Rolex
founder Hans Wilsdorf launched the Tudor Watch Company in 1946 in an
effort to offer the public reliable timepieces at affordable prices.
Since 2015, Tudor has been manufacturing in-house movements to much
acclaim.
First
off, this Prince Date delivers a cyclops magnifier over the date at 3
for quick and easy reading. Slightly raised Arabic numerals are nicely
offsetting royal blue lacquered dial with intricate decoration.
With
regard to the chronograph there is a center red-colored seconds hand as
well as a 30-minute counter at 12 and a 12-hour counter at 6. Its
oscillating pinion gives you a nice and smooth engagement when operating
the chronograph. As a self-winding automatic watch, under the hood we
find caliber Valjoux 7750 (Tudor signed), which offers 42 hours of
power.
This
Chrono Time Prince Oysterdate Tudor ditched the Plexiglas features
scratch-resistant sapphire with cyclopes lens. In addition, the high
polished bezel sports a handy tachymeter scale.
The
stainless steel case measures an all-around comfortable 40 mm in
diameter, 14 mm in height, and rests upon a leather strap with a folding
clasp. Look for a screw-down and protected winding crown as well as a
rating down to 100 m / 10 atm.
Sporty, yet sophisticated, consider adding this historic Tudor timepiece to your collection today.
Standout feature(s): Easy-to-read magnified date; chronograph with oscillating pinion for smooth operation; protected winding crown.
