The present Heritage Black Bay reference 79230R is part of a very small series of the model made for the State of Qatar, featuring the coveted gilt script in Arbic and English at six o’clock.

Very well preserved it is furthermore offered with the international guarantee and box, representing a great opportunity to acquire a rare example of the Heritage Black Bay collection.

The design of the Black Bay was inspired by the first Tudor diving wristwatches. Featuring a large winding crown reminiscent to the famous reference 7924 of 1958, the model is also fitted with the celebrated “Snowflake” design hands, seen on Tudor watches used by the French National Navy in the 1970s. The factory calibre MT5602 is COSC-certified and provides a power reserve of 70 hours.
