Model Reference
The TUDOR Black Bay 58 79030B appeared in 2020, two years after the first Black Bay 58 had joined the TUDOR range. Rather than changing the dimensions that had already become an important part of the Fifty Eight, TUDOR concentrated on colour. The black dial and warm gilt details of the original 79030N gave way to blue, silver coloured markings and a noticeably cooler appearance.
Blue also has history within TUDOR's diving watches. The brand was producing blue dialled divers decades before the 79030B arrived, including watches associated with the French Navy. The 2020 watch did not attempt to reproduce one particular historic reference, but the colour placed it within a recognisable part of TUDOR's past. This distinction is important when looking for a pre owned 79030B. A Black Bay 58 dated 2018 or 2019 may belong to the same family, but it cannot be an original 79030B from those years because the blue reference had not yet been released.
The 79030B is a watch where the blue does most of the talking. TUDOR uses it across the domed dial and the matt anodised aluminium bezel insert, then keeps the printing and bezel markings in silver and white. There are no gilt details competing with the colour, which separates this reference visually from the earlier black Black Bay 58. The familiar TUDOR details remain easy to spot. The Snowflake hour hand crosses large luminous markers, a triangle marks 12 o'clock, and there is no date window interrupting the dial. Around it is a unidirectional bezel graduated for 60 minutes, as expected on a watch intended for measuring diving time.
At 39mm, the steel case avoids the larger proportions of some Black Bay models. Polished and satin finished surfaces are used across the case, while the crown carries the TUDOR rose in relief. A domed sapphire crystal follows the profile of the dial underneath. One detail needs particular attention on a reference specific page because the 79030B was not tied to a single strap. TUDOR offered it on a riveted steel bracelet, a blue soft touch strap and a blue fabric strap with a silver coloured band. The exact suffix identifies which configuration was originally supplied.
The size of the Black Bay 58 has a historical reason. Its name refers to 1958, the year TUDOR introduced reference 7924. That early diving watch had a 39mm case and was waterproof to 200 metres, measurements that helped inform the proportions and purpose of the modern Fifty Eight. The 79030B keeps that relatively compact diameter without relying on an old movement or construction. Inside is TUDOR's Manufacture Calibre MT5402, developed for the smaller dimensions of watches such as the Black Bay 58.
It is an automatic mechanical movement with bidirectional winding, 27 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. COSC chronometer certification covers its timekeeping performance, while approximately 70 hours of power reserve gives the owner considerably more than a single day between winding cycles. The diving specifications are equally straightforward. The screw down crown, unidirectional timing bezel and 200 metre water resistance are functional parts of the watch rather than historic styling added for appearance.

The 79030B has been available in several configurations since 2020, which makes the reference number only part of the story when looking at a pre owned watch. A steel bracelet piece may have different wear around its clasp and links from one originally supplied on fabric, while a replacement strap can change how complete the original configuration remains.
BQ Watches can help establish those details when you are ready to buy a 79030B. The case finish, bezel insert, bracelet or strap, clasp and accompanying box and papers can be considered together rather than treating every blue Black Bay 58 as interchangeable.
The same reference specific approach is useful when the watch is already yours. A valuation can reflect the condition and configuration of the individual piece. If your collection has changed since you bought it, you may prefer to put the watch towards an exchange rather than add another piece outright. BQ Watches can also assess the 79030B if you have decided to sell, with the watch considered as it stands today rather than solely by model and age.
