It dates to the early 1900s. It's about 205mm wide, a bit more than an inch wider than a 170mm B.17, so it's better for upright riding. The honey doesn't come in an aftermarket box with a congratulatory note for picking Brooks. It comes with "OE" packaging, which means minimal, so they're fast to grab on an assembly line. You still get the saddle, the honey one won't come to you the standard overly fancy Brooks box; it'll be in the box if we're shipping to you, or on your new bicycle if you come by for pickup.

Vegetable tanned leather top
Steel rail with black powder coating
Tubular steel rivets
Colors: honey, black

Important:
The Honey ones ship without official Brooks packaging. If you're a collector of boxes, buy the honey b68 saddle from Brooks directly, but we figure most people recycle that stuff anyway. It will come with a packet of proofide and warranty card. There is not a tension bolt tool.
