Tudor Black Bay Black ETA Small Rose 79220N - 2016
Tudor Black Bay Black ETA Small Rose 79220N
Tudor put itself back on the map with the release of the Black Bay series, and the early ETA movements are quickly becoming very collectible amongst enthusiasts. Harking back to the amazing back catalogue of Tudor tool watches, it hits all the right notes for an affordable tool watch that exudes quality, and feels as if it has been built to last a lifetime. Featuring a 41mm case, uni-directional rotating bezel, 200m of water resistance and the aforementioned ETA movement, it's the perfect daily watch.
These Black 79220's were only produced for a very short period of time, the shortest production runs in Tudors history in fact, and differentiate themselves from the later 79230N's in a few key ways. Firstly, they were powered by an ETA movement meaning the case was slightly slimmer than the later in-house pieces. The dial features the Tudor rose under 12, and the 'self-winding' text arcs into what collectors know as a 'smile' just above 6 rather than the straight text of the 79230. These small but important features separate them from the more common later pieces, and provide a recipe to ensure future value and desirability.
This particular example was purchased new locally in 2016 and presents in TZ good condition. Case shows some light hairlines from regular use, a few light nicks and a small ding on the bottom left lug and some marks on the lugs from strap changes. These nicks and the small ding downgrade it from TZ Excellent condition, which the rest of the watch would be considered to be. Please see images for full condition details.
No service history, but it's a little young for that. Keeping COSC time.
Comes with outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, warranty card dated 12th April 2016, warranty booklet, card holder, OEM leather strap on Tudor deployant and OEM nato strap along with one spare link to complete the bracelet.
