Feature: These Tudor watches are perfect for your first luxury watch
Dipping your toe into the enticing pool of luxury watches isn’t always easy. But with so many things to consider, we think we can make one decision a little easier for you—the brand. Tudor is understood to be a watchmaker that appeals to the discerning first-time buyer, and we agree. So, let’s take a look at five entry-level Tudor models that would fit the bill.
Tudor 1926
Tudor pays homage to—you guessed it—1926, the year Hans Wilsdorf founded his second watchmaking brand, the first being Rolex, of course. With a domed and embossed dial, the 1926 offers a retro look with the choice of an equally retro brown leather strap or steel bracelet.
Tudor Black Bay 36 M79500-0004
It wouldn’t be an article dedicated to Tudor if we didn’t mention the beloved Black Bay. This BB 36 comes in at just over £2,000 RRP making it a steal. Featuring Tudor’s iconic “Snowflake” hour hand, this Black Bay is the ultimate crowd pleaser with its understated navy-blue dial and classic steel bracelet and case—you just can’t go wrong.
Tudor Style
As in the name, the Tudor Style offers a chic watch—reminiscent of the Rolex Datejust—but for significantly less. With elegant, sophisticated lines the Style takes notes from traditional watches from the 1950s, all the way through to the groovy fashion from the 70s. All in all, this is a watch perfect for every occasion, whoever you are.
Tudor Pelagos M25600TB-0001
If you’re looking for Tudor’s answer to the Rolex Submariner, look no further. The Pelagos, with its 500m water resistance, is a handsome and robust dive watch and one of the brand’s most distinctive to date, with block hour markers and an unmistakably marine vibe.
Tudor Royal M28600-0003
Now, Tudor is classed as a great entry-level luxury watchmaker, and the Royal is the entry-level watch from the brand—but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a lot to offer. With its Royal Oak-esqué appeal, this is a stylish watch that comes with a sturdy steel bracelet with an array of different dial colours to choose from, as well as a choice of steel or yellow gold bezel—take your pick.
