Green with Envy: The Tudor Black Bay Harrods Edition Arrives at Timekeeper PH
Here at Timekeeper PH, we are constantly searching for exceptional timepieces to bring to our discerning collectors. Today, we are thrilled to announce a truly special arrival: the highly coveted Tudor Black Bay "Harrods" Special Edition. This is more than just a new watch; it's a cult classic, a symbol of a unique partnership, and one of the most talked-about Tudor references in recent memory.
This exclusive piece combines the rugged, vintage-inspired charm of the Black Bay collection with the iconic branding of one of the world's most famous luxury department stores. For enthusiasts in the Philippines, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a watch typically available only in the heart of London.
A Partnership Forged in Prestige
The story of this watch begins in 2017, when Tudor partnered with Harrods to create a special edition exclusively for its legendary Fine Watch Room. Retailer-specific editions are a time-honored tradition in the watch world, often becoming instant collectibles due to their limited nature. The Tudor and Harrods collaboration is a perfect example of this.
This partnership links a watch brand celebrated for its robust heritage and tool-watch prowess with a retailer synonymous with ultimate luxury. The result is a timepiece that captures the spirit of both, creating a narrative that extends far beyond its technical specifications. It’s a piece of horological history you can wear on your wrist.
The Allure of Harrods Green
At first glance, the watch is unmistakably a Black Bay. But the details are what set it apart. The most striking feature is the bezel, rendered in the distinctive deep green associated with Harrods. This specific shade is unique to this model, immediately distinguishing it from any other watch in Tudor’s lineup.
The touch of green doesn't stop there. Tudor masterfully applied subtle accents to the dial, including a green-tipped seconds hand and, most notably, the depth rating ("200 m : 660 ft") printed in the same elegant green. These small changes create a cohesive and sophisticated design that feels both special and intentional. It’s a masterclass in how to execute a special edition with taste and restraint.
More Than Just a Color
Beneath its unique exterior, the Harrods edition is a formidable modern dive watch. It is housed in the classic 41mm stainless steel Black Bay case, offering a substantial and confident presence on the wrist. Inside beats the heart of the watch: Tudor's in-house, COSC-certified Calibre MT5602. This robust movement provides chronometer-level accuracy and a weekend-proof 70-hour power reserve.
Flipping the watch over reveals another exclusive detail. Unlike standard Black Bay models, the caseback features a special engraving. It includes the iconic Harrods "H" logo and a unique edition number, confirming the watch's provenance and making each piece a one-of-a-kind treasure for its owner.
A Modern Collectible
The Tudor Black Bay "Harrods" has earned its status as a must-have for serious collectors. Its restricted availability, combined with its handsome and unique color scheme, has created immense demand globally. It perfectly balances vintage aesthetics, like the "snowflake" hands and oversized crown, with the performance of a contemporary timepiece.
We are incredibly proud to offer this exceptional and hard-to-find watch to our clients. It represents a fantastic opportunity to own a piece that is both a reliable daily companion and a significant, conversation-starting collectible.
