Tudor · Family: Black Bay
The Tudor Black Bay Chrono ref. 79360N is the panda-dial version of Tudor's in-house automatic chronograph, featuring a bidirectional tachymeter bezel and the manufacture MT5813 movement co-developed with Breitling. As of July 21, 2026, Cazador does not yet have enough market observations (n < 5) to publish a reliable price range for this reference. Its most distinctive trait: it's one of the few sport-heritage chronographs with a bidirectional, rather than unidirectional, bezel.
Estimated range: €4,954 – €5,155

Tudor unveiled its first in-house automatic chronograph, the Black Bay Chrono ref. 79350, in 2017: a 41 mm case, a fixed steel bezel with the tachymeter scale engraved directly into the metal, and the new MT5813 caliber at the center of the story. That movement didn't emerge in isolation. Tudor and Breitling entered a technical partnership to jointly develop an automatic column-wheel chronograph architecture with a vertical clutch: Breitling built it into its B01 caliber, Tudor into the MT5813, each with its own finishing, decoration, and certification. It's one of the few documented cases in Swiss watchmaking of two manufactures competing in the same segment while sharing the base engineering of the mechanical heart. The 79360N arrived later [UNVERIFIED exact year] as the panda-dial variant: a silver opaline dial with black counters, a direct nod to 1970s chronographs, paired for the first time in the Chrono family with a bidirectional bezel featuring a black aluminum insert and tachymeter scale, replacing the fixed bezel of the original. The choice of a bidirectional bezel — bucking the unidirectional norm of dive watches, designed to prevent a knock from advancing remaining dive time — makes sense here because the tachymeter scale doesn't protect any safety calculation: it's a speed-measuring tool, not an air-management one, so it turns freely in both directions without compromising anything. The result is a sport chronograph with vintage roots, no date window so as not to break the dial's symmetry, an in-house COSC-certified movement, and a power reserve of roughly 70 hours that comfortably beats the category average.
The original 79350 (2017) has a fixed steel bezel with the tachymeter scale engraved into the metal itself. The 79360N adds a panda dial (silver base, black counters) and a rotating bidirectional bezel with a black aluminum tachymeter insert, absent from the original version.
No. Tudor and Breitling jointly developed the base architecture for an automatic column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch, but each brand independently produces, finishes, and certifies its own caliber — the MT5813 at Tudor, the B01 at Breitling.
Cazador doesn't yet have enough verified data (fewer than 5 observations) to publish a reliable range as of July 2026. Don't treat a single listing as market truth; once we have enough volume, this page will show the range and trend.
No. The entire Black Bay Chrono family, including the panda 79360N, skips the date window to preserve the dial's symmetry with the three chronograph counters, a direct nod to 1970s sport chronograph design.
Because the scale is a tachymeter, not a dive-timing scale: it doesn't manage an underwater safety margin, so there's no risk of an accidental turn corrupting a critical reading. That's why Tudor chose a bezel that rotates freely in both directions.
200 meters (660 feet), a generous figure for a sporty dress chronograph and well beyond daily-use requirements, though clearly aimed at versatility rather than technical diving.
It's one of the most well-argued entry points in the segment: an in-house COSC-certified movement with a column wheel, vertical clutch, and roughly 70 hours of power reserve, in a well-executed 41 mm vintage-styled case that doesn't rely on a third-party modular caliber.
