Description
ZF Factory Tudor Black Bay Harrods Exclusive M79230G-0001
A meticulously executed tribute to the coveted Harrods special edition, distinguished by its zero-tolerance color matching and modified dateless caliber.
Powered by Customized Asian Seagull 2824
The engine inside this reference is a reliable Asian Seagull 2824 automatic caliber, specifically modified by ZF to suit the dateless Black Bay dial. By removing the date wheel and altering the setting lever mechanism, ZF eliminates the incorrect phantom date position found on lesser replicas. This ensures the crown pulls out directly to the time-setting position, offering a horologically accurate tactile experience. The movement is regulated to maintain consistent amplitude and beat error prior to assembly.
Standard Asian Seagull 2824 clones typically perform within ±10–15 seconds per day. Thorough regulation by a competent watchmaker can often bring this variance down to single digits.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Time-only display with hacking seconds
- ✅ Winding Direction: Bidirectional
Technical Specifications
The case measures an authentic 41mm in diameter with a substantial 14.7mm thickness, providing the dense wrist presence expected from the Heritage line. Sides are mirror-polished while the lug tops feature fine linear brushing.
Features the correct Harrods-specific details: the depth rating displays ft before m in custom green text, complementing the vintage gilt hands and the unique green-tipped snowflake seconds hand.
The unidirectional 60-minute bezel utilizes a matte Harrods Green insert. The click spring mechanism provides firm, tactile feedback with minimal back-play.
Constructed with stepped faux-rivet links paying homage to mid-century dive watches. Note that this specific historical reference does not utilize the modern T-fit micro-adjustment clasp.
Why ZF Factory for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: Why not generic competitors?
ZF mastered the specific matte olive tone of the Harrods green, which other factories often render too bright or overly glossy. Furthermore, ZF correctly implements the specialized caseback engravings featuring the Harrods shield, Special Edition text, and individual sequential production numbers, all verified through .
Full Disclosure: The Asian 2824 rotor can exhibit slight audible bearing noise in quiet environments compared to the genuine MT5602 caliber, though this is easily mitigated with proper lubrication during a standard service.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the bezel color match the genuine Harrods edition?
A: ZF has gone through multiple revisions to capture the specific matte olive green. It effectively avoids the overly bright or glossy tones seen in earlier generic replicas, closely matching the authentic Harrods anodized aluminum insert.
Q: Is the ‘phantom date’ position present on this movement?
A: No. ZF has modified the Asian 2824 movement to remove the date wheel and the corresponding intermediate crown stop, ensuring a correct single-pull time setting experience accurate to the genuine time-only caliber.
Q: Are the caseback engravings accurate to the special edition?
A: Yes, the caseback features the bespoke Harrods ‘H’ shield logo, ‘Special Edition’ text, and an individual sequential production number, distinguishing it from standard Black Bay casebacks.
Q: Is the rivet bracelet compatible with genuine Tudor links?
A: While visually accurate with the stepped faux-rivet design, the internal pin-and-collar tolerances differ slightly from genuine. We do not recommend attempting to mix replica and genuine links on the same bracelet.
