Latest Vintage Piece
Black Bay 36 79503 with uncommon champagne dial. $5,000.00 CAD. 505-00626
Building on the success of the Heritage Black Bay, Tudor introduced a slightly more subtle sporting watch called the Heritage Black Bay 36. It’s a little smaller than the diver version but it appears larger than the 36mm size suggests because it lacks the 60-minute rotating bezel timer.
A brushed finish 18 karat yellow gold fixed bezel replaces the ratcheting timing bezel found on diver Black Bay. The dressier design actually makes for a more distinctive look than the popular yet ubiquitous diver design. Much the same as the Rolex Explorer is to the Submariner, the Black Bay 36 isn’t trying to do much other than be a pure time interpreting tool built of the right stuff. Large luminous hands and hour markers against a glossy and rare champagne dial offer excellent legibility in any situation and a slightly dressier look than the black or silver dial.
Synthetic sapphire crystal, threaded crown/case back, deployment buckle with safety flip lock on a heavy duty solid link stainless steel with 18 karat gold cap bracelet should get the job done under all conditions. I love the brightly polished centre stainless steel section showing great contrast against the brushed finish on the other links.
The distinctive snowflake hour hand, curved text, and connected minute track are Tudor’s obvious nod to the Tudor/Rolex Submariners of the past, after all this is a Heritage model. Gone is the Tudor rose logo found on the original re-issued Black Bay models but curiously Tudor is still using the traditional logo on the threaded crown.
This example is in good condition. Showing evidence of wear in the form of a few small scuffs and scratches. The watch has never been polished or refinished in any way.
It is covered by our 1 year in house Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers warranty. Comes complete with original Tudor packaging, endorsed warranty card, and instructions.
This model has been retired and replaced with the 36mm Black Bay 1 looking pretty much the same watch with a few subtle changes that can be seen on the Tudor website priced at $8,510.00 CAD. This less is more Tudor is estate priced at $5,000.00 CAD. Stock #505-00626.
