- This video compares some of the differences between the discontinued Tudor Heritage Black Bay 79220, also known as the Rose ETA version, against the newer shield dial with an In-House movement. While the watches appear the same, there are subtle differences that may cause someone to go for the older version, or chose the new, in-house model with the better tech specs.

The ETA. The benefits of the in house are not very helpful here. Who needs a massive power reserve for a time-only watch? If it stops, it takes about 15 seconds to set it. Secondly, watch demagnetizers cost $11 on Amazon. Everyone should get one and use them on all their watches once a month just in case. Again, it takes seconds.
Nonsense. You can buy an ETA watch for $500. Why pay more than that? The in house movement is what brings the Tudor into its own.
I'd never sell a Tudor
I have the ETA and tried on the in-house and it's massive. The eta at about 13mm wears great. I also find the back of the case on the in house really annoying with the coin on the case back. The difference feels a lot more than 2mm to me.
Eta for me...thickness,servicing and hand stack...and curved text
It's a modified ETA that works just fine. + or - 5 seconds a day easily. The main reason I got the ETA was that it's flat on the bottom and sits better on the wrist. Just feels nicer. For a watch without a date I could care less about the power reserve. The smiley face text also just looks better in my opinion. Cheaper servicing is just icing on the cake.
Thanks for making this video as I battled the same exact concerns that you are and could not find any videos comparing the two. I just purchased the ETA version a few weeks ago. Guess you know which one I’d pick! Also cool that the ETA version really helped put Tudor back on the map so to speak. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Keep the Smily Face. The taller will be less stable on your wrist, having its lugs nearly 2 mm higher above the skin of your wrist, and to compensate for it the natural tendency is to tighten the strap more. THIS IS WHY I AM HOLDING OFF. I want to see if Tudor puts in a version of the movement that’s in the much slimmer bb58. I could be waiting in vain, but I am waiting, or getting the bb36 instead.
Wow all because of a NATO strap! I have both and they have bracelets on each! And I can honestly say I do not notice the size differences. Also the in house movement is so much better, so much! You should never turn the Bezel when it is on your wrist you should have it off? Also Rolex have said that the Calibre MT5602 is the best in house movement that they have produced! And yes I lose or gain 1 second per day depending how long it of my wrist for (some days it has gained or lost 0.5secs) But in house movement all day long as you have to appreciate the mechanism that has been engineered to produce such an accurate watch it is not a Watch that I will be given up any time soon and that suggest a lot! Black Bay 41 without turning bezel and ETA movement (the one they say is better than the Explorer) and Black Bay with in house movement are probably the best watches that I have!
In-house movement, official COSC rated and 70:hour power reserve means it is the newer one for me. Great review.
I have the black dial ETA, the Blue is a stunner.
I went for the new version because of the power reserve. My advise always follow your heart.God Bless!!!
Great video man, super helpful. Thanks and keep up the good work!
nice job in showing off the differences! very helpful. Wish they would trim the slabbiness of this watch.
Eye opener for me on difference other than movement. Make me feel I made the right decision for having a Tudor eta.
I have gone for the Tudor ETA and haven't look back! :)🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Both watches are beautiful but obviously the new version is a better watch. I have a BB 58 and a BB GMT and I'm delighted with both and in the case of the GMT, it looks perfect on my 7'5 inches wrist size. Great video and many thanks for sharing. By the way, you have a new subscriber.
Very interesting video. I learned a lot and in a better position to buy my next Tudor. Thank you
Very good and useful review. Great idea (and expense) to make it happen. I'd go with ETA for the cost of maintenance and wear-ability. I used to be a big watches fan but not anymore. I totally moved into 37-41mm range even if i have a 8 inch wrist. Based on experience (Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm) the best watch in the world won't prevent you to hit it, especially during the summer when you have no long sleeve to protect it. You'll going to hit it sooner than later. Period. Finally it seems like I'll still get a in-house movement for a good bargain. That's from a watch aficionado mostly JLC and Omega, no Rolex.
nice review. really helpful.
