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.

Tudor knows many things—especially dress pieces of distinction. 

Behold the black-colored dial with its lovely sunray finish and elegant design sensibility. Notice the bold applied Roman numerals at 12, 6, and 9, which communicate a classic touch of iconic styling. 

While there is a convenient date window at 3, you will surely enjoy the eight diamond hour markers that deliver a bit of sparkle and catch the eye ever so subtly. Luminous hands make telling the time in low light a breeze, and there is also a center seconds hand as well as a minute track upon the outer edge of the dial.

The stainless steel case measures a comfortable 34 mm in diameter and a slim 10 mm in height. It rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp for added safety. The fixed bezel sports an attractive etched pattern and is a pleasure to touch. 

Additional features include a screw-down winding crown emblazoned with the Tudor logo, a 100 m / 10 atm water resistance, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. 

Tudor's self-winding mechanical automatic caliber T601 gives you a 38-hour power reserve.

From its luxuriously selected diamond hour markers to its sophisticated design aesthetic, this Royal by Tudor truly lives up to its regal name.
