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.
