I am a fan of the Seiko brand. I started my life as a watch enthusiast with a Seiko five, recommended by my father. He then praised the many merits of the Japanese brand. My love for the brand has not changed, and I like more and more what the brand produced in the 60s/70s, in particular a certain Seiko 'Pogue'. The 2021 edition reminds me a lot of this famous chronograph. It is far from being a perfect piece; its bracelet is not very qualitative, the movement is not the most precise. But no matter, it is really pretty and endearing.

Seiko 5 sports 2021 limited edition

First of all, I am a fan of diving watches. This is a watch that I found bland at first. Then, after seeing it in the window, I began to appreciate it. Its professional tool side is very attractive, and finally titanium is an interesting and discreet material. This watch does not revolutionize the design of the diving watch, but shines with its discretion and reliability. A must for me!

A diver with character

<p dir="ltr">The brand <strong>Tudor</strong>, founded in <strong>1926</strong>, is the fruit of the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, also founder of Rolex. His ambition was to create a watch that would offer the reliability and quality of Rolex, but at a more affordable price. So, from the start, Tudor positions itself as a manufacturer of quality watches at more accessible prices than those of the Rolex brand. This extremely clear DNA allows Tudor to position itself on innovation illustrated by its brand signature: &ldquo;<strong>Born To Dare</strong>&rdquo;.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Tudor brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">From the 1950s, Tudor began to forge its own identity, although still associated with Rolex. In 1954, the brand launched the Oyster Prince Submariner model, affirming its position in diving watches. This watch featured exceptional water resistance, making it particularly popular with professional divers and water sports enthusiasts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 1960s and 1970s were marked by the development of partnerships with professional organizations. <strong>Tudor watches have been chosen by the French Navy and the US Navy</strong>, attesting to their robustness and reliability. The launch of the Tudor Prince Oysterdate Chronograph model, more commonly known as the "Big Block", in the 1970s is another important milestone for the brand. It was the first automatic chronograph with a date, a technological feat for its time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since it was taken over by Rolex in 1936, Tudor focused until the 1970s on professional models from the Rolex professional collection. The 80s allowed the brand to begin to free itself from it without offering models that would mark history.</p>

Tudor is no longer just a sub-brand of Rolex.

<p dir="ltr">In conclusion, if you are looking for a watch combining the prestige of a great watchmaking company and remarkable value for money, Tudor is undoubtedly a choice to consider. Although the official Tudor website presents a plethora of information on their collections, the&nbsp;<strong>Dialicious Owners' Reviews</strong> can prove to be a valuable guide in your decision-making process.</p>
<p dir="ltr">(Updated September 2024)</p>

The matte blue ceramic combined with the matte blue dial, the case and the warm-toned titanium bracelet give this watch a strong character! Its manufacture movement appeared in 2015 with this blue version (previously, it only existed in black equipped with an ETA) is rather light for the size of this 42mm diver (142gr) allowing with its helium vave a water resistance to 500m. Hyper readable at night, one of the most functional bracelets on the market with its patented extension naturally adapting to the size of the wrist according to the temperatures, I regret that it does not benefit from a cyclops allowing greater readability of the date and a wider crown. Tudor titanium for someone who is precocious is resistant, not marking more than that, a blue eraser allows to catch up on micro scratches but remains less easy to maintain than steel once deep scratches appear. Otherwise it is an exceptional watch to have as a tool watch or in a diver's collection. Prices have increased significantly since its release in 2012 from €3,380 to €4,860 in 2023.
