About the Tudor Oysterdate Chronograph – Ref. 79160 (Silver Dial / Stainless Steel / 40mm):
The Tudor Oysterdate Chronograph reference 79160, often referred to as the “Big Block,” was introduced in the early 1980s and marked a significant milestone as Tudor’s first automatic chronograph. Its thicker 40mm case accommodates a robust automatic chronograph movement, setting it apart from earlier manual-wind models. The stainless steel construction, tachymeter bezel, and screw-down pushers emphasize its tool-watch heritage.
This reference features a silver dial with contrasting chronograph sub-dials and a date display, offering both functionality and classic 1980s sports watch styling. With 100 meters of water resistance and a substantial case profile, the 79160 remains a notable chapter in Tudor’s chronograph evolution. Its place in the lineage of automatic chronographs continues to make it a respected model among collectors of vintage-inspired tool watches.
