You can buy an additional TT bracelet.

Where did you see this? I couldn’t find anything on Harrod’s website or Tudor’s IG.

Interesting piece. I'm not sure how I feel about the semi TT nature of the watch, but I'm not hating it.

I like it. Not that I'd have gotten it but I wish it were smaller.

All 175 copies went to those nice people in the Met Police who chose to look after the late owner of Harrods by ignoring the complaints of sexual harassment that were made against him.







In all honesty, I'm surprised that Tudor wanted to get involved with anything to do with Harrods at the moment.

The watch is quite nice though.

Tudor Harrods 175th Anniversary edition

I got one! Comes with a green NATO strap.

Seconds hand has “Harrods” written on it. Beautiful Harrods building on caseback. Jubilee-esque bracelet. Ordered a TT bracelet too.

Lovely green sunburst green dial. Black/gold/green work really well.

So here it is.

Wow I really like that. Wonder if Tudor will put a non-limited similar version out?

Excellent point. But I would consider buying this and adding a TT jubilee bracelet.

While not quite in the same league, I seem to remember Jimmy Savile's DD coming up for sale shortly after his death.

You have to really feel for the poor sod who stumped up for it given what subsequently came out.

Congrats, looks really nice. I do like the "H" second hand and Harrods green dial. Would like to see it on a TT jubilee bracelet.

Agree. When the new bracelet arrives and I have it fitted I’ll post some pics!

In all honesty, I'm surprised that Tudor wanted to get involved with anything to do with Harrods at the moment.

The watch is quite nice though.

Some will say a post like this isn’t appropriate or germane to the topic of the watch..

However, I’m glad you posted it. I don’t think it needed a “j/k” emoji.

This news story didn’t get a lot of publicity in the states (most don’t have access to the BBC) and I think it’s important that a potential watch enthusiast have all the information available before purchasing a watch that commemorates the history Harrods.

I’m not casting aspersion on those that love the watch or intend to buy it. For the record, I think it’s lovely. I also like the green bezel edition.

There could be others though who may not get the same level of satisfaction once finding out that many upper level managers were allegedly complicit in the enabling and cover up of multiple sexual assaults of vulnerable, young Harrods employees. So I do think having the information out there is relative to this forum as it could very well affect the wearing and/or buying experience of this and the previous Tudor.

A friend of mine said yesterday, “The limited run of 175 could represent both the number of years and the number of rapes”.

Again, feel free to delete my post, but I think every watch enthusiast should be aware of the situation before committing resources to the watch. I am in no way saying that a purchaser of these watches condones the alleged actions and I understand that both Tudor and current management of Harrods repudiates and has no tolerance for sexual abuse of any kind.


I respect all opinions, but feel we all react differently and deserve to be in the know.

For those who’ve bought the watch, thank you so much for the pictures. It’s gorgeous and wear it in the best of health.
