Tudor Black Bay GMT automatic 41 mm Full Set 2024

Black Bay GMT, the Spirit of Travel According to Tudor

Since its launch in 2018, the Black Bay GMT has established itself as one of the most popular references in Tudor’s catalogue. Inspired by watches designed for travelers and professionals operating across multiple time zones, it combines the robustness of a true tool watch with the neo-vintage aesthetic that has made the Black Bay collection so successful.

Faithful to the DNA of the Geneva-based manufacture, the Black Bay GMT draws inspiration from several decades of watchmaking history. Its design features the iconic “Snowflake” hands introduced on Tudor dive watches in the late 1960s, while its bidirectional 24-hour graduated bezel allows the simultaneous display of multiple time zones, a function particularly appreciated by international travelers.

Over the years, the Black Bay GMT has become one of Tudor’s most emblematic timepieces. It appeals equally through its versatility, high level of finishing, and technical performance, offering a modern alternative to the great Swiss GMT watches while retaining a distinctive identity that is immediately recognizable.

A Highly Sought-After Black Bay GMT with an Opaline Dial

This Tudor Black Bay GMT reference M79830RB-0010 immediately stands out thanks to its stunning opaline dial, a configuration that has become particularly sought after among collectors and enthusiasts of the collection. Paired with the famous blue and burgundy two-tone bezel, this light-colored dial gives the watch a unique personality, enhancing legibility while providing a brighter and more contemporary presence than the traditional black dial version.

Its 41 mm stainless-steel case incorporates the signature design elements of the Black Bay collection, with satin-brushed case sides, sharply defined lugs, and a large screw-down crown adorned with the Tudor rose. Water-resistant to 200 meters, it retains all the robustness of a genuine tool watch while offering excellent everyday comfort thanks to its balanced proportions.

Designed with travelers in mind, the Black Bay GMT features a red-tipped GMT hand that enables the simultaneous display of multiple time zones. Combined with the bidirectional 24-hour bezel, this complication makes it easy to track local time, a second time zone, or even a third time zone while traveling internationally.

At the heart of this reference beats the manufacture Calibre MT5652-U, an automatic movement certified as a Master Chronometer by METAS, meeting particularly demanding standards for precision, magnetic resistance, and overall performance. Equipped with a silicon balance spring and offering a comfortable power reserve of approximately 65 hours, it perfectly illustrates Tudor’s significant technical evolution in recent years.

Fitted with its three-link stainless-steel bracelet inspired by the brand’s historic riveted bracelets, this Black Bay GMT Opaline successfully combines vintage heritage, modern functionality, and first-class chronometric performance. A particularly appealing travel watch that has become one of the most sought-after references within the Black Bay collection.
