Tudor Heritage Black Bay ETA Red 79220R

Tudor Heritage Black Bay ETA Burgundy Red 79220R

Tudor Heritage Black Bay ETA 79220R with Burgundy red bezel insert and a gilt dial. The watch comes with a box (without interior), a manual, original deplyment clasp (safety lock missing),  and TUDOR cardholder. The watch is presented on an original Tudor aged leather strap with a non-original buckle.

The watch is in used condition and shows signs of wear in the form of scratches, marks, and hairlines. Please refer to the images. The red bezel insert is in flawless condition. The case chamfers/bevels on the lugs are present.

The Tudor Heritage Black Bay was in production between 2012 and 2016 and was then discontinued in favor of the updated version reference 79230R with an in-house movement. The Tudor 79220R has a striking and unique burgundy red matte aluminium bezel insert with 60 graduations. The bezel is unidirectional. To match the color of the bezel, the crown tube is also red.

Produced between 2012 and 2016, the reference 79220 is considered one of the most important watches for Tudor, as it was the watch that put Tudor on the map again after its relaunch. This is an iconic timepiece which pays tribute to vintage Tudor Submariner watches, with clear vintage-inspired design traits such as a big crown without crown guards, a matte black dial, gilt dial, aluminium insert, and beautiful lug bevels.

The Tudor 79220R brings the benefit of being slightly thicker than the successor, which allows it to sit slimmer on the wrist.
