Introducing the Tudor Black Bay “Green” Exclusive to Harrods
Tudor has prepared for London’s most famous department store a special edition Black Bay to be sold exclusively through Harrods’ Fine Watch Room. The Black Bay, of course, is the model that re-established the brand more than any other in its line-up, along the way earning kudos as one of the coolest diving watches money can buy. The Black Bay features the domed dial and crystal from the first Tudor diving watches, along with the prominent winding crown from the ref. 7924 of 1958, known to enthusiasts as the “Big Crown”. It also employs the characteristic snowflake hands first delivered to the French National Navy in the 1970s.
Already the subject of numerous variants, including models with blue, burgundy and black bezels, a bronze version and other deviations from the norm, the Black Bay for Harrods offers unique features that pay homage to Harrods’ trademark green colour scheme. The bezel, the tip of the seconds hand and the waterproof depth rating “660ft/200m” on the dial are all present in the hue of Harrods green.
The Tudor Black Bay for Harrods comes fitted with a steel bracelet, recalling the brand’s riveted 1950s and 1960s bracelet, as well as a complimentary black fabric strap which is a signature feature of Tudor’s Heritage line. Price is £2,630, which will surely be inflated by collectors within a year to £3,000-plus.
At least!
