ABOUT THE WATCH

Unworn, NOS, Complete with box and papers dated 2019. Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue reference 79220B – RARE New Old Stock timepiece. This old Black Bay reference 79220B was discontinued in 2016 in favor for the Black Bay reference 79230 which features an in-house movement. This watch is equipped with an ETA movement. The 79220B Black Bay represents a new era for the TUDOR brand as it is Tudor’s most important model which was released in 2012 as part of the brand’s relaunch. This model has been out of production for several year, and thus finding an unworn example of this watch featuring all factory stickers has become increasingly rare. Not to mention an example which has a certificate that is dated 2019. This means that this watch is still covered under Tudor’s two-year warranty. The reference 79220B has the iconic “smiley face” and Tudor rose on the dial, as opposed to the new straight text and Tudor shield logo. With this in mind, this watch is sure to become a future collector’s piece due to its importance for the Tudor brand.
