We love it when a watch has history, and a story to tell. This watch was actually bought by Dylan Jones OBE and was engraved ‘Rake of the year 2014’.
‘The Rake’ being a sister magazine to ‘Revolution’, focusing on male fashion.

2015 Tudor Black Bay ETA Blue 79220B on Bracelet inspired by the Tudor 7900 Submariner series released in 1978; the 41mm case curves over your wrist for a comfortable fit, a lug-to-lug length of 50mm and a thickness of 12.7mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence.

Brushed and polished edges are expertly executed around the case, on the right side is a signed big crown, and the unidirectional stainless steel bezel has a striking blue 60-minute scale insert, at 12 o’clock you find an inverted triangle with a lume pip in its centre. 

The domed sapphire crystal sits above a matte black dial, an outer minute track with applied discs and batons marks the hours, and the characteristic snowflake hands are coated in luminance complemented by a sweeping second hand. Text is precisely applied to the dial with the “Smiley Self-Winding” at 6 o’clock.

On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back, inside an automatic ETA 2824, 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, which has been modified by Tudor, removing the date function, changes to the antishock system, and finally updating the mainspring mechanism. 

This watch is sold with its original Tudor box and paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original Tudor bracelet. And includes a Tudor NATO strap. The watch is from January 2015 and is sold in great condition; apart from a small mark to the bezel at 11 o’clock as you can see.
