Tudor Royal 38 Owner Review : Bold, timeless and majestic

For years, I have been gazing with fascination at this model from the Tudor house. Its finely crafted integrated bracelet, its crenellated bezel and the Roman numerals have always seduced me. I initially opted for the Tissot PRX, thinking that it was a more measured choice, less ostentatious and more sober. However, over time, it became too demure for my taste, and I parted with it. Inevitably, the Tudor Royal haunts my thoughts again. Initially attracted by the Day Date, I was put off by its imposing diameter for my wrist. So I set my sights on the smaller version. I could have, not long ago, succumbed to the silver model... but Watches and Wonders revealed the salmon dial, causing a real thunderbolt. Like an impressionist painting, the dial reveals a palette of changing colors, delicately shifting from bronze to pale pink, evoking the hues of a captivating twilight. Everything about this watch begs to play with light, as if Tudor had released this model to be contemplated for hours. Obviously, I find it perfect, although it has one flaw: its screw-down crown, which is not aligned. However, it is this imperfection that infuses this watch with a singularity, making it unique on my wrist. As Baudelaire so aptly said, "Beauty is always bizarre", and this Tudor Royal is the perfect illustration. Thus, this watch is much more than a simple timepiece. It embodies the subtle alliance of elegance and originality, harmoniously marrying refinement and sportiness, reminding us that perfection is not always synonymous with beauty and that poetry sometimes lies in the most unexpected details.
