The watch
Tudor has been building chronographs for five decades, and the Black Bay Chrono is where that history meets the present. This Tudor Black Bay Chrono "Carbon 26", reference M79377KN-0003, wears a 42mm carbon composite case beneath a crisp white dial, a modern racing chronograph built to be light, tough and impossible to miss.
The case and fixed tachymeter bezel are made as one piece in black carbon composite, a material borrowed from the world of motorsport. Every case carries its own grain, so no two pieces look exactly alike. Against the matte black, the white dial and black counters read instantly, the classic panda layout that has defined the racing chronograph since the 1960s.
The dial keeps things clean: two black sub-counters, a date at 6 o'clock, and Tudor's signature snowflake hands. It is a layout built for legibility first, with the contrast doing all the work.
Driven by an automatic movement, the watch runs on Tudor's Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a COSC-certified chronometer with a column-wheel chronograph, vertical clutch and a 70-hour power reserve. It is water resistant to 200 metres and comes on a hybrid leather and rubber strap with a tyre-tread pattern, a direct nod to the track.
This watch is in unworn, new condition and if offered as a complete set.
