Chanel Premiere Heritage Black Bay Blue Watch Review

The Heritage Black Bay has been a very successful model for Tudor as they reassert their place in the luxury sport watch game. Having only recently returned to the US and the UK, the Black Bay was undoubtedly part of that initiative and has enjoyed both consumer and critical success, including the replica chanel j12 Prize in 2013. The Black Bay is Tudor's vintage-inspired diver and was launched at Baselworld 2012 with a burgundy bezel, a dark brown dial, and pink gold markers and hands. Replete with a vintage-effect domed crystal and big crown, the Black Bay has been a big hit from day one.

While I really like the replica chanel watches, I have to admit that the original brown dial and the burgundy bezel felt a little overdone to my eyes. Even in dressier forms like the Tudor Black Bay, I like my divers to be a bit more muted. So, when I was first handed a Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue (79220B) during a Tudor-hosted dinner at Baselworld this past March, I was thrilled to find the aesthetic had been dialled back. Though perhaps a little less romantic, the http://www.qualitywatchesbuy.com/top-replica-chanel-premiere-watches.html is the quietly-confident and understated of these two nearly-identical twins.

The new Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue is essentially the same watch as the 79220R but with a dark blue bezel, a black dial, and white metal for the hands and markers. While the change is just color, the effect is massive, and it feels like a different watch. Where the original Black Bay was perhaps a little twee, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Blue is rather stoic and wears like much more of an "everyday" watch (despite the fact that they are technically identical). It feels more modern, and the blue bezel appears almost black in low light, which gives the 79220B the wrist presence of a Submariner (Rolex or Tudor, your choice).

If, like me, you're obsessed with dressy divers that don't cost as much as modern Rolexes or Omegas, you've read everything about the Black Bay since it was released. Under the assumption that some of you are normal high-functioning members of society, allow me to refresh your memory. The Tudor Heritage Black Bay, both R and B references, uses a 41 mm steel case that is 12.7 mm thick and 50 mm lug to lug. Based on a mix of vintage references from Tudor's past, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay is a dressier alternative to something like the Tudor Pelagos. With a unidirectional bezel, oversized crown, and domed sapphire crystal, the Black Bay is available on a steel bracelet, a leather strap, or a fabric Tudor-style nato.

Water resistance is 200m and the total weight on the fabric strap (lightest possible option) is just 94g. In keeping with Tudor's usual plan of attack, the Tudor Heritage Black Bay uses a third-party ETA 2824 automatic Swiss movement. We all know this movement, and its popularity is not unfounded. With 25 jewels, 38 hours of power reserve, and a running rate of 4Hz, the 2824 is the defacto choice for watch companies designing a three hander that have the cash to opt for a Swiss movement. If competently serviced, it is reliable, capable of excellent timekeeping, and will probably outlast you. You probably have a watch with this movement.
