Tudor · Black Bay Pro · 39mm · steel · fixed 24-hour bezel · on Amazon

The Black Bay Pro. Tudor’s Explorer II, with a yellow hand.

The Black Bay Pro is the GMT with a fixed bezel: a 39mm steel case, a satin steel bezel engraved with 24 hours that does not turn, a black domed dial with lumed markers, the snowflake hour hand and a yellow 24-hour hand, a date at three, on the riveted steel bracelet with the T-fit clasp. Inside is the same manufacture MT5652 as the Black Bay GMT, a traveller’s movement whose hour hand jumps independently, a COSC chronometer with about 70 hours of reserve, and the case is rated to 200 metres. It is the watch people cross-shop against a Rolex Explorer II, at a fraction of the price. Sold on Amazon by a marketplace seller, listed under Tudor’s own price when we read it.

Fixed bezel, second time zone

A GMT with a rotating bezel can show three time zones; a GMT with a fixed 24-hour bezel shows two and is simpler to read. The Black Bay Pro takes the second route, like the Rolex Explorer II it obviously answers: the yellow 24-hour hand points at the engraved steel bezel for home time, the snowflake hour hand jumps in one-hour steps for local time, and the date follows. That is the MT5652, with a silicon balance spring, a COSC certificate and about 70 hours of reserve.

At 39mm it is smaller across than the Black Bay GMT but the same 14.6mm tall, so it wears chunkier than its diameter suggests. The riveted bracelet gets Tudor’s T-fit clasp, which the GMT does not, so it can be adjusted without tools.

Reading the listing

The listing carries the full reference, M79470-0001, in the title and the model row, and calls it an automatic with a black dial. The photograph shows the fixed 24-hour bezel, the yellow hand, the snowflake hand, the date at three and the riveted bracelet. The case size, thickness, lug width, calibre, its jumping hour hand, COSC certification, reserve, 200 metres and the T-fit clasp are Tudor’s published figures for the reference.

The seller is Watchsavings, a marketplace seller, and the rows we read do not state whether the watch is new with Tudor’s five-year guarantee; ask, and ask for the box and card. Nothing here was measured on the watch.

Buying it on Amazon

This is a regular Amazon listing from a marketplace seller with Amazon’s 30-day return window; it is not a Luxury Stores pre-owned unit and the seller has not published a condition. The second button opens the live search for Black Bay Pros in case this one has sold.

Black Bays have resold for under new and close to what pre-owned buyers paid, sometimes more, sometimes less; that is a pattern, not a promise, and nothing here is investment advice.

Verdict

The Black Bay Pro with the fixed 24-hour bezel, the yellow GMT hand and the MT5652, on Amazon from a marketplace seller under Tudor’s list price: the Explorer II alternative, with the reference on the listing.

Strengths

  • Fixed steel 24-hour bezel; nothing to knock out of place
  • Manufacture MT5652, COSC, about 70 hours; T-fit clasp
  • Listed under Tudor’s own price when read

Trade-offs

  • 14.6mm thick on a 39mm case; wears tall
  • Only two time zones without a rotating bezel
  • Yellow hand is a look; the GMT’s red is quieter
