Why customers love Tudor?

An exceptional piece that combines elegance and ideal proportions. Its dial offers perfect readability, and the thinness of the case makes it incredibly comfortable on the wrist. Since I acquired it, it has taken a central place in my collection, to the point of making me say goodbye to my Submariner 114060. A choice I don't regret for a second.

TUDOR releases this variant of the famous Black Bay 58 in GMT. Finally, with reasonable dimensions in 39mm, a nice evolution with its new movement : Manufacture Caliber MT5450-U (certified by COSC and METAS) Mechanical movement with bidirectional automatic winding by rotor Integrated GMT function Waterproof to 200 meters in accordance with the ISO standard Operation under a magnetic field of 15,000 gauss and variation in precision following this exposure Power reserve of 65 hours!!! Today it is a watch with a lot of quality and which remains at a reasonable price. (compare to the competition).

In 2018, the purchasing circumstances are as follows: an internal note is circulating to order certain end-of-series models from Tudor. The discounts are very significant, and there will not be one for everyone. It's about making a choice among the few remaining models/variants, and hoping to be chosen. First come, first served. I'm looking for something complementary to my current watch (chrono, black dial, no date). I like the steel style, so I'm going for a 3 hands, a white dial, and a date. The GranTour matches these choices. At this time, I still don't know much about what a watch technical sheet looks like. Just that it will be cheaper than my current one, and that suits me very well. The photos on the website help validate the choice. No real testing, let's go to order. Once arrived, the watch is impressive (the side is substantial, although the total thickness is only 11.1mm). Diameter that I find sturdy, beautiful shine, fineness of the indexes, down to the small line representing tenths of a second. I will use it alongside my previous watch. It is an important step to know when to use one or the other. The rule I end up choosing will be to use the GranTour for 5 months at winter time. Its snow-white dial will go perfectly during my activities on the heights. On the movement side, it is an ETA 2824-2. It is quite difficult to obtain information on this model. At first I found it frustrating, then with the years and experience coming, I took pleasure in having something barely recognizable on my wrist. And to be able to tell the story of this little-known model. There remains the difficult task of finding another compatible bracelet, in rubber, to personalize it further.

Today, I'm talking to you about a superb watch that deserves the full attention of lovers of beautiful pieces: the TUDOR Prince Day-Date in 36 mm, from the 2000s. We finally enter the world of vintage with this elegant watch, designed by Rolex. Its steel case and its 18-carat gold fluted bezel give it a timeless charm, as does its gold crown. The white porcelain-type dial, adorned with diamond-set indexes and refined black typography, adds even more character. With a water resistance of 100 m, it remains versatile and ready to face everyday life without fear. In terms of comfort, the bracelet is a real success: light, flexible and pleasant to wear, with a discreet but effective buckle. It is a perfect balance between elegance and practicality. This model, originally intended for the American and Asian markets, is today an ideal alternative to Rolex Day-Date watches. Less produced, therefore rarer, it represents an interesting option for enthusiasts in search of authenticity and distinction. For me, it is a real discovery. A watch with a beautiful history, a timeless design and finishes worthy of the greatest manufacturers, while remaining accessible on the vintage market. A real watchmaking pleasure! And you, what do you think of this TUDOR Prince Day-Date?

As a GMT and "tool" watch enthusiast, I was initially going for an Explorer II, and I was also able to try the 226570 at the same time as the Black Bay Pro (BB Pro)! Despite the availability of the Rolex, I only had eyes for the crown keeper. I appreciate this BB Pro first and foremost for its bezel, whose satin finish is very beautifully crafted. This bezel highlights a matte dial that oscillates between anthracite gray and black. It highlights studs made of a kind of ceramic and well-integrated snowflake hands. Obviously, the orange-yellow GMT hand energizes the design without overdoing it. The cream shade of the studs and hands brings a slightly vintage touch. Visibility is excellent during the day and the luminova is super powerful. Everything is enhanced by a domed sapphire crystal that gives beautiful distortions. The bracelet would have been more elegant without its rivets, but it is very comfortable! The "on the fly" adjustment system of the clasp of this BB pro is amazingly simple and effective. Besides, I like to change my strap regularly, I never considered it for this BB Pro. It is not a thin watch, I grant you, but when worn it is not shocking, especially thanks to harmonious proportions, a contained diameter of 39mm and an oversized signed crown; finally a mirror polish on the edge and fine chamfers finish off lightening the whole. She is an adventurer, she likes military shirts with rolled up sleeves; rest assured, a simple swimsuit is enough for her because she also enjoys swimming with its 200m water resistance. The "true GMT" caliber MT5652 (COSC) is very precise and easy to use. Ultimately, this BB pro is an efficient and comfortable watch that makes me smile every time I see that GMT hand set to the time zone of a city where I've had so many great times.

TUDOR is offering a new version of its Black Bay 39 models in steel and gold with a fixed bezel. Now equipped with Manufacture Calibers MT 5602 COSC, offered with a five-link bracelet and a quick-adjust “T-fit” clasp allowing the length to be changed on the fly. This new BLACK BAY brings a new aesthetic; the curves and cases offer a language that moves away from the TOOL WATCH spirit emblematic of the brand to embrace a sophisticated, versatile and unisex chic.

This is certainly the watch I wear the most on a daily basis. Its diameter is perfect. It goes with everything with its vintage sport chic side. I don't dive with it because I have other watches that are more suitable, price/risk ratio, but there is no doubt that it would do the job. It is really a watch that I think will never leave my collection.

The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic is a watch that stands out for its simplicity and comfort. Comfortable to wear, it is light on the wrist, which makes it ideal for everyday use. Its discretion is one of its major assets, it does not seek to attract the eye. Unlike some watches that shine brightly, this Tudor is rather discreet and does not attract the attention of certain people outdoors. Only connoisseurs will be able to recognize it thanks to the Tudor snowflake hands, its black case and its dark dial. The readability of the time is a crucial aspect for any watch. Thanks to its clear indexes and hands, which stand out clearly on the dark dial, it is easy to read the time at a glance. Precision is an essential characteristic for any watch worthy of the name, and the Tudor Ceramic is no exception. METAS certified, which ensures exceptional precision among other things, it benefits from Imperial precision, only losing one second per day for the one I have. In addition, its superb black caliber is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, offering a captivating mechanical spectacle. It is sold with two different straps, a hybrid in rubber and leather, as well as another in fabric, giving it appreciable versatility to adapt to different styles and occasions. However, despite its many assets, the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic is not without a few negative points. Some might regret the absence of an essential element to make it a true diver: a small luminova on the unidirectional bezel. This omission may seem strange on the part of Tudor, especially given the brand's reputation in the diving field. Additionally, the lack of a black ceramic or black PVD steel bracelet option may be disappointing to some watch enthusiasts, who would have appreciated this option to complement the dark aesthetic of the watch. Despite these few shortcomings, it remains a safe choice for those looking for a discreet and reliable watch from Tudor.

1st Tudor and instantly I became a fan boy :) Everything is there, the quality is omnipresent whether it is the case, the dials and the indexes, the crown, the Manufacture Caliber MT5602 (COSC), self-winding mechanical movement with bidirectional rotor system and offering 70 hours of power reserve. And even the bracelet that I find very comfortable, the buckle is very beautiful and very easy to open and close. These famous fake rivets do not bother me more than that, we do not see them and forget them very quickly, even if I agree that at this price, and the brand image of such a house, real rivets were probably the least we could do. A small detail also on this Black Bay, and never seen elsewhere at other houses, when you turn the bezel and return to the initial 0 position, you feel like it's slightly blocked, which means that you can put your bezel back in place without even looking at it, impossible to go too far and do a complete turn, it's a small detail, but it's exactly what we like! In short, completely charmed, so much so that I just bought the reverse panda chrono version! Yes, I've become a fan boy of the brand and I own up to it :)

How beautiful is this patinated adventurer from 1975. It could have been called Marine Nationale but my beauty is not engraved and yet I love it so much. Saved and restored by a watchmaker friend I do not know all the misfortunes it could have had, it keeps the scars and it is in great shape today. I will spare it the great depths that it would probably still assume. Its shades of blue are the most beautiful of the divers that I know, its slightly slobbery tritium indexes and hands seem to assume 50 years of real life outside of a very cozy trunk.
