Info
The Tudor Black Bay ref. 79220R represents one of the most authentic and today highly sought-after interpretations of the Black Bay collection, a model that played a key role in Tudor’s return to vintage-inspired dive watches. Introduced in 2010, this reference belongs to the first generation of the Black Bay line and is especially appreciated by enthusiasts for its perfect balance between historical aesthetics and modern reliability.
The distinctive burgundy bezel directly recalls Tudor Submariner models from the 1950s and 1960s, giving the watch a strong and immediately recognizable personality. The matte black dial, with applied indexes and generous luminous material, ensures excellent legibility and reinforces its connection to military and professional watches of the past. The iconic “Snowflake” hands, another hallmark of Tudor’s heritage, complete a design that is coherent, robust, and timeless.
The Black Bay 79220R is also highly regarded for belonging to the pre-manufacture era, being powered by the proven Swiss automatic ETA 2824-2 caliber. This movement is renowned for its robustness, accuracy, and ease of maintenance, making servicing procedures simpler and significantly more cost-effective compared to more recent in-house calibers. These characteristics, combined with long-term reliability, make this reference particularly appealing to purist collectors.
This combination of vintage aesthetics, solid construction, and historical importance within the Black Bay line has contributed to making it a true modern classic—designed for those seeking a dive watch with strong character, faithful to Tudor’s original spirit, capable of telling a story of the sea, exploration, and Swiss watchmaking tradition, without sacrificing everyday versatility and elegance.

General Overview: The Tudor Black Bay ref. 79220R is presented in excellent condition and has never been polished. Only very light micro-hairlines are present, not perceptible to the touch and difficult to notice when the watch is worn. The case edges and lines remain sharp and well defined, with no scratches or dents, reflecting careful and respectful use over time. The movement is in excellent overall condition and does not require any technical intervention. The set is complete and also includes the original Tudor NATO strap, a detail particularly appreciated by collectors.
Case: The stainless steel case, never polished, is in excellent condition, showing only minor signs of wear mainly on the polished sides, visible as fine hairlines only upon close inspection.
