Tudor Watches - Born to Dare

From the enthusiastic adventurer to legendary sport heroes, Tudor Watches have quickly become a favoured brand for anyone who has an active lifestyle and wants a luxury Swiss made watch to complement their passions and personality.

This is certainly not the world's oldest watch brand, but it has nevertheless had quite an impact on the market and found an unshakable fan base. Founded in 1926, the company is based in Geneva and was registered at the request of Rolex founder, Hans Wilsdorf. Initially, the company was created as an affordable alternative to Rolex's more expensive models. To this day the brand remains a sister company to Rolex, manufacturing tool watches to a standard that can withstand the rough environment of divers and military personnel.

Through the 1960s and 1980s, a number of navies issued Tudor watches to their divers. Both the famous Navy SEALS and the French Marine Nationale helped to define and shape the brand as robust and rugged.

Their chronographs boast a unique style and an identity of their own. The first mechanically wound Tudor watch was launched in 1970. Called the Oysterdate Chronograph, it almost instantly won over watch lovers, partly thanks to its bright colours and the distinctive choice of pentagon hour markers. The unusual style of the dial also made this watch a truly outstanding accessory, ahead of its time in many ways.

The exceptional quality of these watches is also undeniable. Over the years, Tudor Watches have been defined by consistent improvement, in both their mechanical workings and their overall stunning designs. Each model is designed in such a way that it becomes a symbol of the era in which it was manufactured, while at the same time, it is able to stand out from others by having its own unique traits.

Tudor has truly earned its status in various sports fields as there are four successive catalogues of watches that fit into the sports industry. Watch lovers can rest assured of the quality they can look forward to when they buy a watch so closely linked to the world famous Rolex brand.
