Tudor Black Bay 41mm Black Dial 79540 2024 NOS
Overview
The Tudor Black Bay 41mm reference 79540 is a clean, versatile expression of the Black Bay line—a collection deeply rooted in Tudor’s tool-watch heritage. While it presents a minimalist, time-only profile that emphasizes clarity and proportion, this particular piece holds a unique and powerful story. This particular timepiece is part of a series of watches awarded to AirAsia pilots to commend them for 10 years of service, transforming it from a simple timepiece into a symbol of achievement and dedication.
Crafted in a polished and satin-brushed 41mm stainless steel case, this model features a smooth bezel that lends it an elegant yet robust aesthetic. The crisp black dial is understated yet unmistakably Tudor, with applied hour markers and the iconic snowflake hands filled with luminous material—a subtle nod to the brand’s dive-watch DNA. A domed sapphire crystal curves gently above the dial, enhancing legibility while adding a vintage charm. With a screw-down crown and 150 meters of water resistance, the 79540 confidently balances refinement and performance.
What truly sets this watch apart is its provenance. As a rare piece from a pilot recognition program, it has an emotional connection to the world of aviation and the professionalism it represents. The engraving of the AirAsia logo on the caseback further cements its status as a personal milestone, elevating it beyond the ordinary and making it a compelling piece for both watch collectors and aviation enthusiasts alike.
Powering the watch is the reliable Tudor Calibre 2824, a proven automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve that ensures dependable performance. Whether worn on a steel bracelet, leather strap, or fabric NATO, the Black Bay 41 retains its confident, contemporary silhouette. For those who appreciate timeless design and a quiet story of achievement, this reference offers a unique combination of craftsmanship and meaningful history.
