Tudor

Black Bay and Royal

Black Bay is the collection that rebuilt Tudor's reputation, drawing on the brand's 1950s and 1960s divers: a domed crystal, snowflake hands and a rotating bezel, offered in 39mm, 41mm and in GMT, Chrono and Bronze variants. Many now carry the in-house MT5602 family of movements with COSC certification and around 70 hours of reserve.

Royal is the integrated-bracelet line, with a fluted bezel and a case and bracelet that flow together, offered from 28mm through 41mm and the deepest part of our Tudor inventory. Classic covers the more traditional round dress references.

Why Tudor

Tudor is the sensible answer to a specific question: you want Rolex-standard case and bracelet construction, tested to the same water resistance, without the waiting list or the price. The trade-off is a movement that may be ETA-based rather than in-house on older references, which matters less in practice than it sounds, and often makes servicing simpler.

Sizing across the line

Black Bay is offered at 39mm, 41mm and in a 32mm and 36mm form, and the 39mm is the one most people find easiest to live with. The bezel is wide, so it reads slightly larger than the number. Royal spans 28mm to 41mm from a single design, which makes it genuinely unisex. Tudor bracelets are solid-link with a folding clasp and, on many references, an on-the-fly adjustment.

Condition and paperwork

We inspect every Tudor in-house, check bracelet stretch and bezel action, and describe condition as we find it. Box and papers are noted where present. Pieces listed as price on request are available and quoted on enquiry, and we buy Tudor and take it in trade, including against Rolex.
