Tudor Black Bay S&G 79733N — Choosing Materials That Match Steel & Gold

It feels warmer, slightly heavier in character, and more visually pronounced than a standard stainless steel model.

1. About the Tudor Black Bay S&G 79733N (Black Dial)

Reference: 79733N
Model: Tudor Black Bay S&G Black Dial (Date)
Case Size: 41 mm
Lug Width: 22 mm
Materials: Stainless steel case with yellow gold bezel cap and screw-down crown
Bezel: Black anodized aluminum insert with gold-tone numerals
Dial: Domed black dial with gilt printing and gold-tone hands
Original Configuration: Steel & yellow gold riveted bracelet

The Tudor Black Bay S&G 79733N introduced a two-tone direction into the modern Black Bay collection without abandoning its dive-watch foundation. The black dial version is the most balanced execution in the S&G lineup. The contrast between the matte black dial and the yellow gold accents creates visual clarity while maintaining warmth.

Unlike the champagne dial variant, the 79733N retains a stronger tool-watch character. The black bezel and gilt dial details keep the watch grounded, while the gold bezel cap and crown introduce weight and presence on the wrist.

Most owners wear the 79733N on its steel-and-gold bracelet. However, when configured on a strap, the watch shifts noticeably. The key consideration is proportion and tone. Because the 79733N combines steel and yellow gold, strap material and color must support both elements. When selected correctly, a strap makes the watch lighter, more versatile, and more personal — without disrupting its Black Bay identity.

2. Strap Fit & Buying Checklist

Before choosing a strap for your Tudor Black Bay S&G 79733N, confirm the following :

Lug width: 22mm
Case size: 41mm
Case thickness: approx. 14.8mm (requires proper strap structure)
Spring bar type: Straight 22mm spring bars
Gold accents: Yellow gold bezel cap and crown must be visually supported
Dial tone: Black dial with gilt details — works best with black, brown, or warm neutral tones

If you are unsure whether your watch is the 79733N black dial version or another Black Bay reference, we can confirm sizing before you order.

6. What Our Customers Say

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “When the bronze started to darken, the watch felt completely different. Switching to a blue leather strap brought everything back into balance — the dial stood out, the patina looked intentional, and the watch felt more ‘complete.’”

— Federico S., Hamburg

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I tried several straps before finding one that really worked with bronze. What surprised me was how much comfort improved once the strap aged along with the case. It stopped feeling like an accessory and became part of the watch.”

— Anthony M., Milan

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I wanted something close to the original Bucherer look, but better finished. The strap didn’t fight the bronze at all — it actually made the patina look richer over time.”

— Trevo R., Monaco

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Exotic leather sounded risky at first, but on bronze it makes sense. From a distance it looks clean; up close it adds just enough character without taking attention away from the dial.”

— Ailan H., Dubai
