TUDOR Royal

 

Royal is a name first used by TUDOR in the 1950s to emphasise the superior quality of its watches. The TUDOR Royal range is part of this heritage in that it offers automatic sport-chic watches with integrated bracelets that are as affordable as they are uncompromising. Cutting-edge technical performance and refined aesthetic are characteristic of this range, which sits at the crossroads between classic and sports watches and comes in stainless steel or stainless steel and gold and is offered in 4 sizes with 9 possible dials.

 

 

 

Since its creation in 1926, TUDOR has endeavoured to produce the best possible watches at the best possible price. This daring mission, both then and now, derives from the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the brand. Inventor of the cornerstones of modern watchmaking: precision for a wristwatch, waterproofness and a self-winding mechanical movement – he dared to dream of a timepiece that would be both technically perfect and affordable and created the TUDOR brand to make it. The TUDOR Royal range is a key example of this uncompromising heritage and promises its future owner nothing less than the best possible quality at the best possible price. Produced in Switzerland from a block of 316L stainless steel, one of the most robust in existence, the case of the TUDOR Royal models is waterproof in any situation and to a depth 100 metres (330 ft) below the surface of the ocean thanks to its screw-down winding crown and back. Although it is invisible, its movement, the epitome of Swiss expertise in micro-mechanics, is finely decorated and regulated according to the best chronometric standards of the watchmaking industry.  And lastly, without fuss or noise, its “five-link” bracelet is distinguished by the quality of its design, manufacture and finish. All these features and a lot more lend to the celebrated quality offered by TUDOR, a philosophy encapsulated by its brand signature, #BornToDare … always to do better.

 

 

The TUDOR Royal range is the epitome of balance, elegance and versatility. The details of its design give it a unique personality, especially its characteristic notched bezel with its alternating surface polish and cut grooves.  With its integrated metal bracelet, ensuring an uninterrupted line with the case, TUDOR Royal boasts fluidity and an assured style. Characterised by its three wide satin-brushed links set between two slimmer polished elements, the smooth quality of its surfaces, and, above all, its edges emphasise the attention paid by TUDOR to comfort on the wrist. Available in stainless steel, or with alternating links in stainless steel and yellow gold, the models in this range cater to every taste owing to the intricacy of their finish. Available in four sizes, TUDOR Royal is designed to fit any wrist size. The 41 mm version is particularly distinctive as its mechanical movement displays the day at the same time as the date.

 

 

The TUDOR Royal range makes the sunray motif on its dials its own. In black, silver, champagne-colour or blue, this motif, which radiates from the centre of the dial, creates the lighting effects and flattering reflections responsible for the elegance of this line. They are completed by a version in diamond-set mother-of-pearl for the feminine versions. As a final touch of chic, TUDOR has added applied Roman numerals to its TUDOR Royal watches.
