Tudor Black Bay Chrono 41mm Steel – Blue Boutique Edition 79360B BLUE STEEL

Tudor’s Black Bay Chrono 41mm Steel Blue Boutique Edition, reference 79360B, presents a refined execution of the brand’s tool watch heritage with a contemporary aesthetic. The 41mm stainless steel case features a combination of polished and satin-brushed finishes, housing a fixed blue bezel with a tachymeter scale. The blue dial maintains the Black Bay’s characteristic snowflake hands, ensuring optimal legibility, while the applied indices and chronograph sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock provide substantial depth. This Boutique Edition is distinguished by its all-blue color scheme, delivered on a solid-link stainless steel bracelet with polished center links and the Tudor “T-fit” clasp for rapid, tool-free adjustment. The overall construction is meticulous, with a screw-down crown and pushers guaranteeing 200 meters of water resistance.

The watch is powered by the Tudor Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a self-winding chronograph movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch. This movement architecture is exceptional for its category, providing precise chronograph start-up and smooth operation of the central seconds hand without stuttering. The Calibre MT5813 offers a 70-hour power reserve and is certified as a chronometer by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), ensuring exemplary timekeeping performance. The chronograph complication includes a 45-minute counter and a running seconds sub-dial, providing practical functionality beyond simple time-telling. The rotor is tungsten monobloc and features a sand-blasted finish with laser decorations, visible through the sapphire crystal case back.

This specific example is in mint condition, showing no visible signs of wear, and is accompanied by its warranty card. The Black Bay Chrono Blue Boutique Edition holds a strong position in the modern Tudor collection, representing a more exclusive configuration typically available only through Tudor Boutiques. Its cohesive design, robust in-house movement, and limited distribution contribute to its collectibility. For a buyer seeking a modern sports chronograph from a historically significant brand, this watch represents a compelling proposition that balances technical capability with a distinguished aesthetic, backed by Tudor’s reputation for reliability and value retention in the pre-owned market.
