Stainless Steel and 18K Yellow Gold Tudor Black Bay Watch with Diamond Bezel and Diamond Markers
Product Overview
This Tudor Black Bay watch is a sophisticated and luxurious Swiss timepiece combining sport-inspired design with refined finishing touches. This stainless steel and 18K yellow gold Black Bay features a 36 mm round case that balances elegance with everyday versatility. The black dial is richly detailed with diamond hour markers at the 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 o'clock positions, while raised luminescent bar markers sit at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock and a luminescent triangle marks 12 o’clock, ensuring excellent legibility in low light. The hour, minute, and seconds hands are also coated with luminescent material for enhanced visibility.
A stunning diamond-set fixed outer bezel is fully set with round brilliant cut diamonds totaling 1.09 carats, each graded VVS clarity and E–F colour. The bracelet unites polished stainless steel and 18K yellow gold links, enhancing both durability and luxurious appeal. Secured with Tudor’s robust clasp, this watch blends comfort with reliability. Under the hood, this Black Bay model houses Tudor’s in-house Manufacture Calibre MT5400, a self-winding mechanical movement with a bidirectional rotor system that delivers precision timekeeping and typically offers a generous 70-hour power reserve (standard for MT5400 calibres).
The movement meets stringent chronometer standards for accuracy. The watch is topped with a flat sapphire crystal, prized for scratch resistance and clarity. It has a screw down crown with the Tudor rose in relief. Designed for daily wear, it boasts water resistance to 100 metres, making it versatile enough for swimming and surface water activities. The case is stamped #9WA3053 79653.
Founded in 1946 by Hans Wilsdorf, the visionary behind Rolex, Tudor set out to offer high quality Swiss watches with robust performance and distinctive style at accessible prices. Over decades, the brand has built a respected identity rooted in durable tool watches, vintage inspired designs, and modern mechanical excellence. Tudor’s manufacture movements, developed in collaboration with Kenissi, have elevated its reputation for precision and reliability.
The Black Bay Collection launched in 2012 and draws inspiration from Tudor’s historic dive watches of the mid-20th century, blending heritage aesthetics with state-of-the-art technology. While many Black Bay models echo vintage divers with rotating bezels and bold “snowflake” hands, the 36 mm variants lean into a more refined, dress-friendly profile, perfect for those who want the collection’s heritage style in a size suited for everyday wear. The inclusion of diamonds and precious metal elevates this particular model into a luxurious yet versatile statement piece.
