Tudor: A Cheaper Rolex or Formidable Luxury?
Listen now
Description
We discuss Tudor's history and relationship to Rolex and dig into why they design and develop the watches they do. From a new watch company in 1920s Geneva to being brought under the Rolex name by Hans Wilsdorf, Tudor sought to provide watches with quality, style, and durability, at an affordable price. Today they offer a modern and affordable luxury watch that incorporates classic designs from Tudor and Rolex's of the past. We examine their lineup of GMTs, Divers, and Chronographs, including the Black Bay Pro and Black Bay 58, and how they stack up against their Rolex counterparts as well other brands in similar price points. We finish by discussing what we hope to see from Tudor in the future, and some watches we think may be resurrected next.
