    • Tudor

    Tudor is a premium Swiss watchmaking brand drawing on a rich watchmaking heritage to offer a distinctive retro-chic style, with high-quality mechanics and finishing, for affordable prices. Since the brand name was registered for Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, in 1926, Tudor has benefited from Rolex’s watchmaking expertise, quality control, and service. Tudor and Rolex are the two brands in the portfolio owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, which was set up in 1945 by the founder. TUDOR was re-launched in 2007 with a distinctive personality and a high level of independence in its design, manufacturing, and communication. In September of 2013, TUDOR officially returned to the United States market and has since become a popular brand in its own right among watch enthusiasts both new and old.

    WATCH REVIEW

    Borrowed Time: A Week With the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze

    Bronze — like the proprietary aluminum-bronze alloy used in the case of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze reviewed here — is essentially made to change color. We explore the metal's ability to develop a distinctive, aged-vintage-look patina over the course of its wearing life giving each Tudor Heritage Black Bay bronze-cased dive watch a unique relationship to its owner.
