Tudor Black Bay Red ETA Small Rose 79220R - 2013
Tudor Black Bay Red ETA Small Rose 79220R
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 Red 79220's are the original Black Bay, and differentiate themselves from the later 79230'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 in 2013 and presents in TZ Good condition. Unpolished case shows hairlines from regular use, and some small dings and nicks on the side of the case. Brushed sections are in very good condition, with bevels very sharp. There's also a few small marks on the lugs and some scratches behind them from strap changes. Crystal has a scratch near 5, and there's a tiny dust fleck on the dial close to this position too. Please see images for full condition details.
Comes equipped on the OEM Tudor leather with deployant, as well as the OEM Nato strap. Both in excellent condition.
No service history - keeping COSC time.
Comes with outer box, inner box (poor condition, insides falling apart form what looks to be heat damage at a guess), warranty card dated April 2013, warranty booklet, instruction booklet, card holder, OEM nato strap and hangtag.
