TUDOR Ranger 39mm Black Dial Watch M79950-0003

The TUDOR Ranger 39mm Black Dial (Ref. M79950-0003) honours the British North Greenland Expedition of 1952-1954 where TUDOR timepieces proved their reliability in extreme Arctic conditions, establishing the foundation for authentic expedition watch design. The classic black dial with Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock maintains traditional expedition aesthetics whilst the Manufacture movement delivers contemporary performance.

At 39mm with 12mm thickness, this provides optimal proportions for tool watch functionality without excessive bulk that interferes with outdoor equipment or protective gear. The satin-brushed steel case and smooth bezel create understated durability appropriate for demanding expedition use, whilst the 100m water resistance covers most outdoor activities.

The Manufacture Calibre MT5402 delivers COSC chronometer certification with 70-hour power reserve, eliminating the need for daily winding during extended outdoor activities. The silicon balance spring provides magnetic resistance essential for modern expedition environments, whilst the variable-inertia balance with traversing bridge offers enhanced shock resistance for demanding outdoor conditions.

The green fabric strap with red and beige stripes references military expedition heritage whilst providing practical advantages including quick drying, lightweight construction, and comfort during extended outdoor wear. The Arabic numerals ensure rapid time reading in challenging conditions including low light and peripheral vision situations.

This Ranger suits buyers who want authentic expedition heritage with contemporary reliability. The British North Greenland Expedition connection provides genuine outdoor credentials rather than adventure styling, whilst the Manufacture movement and COSC certification deliver the precision and extended power reserve that modern expeditions demand from their timing instruments.
