, snowflake hands, gilt printing—with modern engineering and COSC‑certified movements. The reference 79230N (“N” for noir) debuted in 2016 as the line’s purest iteration: a black bezel with a red‑triangle zero marker, domed sapphire crystal, and subtly gilt accents that recall mid‑century dive tools. Power comes from Tudor’s in‑house Calibre MT5602, offering 70 hours of power reserve and silicon‑balance anti‑magnetism. This 2021 example remains in excellent condition and arrives as a complete set, including the rivet‑style steel bracelet—an aesthetic nod to Tudor’s vintage folded links.
