Frequently Asked Questions

How Rare Is This Watch Compared to Other TUDOR Limited Editions?

With just 175 examples produced, the Black Bay Harrods 175th Anniversary Limited Edition ranks among TUDOR’s most restricted production models ever created. Most TUDOR limited editions are produced in quantities of 1,000 or more, making this particular model exceptionally rare. The combination of extremely limited numbers and exclusive distribution through Harrods creates a perfect storm of collectability.

The watch’s rarity is further enhanced by its original distribution model, which saw pieces offered only to select Harrods clients rather than through general retail channels. This exclusive approach means many examples likely remain in the hands of original owners who understand the significance of the piece, making available examples increasingly scarce in the secondary market.

What Makes the METAS Certification Special?

METAS (Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology) certification represents the highest standard in watchmaking precision and reliability, surpassing traditional COSC chronometer requirements. To earn this designation, movements must pass rigorous testing for accuracy in multiple positions and temperatures, magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss, and power reserve consistency, ensuring exceptional performance in real-world conditions.

For the Black Bay Harrods, METAS certification means the MT5602-U movement delivers uncompromising reliability whether worn daily in London’s bustling financial district or during weekend adventures. The superior magnetic resistance is particularly relevant in modern life, where exposure to magnetic fields from electronic devices is unavoidable, ensuring the watch maintains its precision regardless of environmental challenges.

How Does This Black Bay Harrods Differ From Standard Models?

Beyond the exclusive green dial and yellow gold bezel that distinguish it visually, this limited edition features several unique elements not found on standard production models. The Harrods “H” integrated into the seconds hand, the specially engraved caseback depicting the Harrods building, and the individual numbering (x/175) create a watch that tells a specific story about British luxury heritage.

The colour combination itself, green dial with yellow gold accents, has never been offered in the standard Black Bay collection, making this not just a limited edition but a unique aesthetic proposition within TUDOR’s catalogue. These distinctive elements, combined with the anniversary significance and extremely limited production, elevate this model from a simple variant to a genuine collector’s piece.

What Is the Historical Significance of This Collaboration?

Founded in 1849, Harrods has stood for 175 years as Britain’s most prestigious department store and a global symbol of luxury retail. Located in London’s Knightsbridge district, the store has served royalty and discerning clientele for generations, becoming an institution that transcends retail to represent British heritage, quality, and elegance. All values that align perfectly with TUDOR’s own philosophy.

This collaboration marks a significant moment in both brands’ histories, with TUDOR choosing to commemorate Harrods’ 175th anniversary through one of its most limited productions ever. The partnership represents a meeting of Swiss watchmaking excellence and British luxury heritage, creating a timepiece that captures the essence of both institutions while offering collectors a genuinely historic acquisition opportunity.

What Are the Investment Prospects for This Limited Edition?

While no investment can be guaranteed, several factors suggest strong collectability for the Black Bay Harrods 175th Anniversary Limited Edition. The extremely limited production of just 175 pieces, the prestigious dual branding with Harrods, the anniversary significance, and the exclusive distribution model all contribute to its investment potential. Previous Harrods collaborations with luxury watch brands have historically performed exceptionally well in the secondary market.

The watch benefits from TUDOR’s rising status in the collector community, where limited editions from the brand are increasingly sought after. The combination of the popular Black Bay platform with genuinely exclusive elements creates a compelling proposition for collectors who understand that rarity, provenance, and storytelling are key drivers of long-term value in the luxury watch market.
