Our Take

The Tudor 79220B Black Bay is a highly sought-after diver’s watch that captures the spirit of vintage Tudor design with modern reliability. Featuring a striking navy blue unidirectional bezel, a rich matte black dial with iconic snowflake hands, and a robust 41mm stainless steel case, the 79220B blends heritage aesthetics with contemporary build quality. Powered by the rock-solid ETA 2824 automatic movement, this earlier Black Bay reference is prized for its slimmer case profile and collectible status among enthusiasts.

This pre-owned watch is in excellent pre-owned condition. The case and bracelet very little to no signs of wear throughout. The case back appears to have been polished in the past and as a result the serial number reading I384827 is barely legible. The movement was tested to run within COSC and the watch passed pressure tests ensuring water resistance. The watch is paired on a brand new crazy horse leather strap.
