Details & Specifications
Description
The Tudor Black Bay 41 “Smiley” Heritage (ref. 79220) is a beloved early Black Bay variant, distinguished by its charming dial where the “Self-Winding” text curves subtly like a smile beneath the Tudor Rose logo—details phased out after the brand’s switch to in-house movements in 2016. Housed in a robust 41 mm stainless steel case with brushed and polished finishes, it is powered by the reliable ETA 2824 automatic movement. Its black dial features luminous hour markers and signature Snowflake hands, paired with a unidirectional diver’s bezel for classic tool-watch appeal.
The aged-effect brown leather strap enhances its vintage character, offering warmth and comfort on the wrist. Produced for only a short period, the “Smiley” has since become a sought-after collectible, valued for its blend of heritage styling, dependable mechanics, and unique design charm.
