the desire

<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>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated September 2024)</p>

The watch that could be the last one to stay in my collection. It adapts to all situations and ticks a lot of boxes. ✔️Aesthetics 🥰
✔️ Proportions 👌
✔️ Quality ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
✔️ Weight 🪶 (titanium does its job well, a hundred grams on the scale)
✔️ Comfort 😙 (the bracelet with its fine adjustment is perfect to adapt to all wrists)

Ticks so many boxes, a must!

Hello everyone, I am the owner of this Pelagos 39 that I can't let go of for more than 3 days.
It is versatile, comfortable, extraordinarily precise and the readability is great.

The best part is when I go into a tunnel, the luminescence on the bezel and the indexes are magnificent.

And what I love is the second hand with the black back like the dial, it is ghostly and you can see it when it superimposes the hour and minute hands which are white.

Not to mention the adjustable titanium bracelet, a top-notch comfort 😀

The downside is that it can get out of adjustment from time to time, nothing serious.

The Hidden Crown

Historically created in the 50s, this new TUDOR Pelagos 39 fourth of the name is a particularly interesting model with this 39 mm case, a more modest size, both masculine and feminine.
It remains a real diver with these 200M, without taking anything away from its charm, its technicality or its elegance.


TUDOR Pelagos 39mm AT THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN TWO WORLDS…

A basic to have in your collection. The ideal diver of the moment with its 39 mm, it ticks all the boxes and replaces my 14065M (which I keep of course...). This new Pelagos, in tandem with my BB58 Navy Blue, is the winning daily combo. I love its ceramic bezel with matte and shiny reflections depending on the lighting, and which brings a touch of modernity associated with the square indexes and its hands symbolizing the brand. I consume without moderation!!!

DAILY

I find this watch "pure" with dimensions that are perfect for me. Its black dial and snowflake hands give it unrivaled readability and the ideal combination of the dailywatch. Already the owner of a blue BB58, it brings sportiness and lightness thanks to the titanium. If I had to keep only one, it would be this one.

My 39th birthday present!

<p>Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, <strong>Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie</strong> en cr&eacute;ant des montres &agrave; la fois esth&eacute;tiques, &eacute;tonnantes et profond&eacute;ment symboliques.
