Description
The TUDOR Black Bay GMT Ref. M79830RB-0010 is a distinctive interpretation of Tudor’s celebrated travel watch, combining the vintage-inspired character of the Black Bay collection with genuine GMT functionality. Presented in a substantial 41mm stainless-steel case, it balances classic tool-watch styling with the versatility of a modern manufacture timepiece.
This particular version is distinguished by its beautiful domed opaline dial. Rather than being pure white, the galvanic finish has a subtle silvery, white-grey tone that changes character under different lighting. Dark surrounds on the hour markers create excellent contrast, while Tudor’s signature Snowflake hands and red GMT hand give the dial a particularly distinctive appearance.
Surrounding the dial is the iconic bidirectional 24-hour bezel with its matt burgundy and blue anodised aluminium insert. The burgundy section represents the daylight hours while the blue section represents nighttime, creating the instantly recognisable colour combination that has become synonymous with the Black Bay GMT.
The GMT complication allows the wearer to keep track of multiple time zones, with the red Snowflake GMT hand completing one rotation every 24 hours. The local hour hand can be adjusted independently, making the watch particularly practical for international travel, while the date display at 3 o’clock adds everyday functionality.
At its heart is the TUDOR Manufacture Calibre MT5652, a COSC-certified self-winding mechanical movement offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The movement features an integrated GMT architecture, silicon balance spring and stop-seconds functionality, combining robust construction with excellent precision and reliability.
The watch is fitted to Tudor’s riveted stainless-steel bracelet with polished and satin finishes, complementing the vintage-inspired character of the Black Bay. A domed sapphire crystal and 200 metres of water resistance complete its substantial professional specifications.
The TUDOR Black Bay GMT Ref. M79830RB-0010 is particularly appealing in this opaline-dial configuration. The combination of the warm white-grey dial, burgundy-and-blue GMT bezel, 41mm steel case and manufacture GMT movement creates a highly distinctive travel watch with a strong blend of vintage character and modern performance.
