Verzameling: Tudor

Tudor has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to 1926, when the brand was registered by Veuve de Philippe Hüther on behalf of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex. Wilsdorf envisioned a watch brand that could offer the same level of reliability and precision as Rolex, but at a more accessible price point. By 1946, the Montres TUDOR S.A. company was officially established, marking the beginning of an enduring legacy.

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Tudor watches became renowned for their robustness, gaining popularity with military and professional divers. The Tudor Submariner, introduced in 1954, was even used by the French Navy, proving the brand’s dedication to producing high-performance tool watches. While early Tudor models often shared Rolex components, such as cases, crowns and bracelets, Tudor distinguished itself with unique designs and reliable Swiss movements that provided exceptional value.

For many years, Tudor was closely linked with Rolex, benefiting from its reputation and technical expertise. However, in the 2000s, Tudor made the bold decision to step out of Rolex’s shadow and carve its own path. By 2010, the brand had fully rebranded, introducing modern collections such as the Heritage Black Bay and Pelagos, which quickly became favorites among watch enthusiasts. Today, Tudor stands firmly as an independent and innovative brand, celebrated for its blend of vintage inspiration and cutting-edge watchmaking.

At B&O Watches, we specialize in both new and vintage Tudor watches, with a particular focus on the Tudor Prince Date and Tudor Prince Date + Day models. These timepieces are often compared to the Rolex Datejust and Day-Date. At current price points, they offer outstanding value for money. With their refined aesthetics, reliable automatic movements and classic appeal, they are an excellent choice for collectors and everyday usage.
