So looks like the cat is out of the bag for Tudor this year at Baselworld.

What's pretty different with this Tudor is the in-house movement with silicon balance spring (COSC certified), and power indicator. Whuuuuuhh?


Not my cup of tea, reminds me of an IWC to be honest.


What do y'all think?

I like the case. It reminds me of the old Oysterquartz model Datejust.

Display caseback to show the undecorated ugly movement? I have seen 21j DG's look better then that.

Not a big fan.
Just saw a pic of a Blue Pelagos that was released too.

I'd love to see a rep of the north flag. I really like the look of it. Is the in-house movement the challenge?

This looks like an Omega Aqua Terra 15,000 Gauss, Rolex Explorer, and a Omega Speedmaster Mark II had a threesome and out came this monster. I feel this one will grow on me though. The great thing about Tudor though is they get the freedom to explore and have some fun with new styles while their big Rolex parents keep on a strict diet of "staying pure" and never changing. Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone can be refreshing.

I'm surprised about the cold welcome this watch is getting. I think the fully brushed case/bracelet, bracelet integration, "tactical" looking dial, leads to a pretty serious looking adventure watch, that would still look at home under the cuff of a nice blazer.

How much and how do you like it?

Paid £2500 but got the dealer to throw in the the Leather Bracelet. Also got the 1st 4 issues of the Rolex Magazine... So did well out of the deal.

As for how I like it.... I love it,, to be honest the leather looks much better than on the steel bracelet

Not bad at all. Definitely looks worth it to me.

Really like the watch. Being picky, I wish the power reserve indicator could come in something other than yellow. Not really my color.
