-RARE- Tudor Black Bay 79220N "Smiley" - 2015
-RARE- Tudor Black Bay 79220N "Smiley" - 2015
Based on the original Tudor Submariner 7922 from the 50s, this is the rarest of the non-LE Black Bay model line (and even rarer than some "Limited” Editions!)
The N stands for Noire in french, differentiating it from the mich more common Blue and Bordeaux bezel versions. The new black bezel version, 79230N was released afterwards (No smiley text) and is also comparitively common.
This is the first generation version, produced only from October 2015 to March 2016
Approx 3000 produced, a tiny number for Tudor. Values of this model have been steadily rising since discontinued.
