Tudor aren’t dubious about the origins of the MT5813 stating in the press release that the brands have ‘chosen to pool their expertise in the design and production of certain mechanical movements’. The MT5813 isn’t merely a re-badged Breitling B01 as many suspect, Tudor have added a non-magnetic silicon balance spring and escape wheel, a tungsten rotor and an upgrade in timing capacity from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. Other features that the new models share with the 2017 Baselword release are the lightly-domed sapphire crystal, the case dimensions, the chrono pushers, the riveted 3-link steel bracelet and finally, the Calibre MT5813. While this won’t be a dealbreaker for many, it is a factor worth considering if you plan to use the chronograph function regularly. The main criticism of the first Black Bay Chrono, the reference M79350-0004, that will remain consistent with the new variations is the way that the chunky ‘Snowflake’ hour hand obstructs the view of the chronograph register twice a day for a 2-hour period. The 2021 Tudor Black Bay Chrono ref: M79360N-0001 Unchanged from the 0004 Both 2021 models replace the slightly left-field part with a traditional, steel crown tube. The final update on this rework of the first Black Bay Chrono is the replacing of that red anodised aluminium winding crown tube. ![]() ![]() This characterful insert sits in a fixed, steel bezel. The new dials are certainly head-turners, however, once you’ve admired them, the next part that steals attention is the 70s-style black anodised aluminium bezel with its tachymetric scale and silver markings. Both dials have a subtle grained finish that extends down into the sunken, bi-compax sub-dials. The first of the two new models features an opaline (or milky, off-white) dial and black registers with the second new model featuring a black dial with silver registers. The 2021 Tudor Black Bay Chrono ref: M79360N-0002 What’s new?
