Tudor Black Bay (41mm)

M7941A1A0RU (2023) · M7941A1A0NU · also called Black Bay 41, BB41, Black Bay Master Chronometer

41mm steel, 13.6mm thick, 200m. Manufacture Calibre MT5602-U, COSC + METAS Master Chronometer, 70h. RU = burgundy bezel, NU = black bezel; five-link, three-link or rubber, all with T-fit.

Who it suits: The classic full-size Tudor diver for wrists that want 41mm presence.

Buying pre-owned: Check which bracelet is included (five-link costs more new than three-link); T-fit clasp should click through its positions cleanly. Earlier 79230-series Black Bays are a different, non-METAS generation. Tudor's five-year guarantee needs no registration and is transferable to a new owner while still in cover; Tudor suggests a service roughly every 10 years.

Tudor Black Bay 58 (2026 Master Chronometer)

M7939A1A0NU (2026) · M7939A1A0RU (2025) · also called BB58, Black Bay Fifty-Eight, Black Bay 58 Burgundy

39mm steel, 11.7mm thick, 200m. Manufacture Calibre MT5400-U, COSC + METAS Master Chronometer, 65h. NU = black dial, RU = burgundy dial. Five-link, three-link 'rivet' bracelet or rubber, all with T-fit.

Who it suits: The default 'one Tudor' for most wrists: vintage-sized diver, now thinner and METAS-certified.

Buying pre-owned: The rubber strap is cut to size and comes in three lengths, so check it fits before buying second-hand. Make sure you are buying the 2026 M7939 (11.7mm, MT5400-U, 'Master Chronometer' on dial) and not the older 79030. Tudor's five-year guarantee needs no registration and is transferable to a new owner while still in cover; Tudor suggests a service roughly every 10 years.

79030N (2018) · 79030B (2020) · also called Black Bay Fifty-Eight, BB58 Navy Blue, BB58 Blue

39mm steel, 11.9mm thick, 200m. Manufacture Calibre MT5402, COSC (not Master Chronometer), about 70h. 79030B has a navy blue dial and bezel.

Who it suits: Buyers who want the original enthusiast-favourite BB58, including the only all-blue version, on the pre-owned market.

Buying pre-owned: Discontinued: the old product URLs now redirect to the current Black Bay 58 range. Watches sold 1 Jul 2018 to 31 Dec 2019 had a 3.5-year guarantee and later ones five years, so any example is now likely to be out of cover. Original box, card and riveted bracelet with all links matter. It has no T-fit clasp.

No longer made, so pre-owned is the only way to buy one. See pre-owned Tudor listings →

Questions

Black Bay vs Black Bay 58: what is the difference?

The Black Bay is 41mm and 13.6mm thick and uses the MT5602-U (70h). The 2026 Black Bay 58 is 39mm and 11.7mm thick and uses the MT5400-U (65h). Both are METAS Master Chronometers, waterproof to 200m and use the T-fit clasp. UK list prices start at £3,970 and £3,870 respectively on rubber.

Is Tudor owned by Rolex?

Tudor and Rolex share a founder. 'The Tudor' was registered in 1926 on behalf of Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf, who set up Montres TUDOR SA in 1946. The press usually calls it Rolex's sister brand. Tudor watches are now assembled at its own Manufacture in Le Locle.

Tudor vs Rolex: what do you get with Tudor?

Most Tudors now use Tudor Manufacture calibres, made with its movement maker Kenissi. Many newer models carry METAS Master Chronometer certification. New Tudors sold since 2020 come with a five-year transferable guarantee with no registration needed. Tudor's UK list prices start at £1,870 (1926) and are mostly below £5,000 for steel models.

Which Tudor should I buy first?

For most people it is the Black Bay 58 (from £3,870), a 39mm all-rounder. On a tighter budget, the Royal 30mm (£2,540) and Ranger 36 (£2,750 on fabric) are the cheapest models with Tudor Manufacture calibres. The 1926 (from £1,870) uses a non-Manufacture calibre. Smaller wrists should try the 37mm Black Bay 54 (from £3,490).
