Tudor created a brand new version of its popular Heritage Black Bay for the UK’s most loved luxury department store — Harrods, in 2016. This special edition is a classic Black Bay reference M79230 with recognisable elements as well as unique nuances that pay homage to Harrods. Hence, the case is a predictable 41mm rendered in steel, and the dial gives room to the iconic Snowflake hands — a key detail in Tudor diving watches. House patrons will also take an instant fancy to the domed crystal and clean, luminous markers.

Visual accents that nod to Harrods and its legacy form the highlight of this watch. First and foremost, the bezel comes adorned in a shade of green as a tribute to Harrod’s signature green colour scheme. In a similar vein, the tip of the seconds-hand and text on the dial carries a green shade. One must also notice that, unlike other models, this special edition adds the depth rating with the measurement in feet first, followed by metres — indicating Harrod’s British roots. Lastly, the solid steel caseback gives the Harrods H logo a pride of place, accompanied by a unique watch number that’s inspired by the early military watches produced by Tudor.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
