Tudor Prince Date-Day

In the past 10 years, Tudor has been doing a fantastic job with their contemporary offerings. Watches such as the Black Bay, Heritage Chronograph and Pelagos collections have been flying off the shelves for their impressive looks, sporty construction and aggressive price points. But their professional line doesn't tell the whole story of Tudor's rebirth.

This timepiece, a Reference 94510, is Tudor's answer to the Rolex Day-Date — offering a robust movement and a complication the Crown never offered in two-tone.

It features a 35mm yellow gold and stainless steel Oyster case with holey lugs, a sunburst champage Tritium dial with applied baton indices with a matching handset, a robust and proven automatic-winding ETA movement within, and one of our Analog:Shift suede leather straps with a steel pin buckle.

This awesome neo-vintage Tudor blurs the line between an all-out dress piece and a daily wearer, a combination that makes it an extremely attractive alternative to the more common — and expensive — Rolex option.

In short, this is one of those cases in which a timepiece is worth way more than the sum of its parts!

Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf created Tudor in 1926 for the everyman — for miners, construction workers and all sorts of tradesmen. For your everyday person Rolex was sometimes — and is now more so than ever — out of reach. It was meant for the explorer and the businessman, whereas Tudor was to be a different creature entirely.
In creating Tudor, Wilsdorf wanted to offer “a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standards of dependability for which Rolex is famous.”
Tudors were in many ways Rolexes in all but name, with the same waterproof Oyster cases and similar styling. However, in order to keep costs down, the brand used off-the-shelf Swiss movements rather than their own in-house calibres. What resulted were watches that were more affordable than Rolexes to the consumer, but still uniformly tough and reliable.
Today Tudor has certainly defeated any impression of being the redheaded stepchild of the Rolex family, and their current timepiece collection — as well as their vintage counterparts — are getting the recognition and respect they most rightfully deserve. From the colorful “Home Plate” chronograph to the complicated Advisor, these models often picked up where Rolex left off, daring to be more bold and playful in their design. And now that the brand has introduced in-house movements while still managing to keep pricing modest, the company is better poised than ever to win the hearts and minds of millions of new watch enthusiasts.
