Description

Presenting the most complete 79220R you?ll ever see! The ?Smiley? is the last Black Bay Heritage on the ETA movement before Tudor introduced its new in-house movement to the Black Bay line. The Black Bay Heritage ?Smiley? was discontinued in 2016 but collectors still flock to the reference for many details ? the Smiley, the Tudor Rose logo on the crown, and a slimmer case. As collectors prioritize their wants, the original Tudor Black Bay Heritage in Red (Ref. 79220R) remains high at the top of the wrist-list ? a modern take on a vintage-inspired aesthetic pleases enthusiasts everywhere. Brushed lugs and chamfered edges provide a hearty nod to past Tudor military watches but still maintain a contemporary look. The ETA version wins out among most collectors due to its thinner profile and ease of wearing. The Tudor Black Bay Heritage Smiley actually is a touch thinner than its newer counterpart, which improves the wearability. The watch is light but feels substantial, and when holding it in the hand, it feels like a great balance between artisan watchmaking and practicality.
