The movement inside This reference is built with either calibre. The choice changes the price, the rate and the reserve — nothing else about the watch.
| Base | Seiko NH35 or Miyota 8215, automatic | Swiss clone of the maison's own calibre |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | ±15 to 25 seconds a day | ±5 to 10 seconds a day |
| Reserve | About 40 hours | 55 to 70 hours |
| Balance | 21,600 A/h · six beats a second | 28,800 A/h · eight beats a second |
| Servicing | Any watchmaker can service it; parts are everywhere | Serviced by a specialist; finished as the original is |
| Suited to | Wearing daily, keeping simply, spending less | Matching the reference exactly, and glass casebacks |
The Swiss movement is $50 more. That figure buys the rate, the reserve and a movement that reads correctly through a glass back — not a different watch.
Which we would take. If it is to be worn every day and serviced down the road from you, the Japanese is the honest answer. If it has to survive a loupe against the reference — or the caseback is glass and the movement is meant to be seen — take the Swiss.
The exact base calibre for this reference is confirmed in writing, with the QC film, before anything is dispatched. The two movements, explained
- QC film before ship
- 2-year warranty
- Discreet insured express
Add to cart, enter your ship-to details, then pay with crypto — or message the desk. Either way you get a QC film of this piece: reply GL to ship or RL for another. Japanese +$50 · Swiss +$100.

Description
Premium—TD Tudor Black Bay Professional 79470—With time as its wings, it fulfills its promise to the world.
1) The genuine Mold Tooling 39mm stainless steel case combines polished and matte finishes. The rivet stainless steel strap is a replica of the classic 1950 design. The T-fit quick-adjust buckle allows for tool-free 8mm length adjustment. While carrying professional functions, it continues the classic silhouette of the Black Bay collection, and the perfect size fits most wrists.
2) The eggshell or matte black dials each have their own charm. The one-piece molded three-dimensional ceramic hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova® luminous material, paired with Tudor's iconic yellow "snowflake" hands. The angular design is not only a continuation of the classic elements from 1969, but also makes the time reading clear and intuitive. The brushed steel 24-hour fixed outer ring has a warm texture and complements the domed blue crystal mirror, reflecting a restrained luster under different lighting conditions.
3) Internally, it features a replica Tudor MT5652 movement from the original factory. This movement also includes functions such as a central instantaneous jump hour hand (second time zone) and a 24-hour hand (the four hands' sequence matches the genuine product). All time-setting functions are identical to the original. It allows for single-hand adjustment of the hour hand, independent time-setting functions, free forward and backward calibration, and hour hand reversal of the calendar. The calendar window jumps instantaneously at midnight. It boasts a 72-hour power reserve, offering both practicality and precision.
