Sell Your Tudor Black Bay in London

About the Tudor Black Bay

Launched in 2012, the Black Bay drew on Tudor's 1950s–70s dive history. The line grew to include the slimmer 39mm Black Bay 58, GMT and chronograph versions, and moved to Tudor's own COSC-certified movements.

Black Bay references and generations

Key references and variants we regularly assess:

• Reference 79230 — early Black Bay with in-house MT5602
• Reference 79030 — Black Bay 58 (39mm)
• Black Bay GMT ('Pepsi') and Chrono variants
• Burgundy, blue and black bezel colourways
• ETA-powered early Black Bays with smiley dials

Movements and calibres

Modern Black Bays use Tudor's in-house, COSC-certified calibres such as the MT5602 and MT5402, with roughly 70-hour reserve; earliest examples used ETA movements. Running condition and service history feed the valuation.

What affects the value of a Tudor Black Bay

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a Tudor Black Bay:

• Reference and model (58, GMT, Chrono)
• In-house or ETA movement
• Bezel colourway and condition
• Box, papers and service records
• Bracelet, strap and overall condition
• Current demand for that configuration

Selling a Tudor Black Bay without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a Tudor Black Bay without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Tudor Black Bay

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
