Founded in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf in Geneva, Tudor has grown into a genuine watchmaker in its own right, combining accessible pricing with genuine Swiss quality and an increasingly strong design identity. The Black Bay 36 sits at a unique and versatile point in the collection — a compact, elegant take on the Black Bay DNA that wears beautifully on a wide range of wrists and occasions.

The Tudor Black Bay 36, reference M79500, is a nicely executed 36 mm stainless steel watch with a charming blue dial featuring large applied luminescent silver-toned hour markers — round and rectangular at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, with a signature triangle at 12 — and the distinctive Tudor Snowflake hands that collectors know and love. The characteristic "smiley" curved text at 6 o'clock adds a vintage-inspired detail that gives this dial its own quiet personality. The fixed polished bezel keeps the overall look clean and versatile. At its heart beats the Tudor Calibre T600, running at 28,800 vph with a power reserve of 38 hours. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial. Water resistance is rated at 150 metres. This example comes on the Tudor brown leather strap with folding clasp and a aftermarket stainless steel bracelet by Uncle Straps. 

This Black Bay 36 is from 2020, is in near mint condition and comes as a full set.
