1. About the Tudor Black Bay Harrods (79230G)

Released as an exclusive collaboration with Harrods London, the Tudor Black Bay Harrods stands out immediately with its signature green bezel, matching green second-hand tip, and warm gilt dial accents. Built on the Black Bay diver platform, it features Tudor’s in-house MT5602 movement, 41mm steel case, and the beloved vintage-inspired Tudor snowflake hands.

What makes the Harrods edition so special is its color story :

deep forest-green bezel
warm gold-tone markers
rich black dial

This combination gives the Harrods a unique identity — at once sporty, vintage, and unmistakably Tudor. Because of these tones, the watch responds exceptionally well to strap changes that highlight its green warmth and gilt depth. With the right strap, the Harrods can shift between rugged tool-watch, heritage vintage, and dressy sport-lux.

2. Strap Fit & Buying Checklist

Before selecting a strap for your Harrods edition, keep these fitment points in mind :

Lug Width: 22mm (standard for 41mm Black Bay models).
Case Thickness: Thick case profile works best with firm, supportive straps.
Vintage Aesthetic: Gilt dial & green bezel pair well with earthy tones.
Clasp Compatibility: Works with tang buckle or Tudor deployant depending on strap style.
Daily Comfort: Choose breathable lining for long wear, especially for hot climates.
Color Harmony: Earthy brown, olive, black, tan, and textured finishes suit the Harrods beautifully.

8. FAQ

Q: The Harrods green is very specific. How do I pick a strap color that actually matches it?
A: The Harrods bezel is a deep “forest” green, not bright or neon. The best matches are olive, dark green, chestnut, brown, or taupe. These earth tones complement both the green bezel and the gilt dial, making the watch feel more cohesive.

Q: I’m afraid to scratch the case when swapping straps. Is it difficult?
A: Not at all — the Black Bay uses standard spring bars, so it’s beginner-friendly. We can also send you a quick video to guide you through it safely.

Q: I love the green bezel, but I don’t want a strap that makes the watch too “green.” What are my options?
A: Go for brown, taupe, or black — these neutral tones let the bezel stand out without overwhelming the look.

Q: What strap looks most “heritage” on the Harrods edition?
A: Diablo leather or Ospro (Babele). Both give the watch a warm, vintage diver feel that matches the gilt markers perfectly.

Q: What strap material is best for humid weather?
A: Canvas performs best. It dries quickly, stays breathable, and won’t feel sticky on the wrist. Leather works too but avoid suede in heavy humidity.

Q: What strap should I avoid for the Harrods edition?
A: Very bright colors (like bright red or electric blue) tend to clash with the green bezel. Stick to earthy, neutral, or dark tones that complement the Harrods palette.
