Very interesting to see Tudor stepping up to a 500m rated diver, and I absolutely love those classic Tudor Snowflake hands!!!bravo.gif (great classic design all the way around IMO).

Close up views of the casework that I've seen indicate that this 42mm, Titanium, Satin finished case is a thing of beauty.

I'm completely digging it! thumbsup.gif





Tudor is introducing some cool ones at Basel....

...This Tudor Heritage Black Bay caught my eye too!!!! wowzer.gif

The name "Heritage" and the bezel reminds me of the Breitling line...homerthinks.gif

Beautifull watches , yes...But
I must say that I'm a bit deceived that a brand like Tudor still uses elaborated versions of the 2824-2 from ETA for both of those models.
From a brand of this range, I would expect at list a 2892-2 elaborated as IWC, Breitling and other brands in the same league are using.
http://www.tudorwatch.com/#/en/pelagos/movement/
Still, are we not entering a new age?
Seems like Tudor don't give a crap as well about any ETA movement's selling cuts in the next years: As they don't create any in-house calibers even for them chronometers.
Maybe they expect to then switch at last minute to Sellita versions or even more exclusive Rolex or Zenith calibers??
It's time to move on, other similar brands already been doing it with new chronometer calibers: Tudor still sleeps and ask big buks for some 2824-2...
If that's not arrogance, I don't know what it is.
Omega could use ETA movements for the rest of history as they are owned by Swatch-group but they are showing the way with them new in-house 8500: That's what I call asking $ for something such as innovation, daring creation and quality.
Big lesson there: Specially for a brand as Tudor(owned by Rolex) who really has the buks to develop new calibers but prefer to play the greedy-easy game, still sitting on it's old laurels crown and shocking horology's advance with others.
Or maybe they could't be anymore be the poor-man's Rolex because they would automatically come to them price range?
Meaning by that, they are already way overpriced.
I really understand why Mr Hayek was so pissed about those brands and initiated this ETA movements cut down, even it would mean less $ for him and Swatch-group...

I get where you're coming from Will ol'buddy.. although I can't afford neither a Tudor or a watch like IWC they do look super nice...

Now, in the case of the big bucks included in a purchase of that kind of watches, I would definitely buy watch with an elaborated movement (ala IWC).. ohh man you made me dream....my love.gifmy love.gif
