Tudor Heritage Black Bay Harrods 79230G Special Edition Box and Papers 2020

The regular 79230 Black Bays have different dials. While the red and black have gilt dials, the blue version has white printing, and it also has white luminous material instead of cream-colored. Lastly, the hands and outer rings on the indices are also finished in steel as opposed to 18k gold on the black and red versions.

Since the Harrods edition has a gilt dial, gold markers and hands, and cream-colored luminous material, it is most close to the black and red versions.

The differences on the dial from these are first off that the ”600 ft: 200m” printing on the dial is printed in green instead of gold. Since it is a Harrods limited edition, it makes sense that Tudor has used Harrods iconic green color for the watch.

The bezel is a unidirectional rotatable bezel which has a matte finish.

The bezel is the thing that differentiates the watch the most and makes it instantly recognizable. Instead of featuring a black or red bezel, the Black Bay Harrods special edition has a striking green bezel, which is unique to this watch and cannot be found on any other Tudor watch. It goes without saying that because this is a Harrods special edition watch, the bezel has been made in the green Harrods color. The watch features the iconic ”snowflake hands” that Tudor’s divers have now become known for.

The Harrods 79230G is also engraved with a unique watch number, which represents the production number of that specific watch. This is interesting since it isn’t actually a limited edition watch with a set production number, and no-one really knows how many watches will actually be made.

There’s also the letter ”H” engraved on the caseback, from the Harrods logo, as well as the text ”SPECIAL EDITION”.r

The watch is, as mentioned, fitted with a finely brushed steel bracelet with faux rivets. The first Black Bay model, the 79220, did not feature these rivets, and the introduction of these contributed to further enhancing the watch’s vintage look.
