Tudor Black Bay GMT - Reference 79470 - NOS - With Box and Papers Dated June, 2022 - With Strap and Bracelet

A very handsome Tudor M79470-0001 GMT Black Bay in fantastic condition with box and papers. Introduced in 2022, the Tudor Black Bay Pro brought a distinctly purposeful GMT watch to the Black Bay family. Rather than simply adding a second time zone to an existing model, Tudor gave the Pro its own identity, drawing on the practical aesthetic of mid-century exploration and professional tool watches. At 39mm, it also arrived at a particularly appealing size. The fixed 24-hour graduated bezel works in conjunction with the bright yellow GMT hand to display a second time zone, while the independently adjustable local hour hand makes the watch particularly useful for travel. Inside is Tudor’s manufacture calibre MT5652, an automatic COSC-certified movement developed with an integrated GMT function rather than a modular arrangement. It offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and has become one of the defining technical features of the Black Bay Pro. The result is a modern Tudor that deliberately looks back to the golden age of practical exploration watches without attempting to be a reproduction of any one historic model. What’s On Offer Here we have a particularly attractive opportunity: a Tudor Black Bay Pro GMT, reference 79470, dating from June 2022 and presented in new old stock, unworn condition. The 39mm stainless-steel case is paired with the model’s distinctive fixed brushed-steel 24-hour bezel. Its black dial has Tudor’s familiar luminous hour markers, including the large triangular marker at 12, together with the characteristic snowflake hour hand and prominent yellow snowflake GMT hand. A date aperture sits neatly at 3 o’clock. It is an exceptionally legible arrangement, with the yellow GMT hand providing just enough colour against the otherwise monochromatic tool-watch design. The dial is signed Tudor Genève, Automatic, Chronometer Officially Certified and carries the 200m:660ft depth rating. The watch is fitted with its black hybrid rubber and fabric strap with contrasting stitching and Tudor folding clasp, while importantly, the original stainless-steel bracelet is also included and remains protected, as shown in the photographs. The screw-down Tudor-signed crown, sapphire crystal and 200-metre water resistance complete what is very much a modern professional specification. Being new old stock and unworn makes this example especially appealing. It comes as a comprehensive set with its original Tudor inner and outer boxes, papers dated 9 June 2022, booklets, bracelet and strap. Powering the watch is Tudor’s automatic calibre MT5652, a 26-jewel COSC-certified manufacture movement with approximately 70 hours of power reserve. Measuring 39mm across, approximately 48mm lug-to-lug and with a 20mm lug width, it has the substantial presence expected of a Black Bay while remaining a very wearable size. For anyone who has been considering a Black Bay Pro, finding an unworn 2022 example complete with both strap and bracelet, box and papers makes this a particularly tempting package.
