Watch Description

vintage-inspired model that combines elements from Tudor dive watches produced in the 50s and 60s with modern watchmaking technologies. The collection debuted in 2012 and has since expanded to include countless variations, including the discontinued special edition Harrods ref. 79230G you see here. It is characterized by a black gilt dial topped with creamy lume in gold surrounds.

Keen-eyed collectors will also notice that the depth rating and the tip of the seconds hand are presented in Harrod's signature green hue instead of gold, as seen on non-special editions of the ref. 79230. The bezel is also in matching green instead of the typical black or red bezel option. Lastly, the case back is engraved with an "H" for Harrods along with the production number and the distinction "Special Edition."
