Tudor discontinued all the Black Bay Black with ETA movements only 5 months since its release and present the 79230N, now with the in-house movement ref MT5602 and updated dial layout and reveted bracelet. Unfortunately amongst the cosmetic changes, Tudor also retired the iconic ‘Rose’ from the dial, replacing it with the more modern ‘shield’ emblem.  In addition, the new in house calibre MT5602 with its 70 house power reserve required a thicker case to house the movement increasing the depth by almost 2mm.

This makes the 79220N the shortest production model ever in Tudor's history. There is huge speculation as to how few of these were produced with some prominent authorised dealers reporting only receiving two watches. Its not a limited edition, however this is the rarest Tudor ever produced.

For those who managed to buy one when they were on sale, these represent a huge value proposition for two reasons. Firstly their build quality is exceptional and it’s clear to see they will last a lifetime. Secondly they are already commanding a premium on the pre-owned market well beyond their original retail price, and prices are likely to climb the foreseeable future.
