Bill's initial impressions of the Tudor Black Bay 925 silver reference 79010SG highlight its unique aesthetic and potential as a significant gift. His post sparked a discussion among collectors regarding its market availability and how it compares to other popular Tudor references. This article synthesizes the community's perspective on this distinctive timepiece.

The Tudor Black Bay 925, reference 79010SG, represents a distinctive offering within the Black Bay collection, notable for its use of 925 silver for the case material. This choice sets it apart from the more common stainless steel or bronze variants, providing a unique aesthetic and tactile experience. It maintains the core design language of the Black Bay line, including the characteristic 'snowflake' hands and large winding crown, while introducing a new material dimension.
This model features a 39mm case crafted from 925 silver, paired with an open case back that reveals the manufacture Calibre MT5400. The movement is a self-winding mechanical movement with a bidirectional rotor system, certified as a chronometer by the COSC. It offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The watch is fitted with a taupe dial and a unidirectional rotating bezel with an anodized aluminum insert in a matching taupe color.
The 79010SG holds a particular appeal for collectors interested in material innovation within traditional watchmaking. Its silver case develops a unique patina over time, offering a personalized character that evolves with wear. The combination of a precious metal with a tool-watch aesthetic provides a compelling contrast, making it a notable piece for those seeking a Black Bay with a distinct identity.
These Tudors are hard to get from the AD’s but are available at a premium in the wild. I have a feeling they may be limiting the supply.
I'd be tempted too if I didn't already have the original BB58. We can only have one watch of each model, right? ;-)
Matches your arm hair too!
Tempting to get one of these even though I have the Blue.. -D-
Super on many levels. Bravo, Tudor!!!
Good size on your wrist Bill. Enjoy whilst you have it. Great graduation gift. M.
