Tudor Black Bay Pro M79470-0001

The Tudor Black Bay Pro M79470-0001 is the traveler's GMT execution within the Black Bay family, with a 39mm steel case, a fixed 24-hour scale bezel and a black dial with a snowflake hand and yellow GMT indicator. It runs the in-house Calibre MT5652, with roughly 70 hours of power reserve and a silicon balance spring. Cazador has no verified price observations yet. Its standout detail: local time jumps in full-hour increments independently, letting you adjust time zones without stopping the seconds hand or the date.

History

The Black Bay Pro arrived in 2022 as the third GMT path within the Black Bay family, alongside the two-tone bidirectional-bezel Black Bay GMT introduced in 2018. Unlike that model, the Black Bay Pro opts for a fixed bezel with a 24-hour scale — an aesthetic and functional choice closer to mid-20th-century exploration watches and navigation instruments than to the pilot-watch tradition of a rotating bezel.

The 39mm brushed-and-polished steel case features a screw-down crown with an embossed Tudor rose and 200 meters of water resistance, a figure fitting a versatile tool watch. The black dial pairs aged-beige monobloc ceramic indices with the signature 'snowflake' minute hand, a hallmark of the Black Bay line since its 2012 launch, here also rendered in beige. The bright yellow GMT hand supplies the chromatic contrast that sets this reference apart within the family.

At its core sits the in-house Calibre MT5652, with 28 jewels, a 28,800-vibrations-per-hour frequency and roughly 70 hours of power reserve thanks to its silicon balance spring, a non-magnetic material stable against temperature swings. The GMT function on this caliber is a 'jumping local hour' type: the hour hand can be advanced or set back in full-hour increments via the crown, without stopping the seconds hand or desynchronizing the date, while the 24-hour hand independently keeps track of a reference time zone.

Reference M79470-0001 corresponds to the steel-bracelet-with-folding-clasp execution; Tudor also offers the same case and dial on a fabric strap with a yellow stripe and on a hybrid rubber-and-fabric strap, both with a buckle. Within Cazador's catalog, the Black Bay Pro joins the family's other GMT and three-hand variants already covered, adding depth to one of Tudor's most established lines of the past decade.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Tudor Black Bay Pro cost secondhand?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference yet (n=0 as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.

How does it differ from the Black Bay GMT?

The Black Bay GMT (2018) has a two-tone bidirectional bezel with a 24-hour scale; the Black Bay Pro (2022) uses a fixed bezel, an approach closer to an exploration watch than a pilot's watch.

What does 'jumping' local time mean?

The hour hand can be advanced or set back in full-hour increments via the crown, without stopping the seconds hand or moving the date — useful for changing time zones while traveling.

What power reserve does the Calibre MT5652 offer?

Roughly 70 hours, helped in part by its silicon balance spring, a non-magnetic material more stable against temperature changes than traditional steel.

What is Tudor's 'snowflake' hand?

The truncated-triangle-shaped minute hand Tudor introduced on its military dive watches in the 1970s and revived on the Black Bay since 2012 as the line's signature feature.

Is the Black Bay Pro water resistant?

To 200 meters, a figure fitting a versatile tool watch, though its main purpose is as a GMT traveler's watch rather than a dedicated dive instrument.

What straps is the M79470-0001 available on?

On a steel bracelet (this reference), a fabric strap with a yellow stripe, or a hybrid rubber-and-fabric strap, all with a folding buckle.
