Common questions about the Tudor Black Bay 79540

How big is the Tudor Black Bay 79540?

The case measures 41mm across, with a 22mm lug width. Case material: Steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Is the 79540 water resistant?

It is rated to 150 meters, about 492 feet. That is enough for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

When was the Tudor Black Bay 79540 made?

Tudor produced this reference from 2017 to the present day. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

Does the 79540 have a nickname?

Black Bay 41. Collector nicknames are not official Tudor names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
