Watch Description

https://www.tudorsub.com/tudorsubmariner79090


In 1989, Tudor released the last of the acrylic crystal submariner references, the 79090. The ref. 79090 was nearly identical to the previous ref. 76100, except it featured mercedes hands and included the updated ETA calibre 2824-2.  While the ref. 79090 was the last submariner to feature an acrylic crystal, it was not the last submariner in Tudor’s lineup.

# Tudor Black Bay 41 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Tudor Black Bay 41 is a professional-grade dive watch channeling the spirit of the vintage Tudor Submariner with its 41mm stainless steel Oyster-style case, unidirectional rotatable bezel featuring a matte black anodized aluminum insert, highly legible black dial accented by signature snowflake hands and Super-LumiNova indices, powered by the in-house automatic MT5602-U movement offering COSC certification and an impressive 70-hour power reserve, perfectly suited for the active collector or diver seeking premium tool watch performance without Rolex pricing.

## Overall Watch Rating: 7.7/10.0

**Dials & Design Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Timeless proportions, bold lume, and heritage-inspired details deliver legibility and appeal on par with the Rolex Submariner.
**Material Metric (9.3/10.0)** - Robust 316L stainless steel paired with domed sapphire crystal and meticulous brushing/polishing rivals the build quality of established luxury divers.
**Movement Metric (9.2/10.0)** - In-house COSC-certified automatic with 70-hour reserve outperforms many mid-tier mechanicals in accuracy and reliability.
**Cohesiveness Metric (9.0/10.0)** - Every element from bezel to clasp harmonizes flawlessly, reinforcing Tudor's cohesive dive watch identity.
**Versatility Metric (8.7/10.0)** - Excels from ocean depths to office wear on its steel bracelet, outshining niche tool watches in everyday adaptability.
**Brand Metric (8.3/10.0)** - Rolex-affiliated heritage provides elevated luxury access comparable to entry-level Omega or TAG Heuer.
**History & Innovation Metric (8.1/10.0)** - Draws from 1954 Tudor dive legacy while introducing modern in-house calibers akin to Grand Seiko's evolution.
**Functions Metric (5.8/10.0)** - Solid timekeeping and dive-ready features suffice but trail multifunction rivals like the Omega Seamaster.
**Rarity Metric (6.4/10.0)** - Balanced production and pricing make it attainable yet coveted, similar to popular Hamilton divers.
**Complications Metric (2.2/10.0)** - Prioritizes simplicity over extras, lagging behind chronograph-equipped peers like the Tudor Black Bay Chrono.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 7.2

## WM Collector Grade: B+

## Performance Insights: Excels in design, materials, movement, and brand prestige for exceptional build quality; functions and complications are basic, delivering strong value well above the implied price of $3200.

## TPS Interpretation: Good Value: The watch delivers premium dive capabilities and heritage that exceed price-point expectations for discerning enthusiasts.
