FROM BASEL, my meeting with Tudor
Hi All;
My meeting with Davide, the head of Tudor, was fruitful & really interesting. Here are some of the points we covered.
1. The watch will be available from June onwards
2 UK will start to get Tudor probably early next year; there are plans to reintroduce it in the US but they are not firmed up, yet.
3 The fabric strap is NOT a NATO strap, it is of a unique design; so far only used by Tudor; they suggest that the changing of straps is done by a dealer, due to the fact that there are no spring bar holes in the case. The reason for the unusual strap construction is that they do not want the watch moving around on your wrist, which can happen with the classic NATO band.
4 Interestingly, at a time when Rolex are going over to right angle corners on their lugs, Tudor will be sticking with the classic polished bevel on the corner. You can see them perfectly on the image below.
5 Also visible in the image above are the black enamel tips to the pushers & to the crown, which also features a representation of the Tudor shield logo.
6 The movement is the ETA 2892 with a DD 2054 module; this was chosen over the much cheaper solutions because Tudor wanted to retain the classic 45 minute counter of the original, the setup used is similar to that used in several AP Royal Oak Offshore models, which are at a rather higher price point.
7 The strap is woven in Switzerland from a much softer fabric than used in the classic NATO bands and the three colours of Black, Grey & Orange reflect the three colours used on the dial.
8 There will be no cyclops on this watch or on any subsequent Tudor models, they are trying to move away from being Rolex 'clones'.
9 The watch is assembled in the same factory as Rolex by Rolex employees & the construction standards & QC are exactly the same.
10 The indices are different from the original, where they were printed onto the dial; here they are applied metal indices which are then filled with Luminova & even the Tudor shield at 12 is luminous.
11 Tudor do not plan to restrict production of this watch, if you want one & live in a country where it is sold, then you should be able to get one. They have contracted for 'Tens of thousands' of movements to be delivered in the next year.
12 Rolex have only one store in the world, Chronotime in Geneva; in August this year the store will have the world's first Tudor boutique, which will be rolled out throughout Rolex agents in the future.
13 By the way, I saw 3 Rolex/Tudor guys wearing the watch (of which there are around a dozen examples currently existing) and all of them had it on the fabric strap.
14 As a first for a watch from the Rolex group, the sapphire crystal has an anti reflective coating on the underside of the glass.
I hope that this helps, if you have any questions that you would like answered, let me know & I will do my best to put them to the company during the next day or so. |
