Produced during a period of close collaboration with its parent company, this Oysterdate is equipped with the standard Oyster case for water resistance. The model features the updated shield logo on the dial, representing the firm's transition away from the earlier rose emblem used in previous decades.
The 34mm stainless steel case houses an automatic movement based on the ETA 2784. A patinated silver sunburst dial displays applied indices complemented by a date aperture positioned beneath an acrylic cyclops at three o'clock.
Conceived in 1926 by Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf, Tudor’s original mission was to offer the dependability of a Rolex at a more accessible price point, initially utilizing robust third-party movements within Rolex-supplied Oyster cases. The brand forged its own distinct identity through military adoption, most notably by the French Marine Nationale.
The modern era, heralded by the successful Black Bay collection, saw Tudor masterfully reinterpret this rich heritage for a modern audience. Their revival is strengthened by a strategic shift to produce calibres in-house, solidifying Tudor’s transition into a fully integrated watchmaker.
