Rolex and Tudor, new watches gathered in Chengdu in 2023

2023-10-12

he two major brands of the Rolex Group are familiar, so without going into details, we enter the time for appreciating new Rolex and Tudor watches in 2023 .

Rolex in 2023,

Continue to present classic masterpieces of lasting excellence.

At the " Watches and Miracles " Haute Horlogerie Exhibition on March 27 this year , Rolex released a number of masterpieces. In May of this year, almost all new watches came to Chengdu. This is completely different from the situation where you can only see very few watches when you go to the counters on weekdays . The media present expressed their joy! Got my wish! Now let’s introduce six of them.

Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36

This is one of the three new Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 watches launched by Rolex this year. The first one is recommended because of the green aventurine dial set against the 18K eternal rose gold. .

Gemstone dials have a large presence in many Rolex watches. If you count them carefully, Rolex should have presented hundreds of different gemstone dial configurations over the years. Because the texture of each gemstone is different, each gemstone disk is unique and cannot be copied.

From lapis lazuli and malachite to agate, turquoise, mother-of-pearl, and even meteorite dials, Rolex has presented them one by one, but this year’s green aventurine is equally stunning when it debuts.

We know that one of the most valuable parts of Rolex is the surface, and green surfaces are extremely rare. This green aventurine dial is surrounded by an 18K eternal rose gold case and inlaid with 18K pink gold hands and Roman numerals. This configuration is also unusual.

Since the Rolex Day-Date in 1956 became the world's first calendar watch with an arc window at 12 o'clock to display the full day of the week, this year's new Day-Date 36 also has an arc window at 12 o'clock as usual. The clock displays the day of the week in full (and offers 26 language options).

The date is easy to read under the magnifying glass of the small window at 3 o'clock.

Finally, let’s take a look at the Day-Date’s iconic “ Führer-type strap ” (named because many political dignitaries, CEOs and visionaries around the world have worn the Day-Date, and its strap is so recognizable. ).

There are three solid links, the middle link is polished and full of luster, and the surface of the outer link is frosted. The entire strap shows a high-end sense of nobility.

It is equipped with Rolex 3255 movement , which can run within plus or minus 2 seconds per day and has a power reserve of 70 hours.

Like all Rolex watches , the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 36 has also received the Superlative Chronometer certification established by Rolex in 2015.

This unique title proves that each watch has successfully passed a series of tests in Rolex laboratories, and its accuracy is much higher than the standard of precision timepieces certified by the Swiss Official Observatory. It enjoys a global five-year warranty.

Oyster Perpetual 31, 36 and 41

At first glance, this year’s new Oyster Perpetual seems to be very different from the series that has been around since 1926. This dial full of colorful bubbles has a sense of celebration.

It is also a gem dial, but it has a blue paint effect on turquoise, covered with candy pink, turquoise blue, yellow, coral red and green bubbles.

Who says Rolex is a conservative watch manufacturer? From the butterflies, palms and floral patterns in this series in recent years, to this year’s multicolored bubbles, which is considered to be the most colorful Rolex so far, Rolex is also interesting and fun.

After adding colorful bubbles, the watch is no longer a daily time display tool, but also displays the atmosphere of life we need every day: happiness, peace, eternity, gratitude, faith, love and hope.

The watch itself inherits all the outstanding qualities of the Oyster Perpetual series - precise timing , waterproof Oyster case , perpetual oscillating weight , and self-winding movement .

This Oystersteel model is guaranteed to be waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, making it sturdy and reliable. This also proves that Rolex in my mind is innovative, precise and exquisite. Look at the polished stainless steel, which is as exquisite as a smooth mirror.

I also like the baguette-shaped hour markers of this watch, which are made of 18K white gold and are neatly integrated into the celebration together with the Rolex crown at 12 o’clock.

Oyster Perpetual Navigator

The Navigator is a high-end watch designed by Rolex for global travelers. It can display the time in two time zones at the same time, as well as the date and month.

This series is regarded as Rolex’s most complex watch, and it is highly recognizable because of its 24-hour second time zone ring and magnifying glass calendar. Three new watches have been launched this year——

An 18K Everose gold model with an Oyster bracelet and an elegant turquoise dial . ▽

White gold steel model with a fresh mint green dial . ▽

18K white gold case, glossy black dial with black rubber Oysterflex strap . ▽

There are four lines of characters on the dial: the first line is SKY-DWELLER . Dweller's English meaning is: a person who inhabits a particular place. In the world of Rolex, there are only two watches that use the word DWELLER. One is the Deepsea
SEA-DWELLER with a waterproof depth of 3900 meters , and the other is today’s two-place SKY-DWELLER. The status of the Navigator in the Rolex family can also be seen from this.

The second line is OYSTER PERPETUAL waterproof certification , 100 meters waterproof.

The third and fourth lines are: SUPERLATIVE CHORNOMERTER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED super observatory certification .

This year, these three new Navigator models are equipped with the 9002 movement , which is an innovation and upgrade based on the 9001 type. Rolex has a characteristic that all its changes are incremental , step by step, just to make the movement work better.

Model 9001 is already one of the complex functional movements designed by Rolex. It has been installed on the Pilot since its inception in 2012. It has outstanding performance in terms of accuracy and reliability, power reserve and ease of use.

This time, model 9002 is upgraded with Rolex’s patented Chronergy escapement system.

This escapement is made of nickel-phosphorus alloy and is not affected by strong magnetic fields . The movement is equipped with a blue Parachrom hairspring , which is made of a unique paramagnetic alloy cast by Rolex. Even if the temperature changes, the hairspring still works very stably.

In addition, the hairspring balance assembly is equipped with a high-performance Paraflex cushioning device designed and patented by Rolex , which further improves the shock resistance of the movement, which also reflects Rolex’s pursuit of excellence.

The daily travel time error is within plus or minus two seconds, and the power reserve is 70 hours.

The shape of the Navigator remains unchanged, with a diameter of 42 mm and a thickness of 14 mm. In order to accommodate Rolex’s most complex 9002 movement, this thickness is also acceptable.

After you get started, the weight is not bad, and you will be attracted by its functionality and ignore everything else.

The red arrow under the crown points to the second time zone of the 24-hour circle, making it easy to adjust the time. After pulling out the crown, turn the bezel to the far left to adjust the second time zone, and the local time pointer will follow.

Turning the bezel to the middle will allow the 24-hour bezel to rotate accordingly by adjusting the time where the watch is located. When the bezel is turned to the far right, it is the calendar adjustment under the magnifying glass at 3 o'clock.

At the same time, this watch can also display the month . Have you seen the small frame at the top of the time scale? When the current month appears, the small frame will light up in red. The current date of the watch is: August 28.

This kind of function surprised me when I saw it a few years ago. The patented Ring Command system hidden under the triangular grooved bezel connects the innovative interface of the rotating outer ring, winding crown and movement, allowing the wearer to The reader can quickly, easily and safely adjust various timepiece functions of the watch, which is amazing.

At the same time, this watch is also equipped with another exquisite patented device of Rolex- Saros Annual Calendar . It can automatically distinguish between 30-day or 31-day months and display the time correctly throughout the year. Only March 1 every year needs to be adjusted, because February only has 28 or 29 days.

Generally speaking, the Oyster Perpetual Navigator is very playable, and it is also the watch that I spent the longest time "appreciating" on site.

Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42

This is the second Rolex watch made of RLX titanium . Since the first one was too large and suitable for collection rather than wearing, the 2023 one can also be understood as a Rolex in a sense. The brand’s first “normal-sized”, wearable RLX titanium watch .

Rolex watches have never been designed with "lightness" in mind. Most of their watches are quite substantial, especially precious metal watches. On the contrary, we like the feeling of being heavy on our hands.

But starting from the first RLX titanium watch launched in 2019, we have been looking forward to its upgraded version. Because as an ultra-light alloy, RLX titanium is very suitable for use in watch cases due to its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance.

The large size of 42 mm and the lighter weight given by RLX titanium will give Rolex more room to play.

The most challenging aspect of making an RLX titanium watch is the surface treatment and polishing of the titanium material . On this Yacht- Master 42 watch, Rolex should have put a lot of effort into polishing the titanium metal to make the watch look brand new (this treatment is so good that it almost reaches the texture of a Rolex steel watch).

The frosted texture can be clearly seen on the sides of the middle case and the buckle cover on the edge of the strap link. The chamfering of the top edges of the lugs is shiny, bright and shiny, and the position of the crown shoulder guard has been polished, demonstrating the fine processing skills of top-level watches everywhere.

The dial is a matte black dial in the Yacht-Master style that we are familiar with . The oversized two-way rotating outer ring is matched with a matte black Cerachrom ceramic word ring. Reading time and date are clear at a glance.

Therefore, this watch is also a key model of Rolex this year. It is rare to polish the surface of titanium to the same perfection as stainless steel and return it to a normal wearable size.

Look forward to more series and styles of RLX titanium in Rolex watches in the future.

Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona

Even before this year’s new watch was unveiled, we were full of curiosity. 2023 is an important year for Rolex. It is the 60th anniversary of the birth of the Cosmograph Daytona, which established the brand’s legendary status. What kind of commemorative watch will Rolex launch?

Ten years ago, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Cosmograph Daytona, Rolex launched a platinum Daytona with an ice blue dial and a brown ceramic bezel . Since the debut of that anniversary watch, the Daytona has become one of the most famous and coveted luxury watches in the world. It is also the hardest model to find in specialty stores and has attracted many collectors. Coveted.

On its 60th anniversary this year, Rolex released the new Cosmograph Daytona, which also made progressive changes to optimize the watch.

The devil is in the details. The diameter of 40 mm remains unchanged. Rolex redesigned the Oyster case to make the lugs larger, the overall outline more prominent, and it looks more modern.

The ice blue plate with transparent back is one that has attracted much attention this year. The 18K gold automatic rotor can be seen through the bottom cover of the watch. You can see the Rolex Geneva ripples on the plywood of the 4131 movement. The adjacent decorative patterns are dotted with micro-polished pit patterns. The bottom layer is decorated with fish scale patterns. A large number of brushing and chamfering treatments are all Rolex’s top quality. The embodiment of watchmaking craftsmanship.

This time on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Cosmograph Daytona, Rolex is also rare to show you the bottom of the professional sports watch for the first time.

Perpetual model 1908

1908 is the year when Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf named Rolex and registered the Rolex trademark in Switzerland. Therefore, this series is not only Rolex’s new formal watch, but its style also seems to bring us back to the a century ago.

It has both traditional elegance and modern style.

At 39 mm in size, the dial design is simple and elegant, with an 18K case, hour markers, Arabic numerals and hands. There is a small circle at the end of the hour hand, and the minute hand is shaped like a double-edged sword. At first glance, it shows the noble temperament of every detail that has been carefully designed.

There is a small seconds dial at 6 o'clock, and the words "Superlative Chronometer" are written in the curved window above. The equipped 7140 movement is 50 meters waterproof, has a 66-hour power reserve, and the daily time error does not exceed plus or minus two seconds.

The perfectly polished double border and the triangular grooved outer ring instantly identify Rolex. Combined with the round arch design, the slim case also has a graceful curve when viewed from the side.

Looking at a watch like this, you will imagine that the aesthetic style of 1908 may have been like this. It was so luxurious and elegant that everything felt just right.

Moreover, the Perpetual 1908 is also a see-through watch. Because it is done well enough, it generously shows you the smallest details in the movement.

During the watch viewing session for the media that day, Rolex even removed the strap so everyone could appreciate its polishing craftsmanship! Really, under the ordinary lights of the hotel, the entire movement looks like it is glowing on its own!

This is Rolex, committed to perfecting every component, studying various technologies, striving to fully master the watchmaking process, and ultimately presenting a number of new masterpieces.

And these watches, starting in 2023, will also last forever. If you see one at the counter, buy it quickly. After all, Rolex watches are really popular and hard to buy now!

Tudor watches move forward steadily in 2023

In 1926, Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf registered the trademark “The TUDOR ”. In 1946, Montres TUDOR SA was officially founded . The watches produced followed the quality concept respected by Rolex, and the prices were more acceptable to the public.

At the 2012 Basel Watch Fair , Tudor set up its own exhibition hall away from Rolex for the first time and began the brand's independent journey. It was also in 2012 that the first Black Bay watch with a burgundy outer ring was officially launched, becoming the most dazzling star among Tudor watch series.

In 2015, Tudor launched its original mechanical movement for the first time, which is completely different from the Rolex movement and the ETA movement used by most Tudor watches before . In 2016, the Kenissi watchmaking center was officially established. It is not only committed to producing Tudor watch movements, but also providing high-performance mechanical movements to other brands.

At this year’s 2023 Geneva Watches and Miracles Exhibition, the Tudor Watchmaking Center , which took three years to build , was officially unveiled. This center brings together cutting-edge watchmaking technology, efficient production management, and automatic testing systems, marking that Tudor has fully mastered the production capacity of core watch components and can guarantee its stable quality.

If you sort out the history of Tudor watches, you will find that if Tudor watches have existed as a subsidiary brand of Rolex for a long time, they have now evolved step by step and grown into a brand with excellent quality, accuracy , reliability and affordable prices . Swiss high-end watchmaking brand .

The feeling that the Tudor watch gives me is that it moves forward step by step, in a down-to-earth manner, and does not escape the aura and blessing brought to it by Big Brother. This is already the attitude of a brave man. Looking back, it has worked hard enough to win the position and honor of today's Swiss high-end watch brand . It is a deserved reward and an unexpected surprise.

Standing in 2023, what new watches will Tudor bring?

Last Tuesday, TUDOR came to Chengdu. After looking at the watches in general, what impressed me most was the two-color dials of the three Black Bay series (Black Bay 54, Black Bay Greenwich, and Black Bay series) and the Royal series (Chocolate). Brown dial and salmon pink dial), enter the watch time below.

Black Bay, Biwan

When buying a watch, you should buy the watch with the most brand soul. Lange is the Lange 1, TAG Heuer is the Monaco series , Breitling is the aviation chronograph series, and Tudor is the Black Bay.

Biwan type 54

One of the most unexpected new models in the newly released Tudor series this year is the Black Bay 54. It is inspired by the first Tudor diving watch originally launched in 1954 , and returns to the classic 37 mm . It is the size of the first diving watch in 1954 .

The Black Bay series was originally launched in 2012, inspired by antique diving watches, and also pays tribute to iconic watches in the history of Tudor watches. Therefore, the retro style has always been a major feature of the Black Bay series, but the original Black Bay series catered to the needs of the market at that time. Under the completely retro appearance, the case size was set at 41 mm, and it achieved great success once it was launched. .

In 2018, the Black Bay 58 also came in a 39mm size, but people who like antique watches prefer watches that are smaller in size and are historically accurate. So this year, the 37mm Black Bay 54, which is the same as the first diving watch, was grandly launched.

This classic 37mm size feels just right for both men and women.

The Black Bay 54 is equipped with two straps, a three-link steel strap and a black rubber strap , both of which are equipped with Tudor’s “T-fit” quick-adjust buckle .

The feature of this buckle is actually an extension system of ceramic ball bearings, which allows the wearer to adjust to different length positions without the assistance of any tools, achieving an adjustment length of 8 mm on the buckle.

Perfect for the subtle differences in wrist comfort between summer and winter, and for easy and convenient length adjustment when exchanging watches with your significant other.

Back to the dial design, the Black Bay 54 is also a very pure tribute to the brand’s first diving watch in 1954.

The one of that year used a " small crown " design and did not have a red triangle mark at 12 o'clock. The Black Bay 54 also followed this tradition.

The 60-minute stainless steel one-way rotating outer ring has no dense scale marks and maintains the overall retro aesthetic. And the outer ring has a slight downward slope as a whole, echoing the slight round arched dome presented by the dial.

On the matte black dial, the “ snowflake ” angular hands are still a major symbol of Tudor diving watches. Coupled with the pencil- shaped minute hand and lollipop second hand, the Black Bay 54 has a strong Tudor look. Table identification.

Powered by the original Tudor movement MT5400 , this movement is used in many Tudor watches currently produced. It is characterized by being equipped with a non-magnetic silicon hairspring, which makes the travel time accurate and stable. It has been certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC), and the travel time error is only within 6 seconds (-2+4).

Another feature of the MT5400 is the power reserve of up to 70 hours , allowing you to take off the watch on Friday night. You don’t need to rewind and adjust it when you go to work on Monday morning. You can put it on and use it immediately.

When looking at watches on site, everyone liked this new small model - Biwan 54. While paying tribute to the first model, it does not completely copy it, but brings a more modern aesthetic and design.

I hope to see other color versions of the Black Bay 54 at some point in the future, and also to see that the 37mm size can be expanded to more Black Bay series. This is something worth looking forward to.

Biwan 54 , 200 meters waterproof, five-year transferable warranty, price: 28,800 yuan (steel strap), 27,200 yuan (black rubber strap).

Black Bay Greenwich

New egg white dial

The Black Bay series Greenwich watch, Black Bay GMT , is characterized by its multi-time zone function . In addition to the regular display of the time where the watch is located, it can also display the time in other time zones at the same time, which is suitable for travelers and those who need time in two places. For business people, it is an extremely practical complex function.

The original Black Bay GMT-Master was released in 2018 with a burgundy and dark blue rotating outer ring and a black dial. Subsequently, Tudor launched a more mysterious and exotic gold steel model. This year, while maintaining the two-color outer ring, a new dial color- opaline was added .

Different from pure white, the protein-colored dial has been electroplated and has a silvery luster and white-gray matte texture under the light. It matches particularly well with the classic color matching of dark blue and burgundy, giving it a bit of an aviation watch feel.

I have to admit that the protein-colored dial forms a clear contrast with the time scales and hands, making it clearer and easier to read the time.

The size of 41 mm is also suitable for women who love to wear large watches.

Like the Black Bay 54, it is 200 meters waterproof, has a 70-hour power reserve, is certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (daily error is between -2+4), and has a five-year transferable warranty.

The movement is also the original Tudor movement , the MT5652 specially developed for the Black Bay GMT-Master, which brings together multi-time zone functions, independent hour adjustment and retrograde date settings.

At the same time, the protein plate is equipped with two kinds of watch straps. The steel watch strap is priced at 32,300 yuan, and the textured watch strap is 29,900 yuan, which is exactly the same as the previous black watch price.

This textured strap is also a major feature of Tudor watches. It can be traced back to 2010. Tudor watches were also one of the first watchmaking brands to use textured straps.

This kind of watch strap is made by a company called Julien Faure in the Saint-Etienne region of France. This company has a history of 153 years. Woven using traditional techniques on nineteenth-century jacquard looms, they are of high quality and comfortable to wear.

The black textured strap equipped for the GMT-Master this time has a burgundy stripe in the middle, which echoes the outer ring of the watch and is quite suitable for summer wear.

As another product of the GMT-Master black plate, the protein plate is another family expansion of the Tudor Black Bay series, and it looks really refreshing.

Biwan watch

Innovation to the third generation

The first generation was in 2012. The first Biwan watch with a burgundy outer ring was born.

The second generation, in 2015, the Black Bay watch debuted for the first time equipped with the original Tudor movement.

The third generation, 2023, is the second decade of the young Biwan series. Tudor is also eager to upgrade the brand’s most star series and usher in another innovation.

The appearance and performance of the new Biwan watch are quite similar to those of its predecessors, with the same burgundy one-way rotating outer ring, 41 mm size, 200 meters of water resistance, 70 hours of power reserve, and “snowflake” hands.

However, some subtle new improvements have also been made, such as the overall body is slimmer, the sides of the one-way rotating outer ring are easier to grasp, and the numbers on the word ring also present an arc shape, consistent with the outline of the outer ring.

So what is the point of the third generation of innovation? The line below the 200-meter waterproof mark at six o'clock on the dial reads: MASTER CHRONOMETER.

It means that this new Black Bay watch has obtained the Master Chronometer Certification from the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS), an independent authority .

Master Chronometer Certification was first proposed by Tudor's competitor Omega. It was not until Tudor launched the Black Bay Ceramic Master Chronometer in 2021 that everyone suddenly realized that "Observatory Chronometer Certification" is not unique to Omega . Tudor The watch also joins the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology’s certification game.

This certification standard is more stringent than the Swiss Official Observatory Certification (COSC).

COSC requires that the average daily error of the movement time should not exceed 10 seconds (-4+6).

The universal internal standard of Tudor watch original movement is no more than 6 seconds (-2+4).

Master Chronometer Certification, no more than 5 seconds (0+5), it can be seen that watches with this certification are more accurate.

But it’s not just that, the more important certification part is: antimagnetic performance. The watch is required to run smoothly and maintain accurate time in a high magnetic field environment of 15,000 Gauss .

▼The words Master Chronometer Certification are also engraved on the plywood of the Biwan watch movement. This is a great honor.

Do you know whose main battlefield is anti-magnetic? Omega.

In the watch industry, the most practical function in the past ten years may be high anti-magnetic, and the brand that sets the standard is Omega. In 2013, Omega was the first to launch a highly anti-magnetic watch, which for the first time pioneered the problem of inaccurate timekeeping due to the influence of magnetic fields.

In the past, solving the antimagnetic problem relied on an antimagnetic inner watch case. However, Omega took a different approach and selected a variety of non-ferromagnetic metal materials to create an antimagnetic movement, which makes the movement fundamentally immune to the influence of magnetic fields, even if it is exposed to more than 15,000 gauss. It can also keep accurate time even in a strong magnetic field.

In 2015, Omega set a higher standard on the basis of high anti-magnetic, the Master Chronometer chronograph movement, and applied this technology to the brand's entire series.

Accuracy is the prerequisite for watches. Today we live in a world where magnetism exists everywhere. Anti-magnetic and accurate travel time are new requirements for watches. Omega is setting and leading new standards and becoming the first to obtain the Brands certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology have stood out among the others for a long time.

In 2018, Baume & Mercier launched the brand’s first movement with high-strength anti-magnetic performance, which can resist magnetic field interference of 1,500 Gauss.

In 2020, Oris ’s self-produced movement ORIS 400 can withstand strong magnetic field interference of 2,250 Gauss.

I just didn’t expect that Tudor would come out quietly in 2021 and directly enter the field of Omega’s high anti-magnetic field. With its high performance in resisting 15,000 Gauss magnetic field interference, it became the second one to obtain the Swiss Federal Metrology Scientific Research . Institute certified brand.

With precise travel time, high antimagnetic properties, self-produced movements, and restrained prices, Tudor’s moat has become deeper and deeper after achieving technological breakthroughs.

You now know the upgrade and iteration of the third-generation Black Bay watch. It has been officially certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology for its excellent precision travel time and high anti-magnetic performance , becoming the third time that Tudor has received this certification. surface.

Perhaps in the near future, it can also be expected that the Master Observatory precision timepiece certification will be extended to the entire Black Bay series.

In addition to the movement, this year’s Black Bay watch also has an update, which is the choice of strap.

A more sporty black rubber strap (the watch is priced at 31,100 yuan), an oval five-link steel strap (33,500 yuan), and a three-link steel strap (32,700 yuan).

All three straps are equipped with Tudor’s “T-fit” buckle, which can adjust the length by 8 mm, which is a very practical function.

I prefer the five-link steel strap. After being brightly polished, the five-link strap is more eye-catching under the light from different sides. Let me show you the comparison chart between five links and three links.

Overall, this year's Black Bay family continues to grow and diversify, with subtle visual updates, more powerful original movements, and innovations in the first model of the Black Bay series, the first diver's watch in 37mm size. All tributes point to the glorious future of this series family in the next decade.

Tudor Royal Series

The Royal Series can be traced back to the 1950s. For consumers who want to look for a classic and modern watch from Tudor that is not too sporty, the Royal Series is a watch worth looking at.

This year, in addition to retaining the iconic features of all other series (one-piece metal strap integrated with the case + decorative fluted outer ring), the Royal series has launched two new colors - chocolate brown dial and salmon pink dial . .

And each color comes in four sizes: 41mm, 38mm, 34mm and 28mm. You can also see that the Royal series targets both male and female customers, and the new colors launched are also suitable for both men and women.

This kind of very inclusive size selection can also be seen in other series of Tudor watches. The temperament of watches is becoming more and more contemporary. The high-end genderless style can be controlled by both men and women, and this is also a major trend.

You’ll see that the chocolate brown and salmon pink colors perform just as well on the smaller diamond-encrusted 28mm version as they do on the larger Roman numeral 41mm dial.

And on the chocolate brown dial, the Tudor watch gives a two-tone medieval feel, adding gold material to the case and dial, which looks warm, nostalgic, and very beautiful.

The spaced links in the middle of the gold steel strap are also very clever. If you look carefully at the polishing and edge processing of the Tudor watch, the overall look is very smooth and it is quite comfortable to wear.

I have worn the watch myself, and my favorite is the 41mm salmon pink color.

The one-piece metal strap integrated with the case looks majestic and smooth. The polished finish of the pitted outer ring of the case and the pitted cutting are spaced apart from each other, making it highly recognizable.

The date display at 3 o'clock and the day of the week in a large window at 12 o'clock add to the practicality of the watch.

Salmon pink has been a popular dial color in recent years, and Tudor finally launched it this year after a long delay. The luster of the stainless steel material interacts with the salmon pink tone, and it is very stunning when you first get it (there is still a slight color difference when photographed under the light) , I went to a specialty store to try it myself).

The above are some of my favorite watches at this Chengdu New Watch Appreciation Fair.

Another great thing about Tudor watches is that all the watches I saw that day were already available for purchase in specialty stores at the same time. This distribution speed is too powerful. Even at the WW Watch Show in March this year, all the latest new watches released in the exhibition hall could be purchased immediately at the limited-time boutique in Geneva where Tudor watches made their debut.

The brand’s press release at that time was titled like this——

Tudor limited-time boutique makes stunning debut in Geneva

For the first time, new products across the entire line: not only visible, but also available for purchase!

The goods have been distributed at the same time as the release. Such speed is rare in the field of fine watchmaking. It would be difficult to do without the support of the Tudor Watchmaking Center and the Cornish Watchmaking Center, which were just unveiled this year. Next time we will look for an issue and we will introduce this center specifically.

Back to Little Red Shield.

From the beginning of the creation of Tudor, Hans Wilsdorf hoped that it would become an affordable alternative to Rolex. Tudor has moved step by step towards 2023. In addition to its consistent affordable price , it has also passed Diverse designs , self-made movements , and 100% Swiss manufacturing have found their own place and reputation, and have found the voice of young people through activities and brand ambassadors, winning the favor of young people.
