About this watch
An increasingly appreciated early-generation Tudor Black Bay, the 79220R “Smiley” represents the original era of the modern Black Bay collection. Instantly recognizable by its burgundy bezel and curved “Self-Winding” text at six o’clock—which gave the reference its enthusiast-created “Smiley” nickname—the 79220R has developed a strong following among collectors of early modern Tudor.
Unlike the later manufacture-movement Black Bay models, the 79220 generation belongs to the original ETA-powered era of the collection, giving it a distinct place within Tudor’s modern history. Its 41mm stainless steel case, black dial, warm vintage-inspired detailing, and burgundy aluminum bezel capture the design language that helped establish the Black Bay as one of Tudor’s signature collections.
Accompanied by its original inner and outer boxes, warranty card dated 2016, booklet, manual, serialized hang tag, and 12 bracelet links, this example presents in great pre-owned condition and offers a desirable package for collectors seeking an early “Smiley” Black Bay.
