The Tudor Black Bay 39 keeps the snowflake hands and broad luminous markers but trades the dive bezel for a smooth, polished surround. It’s the Black Bay for someone who likes that unmistakable dial but wants a watch that sits more quietly beside a shirt cuff.
The steel 79660, introduced in 2023, pairs those familiar details with a five-link bracelet and Tudor’s T-fit clasp; the tool-free adjustment is worth trying if your wrist changes size through the day. The steel-and-gold 79663 brings a warmer, dressier treatment without changing the basic character. Don’t confuse either with the Black Bay Fifty-Eight simply because both measure 39mm: this is the fixed-bezel branch of the family. On the wrist, pay attention to the polished bezel and bracelet—they give this Black Bay more sparkle than its dive-watch siblings.
What owners love
- The five-link bracelet is a big part of why owners enjoy wearing it: it drapes comfortably, and the T-fit clasp lets you adjust the fit without tools as your wrist changes through the day.
- The 39mm case feels well balanced rather than bulky. With no rotating bezel, there’s plenty of dial, but the watch still sits neatly on the wrist.
- Owners like the mix of familiar Black Bay snowflake hands with a smooth bezel and a dressier bracelet. It feels less overtly sporty than the dive models without losing the details that drew them to Tudor.
Common Criticisms
- The polished bezel picks up visible hairline scratches, and its broad, uninterrupted surface makes them easy to notice. Owners who like keeping a watch looking pristine can find that frustrating.
