The Tudor Black Bay Chrono reference 79360N-0024, often referred to by its Flamingo Blue or Tiffany-style dial, is a 41mm luxury sports watch that combines the brand’s diving heritage with high-performance chronometric functions. The timepiece features a 316L stainless steel case with a mix of polished and satin-brushed finishes, measuring approximately 14.4mm in thickness and 50mm from lug to lug. Its most distinguishing characteristic is the turquoise domed dial, which is accented by contrasting black sub-counters and the signature Snowflake hands. The watch is equipped with a fixed stainless steel bezel featuring a matte black anodized aluminum tachymetric scale and is paired with a five-link stainless steel bracelet featuring the T-fit rapid adjustment clasp.
At the heart of this model is the Manufacture Calibre MT5813, a self-winding mechanical movement with a bidirectional rotor system based on the Breitling B01. This COSC-certified movement includes a column wheel and vertical clutch construction, providing enhanced precision and durability. It offers a substantial 70-hour power reserve and utilizes a silicon balance spring to resist magnetic interference. The watch’s complications include a central chronograph seconds hand, a 45-minute counter at the 3 o’clock position, a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, and an instantaneous date window located at 6 o’clock. Designed for versatility, the case is fitted with a screw-down winding crown and pushers, ensuring water resistance up to 200 meters.
General reviews of the reference 79360N-0024 often praise its bold and expressive aesthetic, noting that the turquoise dial provides a fresh, modern alternative to traditional colorways. Enthusiasts frequently highlight the exceptional build quality and the value provided by the high-performance movement, which is typically found in much more expensive timepieces. However, some critics have pointed to the watch’s 14.4mm thickness as a point of contention, suggesting it may feel bulky on smaller wrists. Despite its thickness, many owners report that the ergonomic design and the adjustable five-link bracelet contribute to a comfortable wearing experience, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors seeking a vibrant and robust tool watch.
