The original Black Bay

Burgundy character.
First-generation charm.

Reference 79220R is the original burgundy-bezel Black Bay and one of the most recognizable watches from Tudor’s modern revival. Its domed black dial combines warm gilt accents, oversized luminous markers, and the curved “Rotor Self-Winding” text that gave this generation its “Smiley” nickname.

The 41 mm steel case houses the ETA 2824-2 automatic movement and is paired with the original stainless-steel bracelet. This discontinued example is presented with the Tudor inner and outer boxes, warranty card, booklets, hang tag, and accessories shown in the photographs.
