TUDOR’s watchmaking philosophy combines heritage with cutting-edge technology and creativity. Founded by Rolex’s Hans Wilsdorf, TUDOR aims to provide the highest quality watch at the most accessible price. Founded in 1926, TUDOR have been making watches for many decades that are not only full of heritage but are also genuine tool watches that have been used by the likes of the French Marine Nationale and the US Marines.
Today, TUDOR remains faithful to its mission, at delivering excellence while reinterpreting history for a unique blend of tradition and innovation.
David Beckham, as a child, dreamed of becoming a football player. His unwavering passion propelled him to iconic status in the sport. With three major clubs and 115 appearances for the English national team, 59 as captain, he earned numerous accolades, including 6 England Championship titles, 2 MLS cups, and one UEFA Champions League victory.
While not the top scorer or the fastest, Beckham possessed a distinctive style defined by precision, extraordinary kicks, and pinpoint accuracy.
THOSE WHO ARE UP FOR ANYTHING
A high-level rugby match featuring the All Blacks is a demanding Test, challenging players physically, mentally, and in terms of skill and endurance.
The All Blacks showcase their readiness through the iconic Maori haka before every match, embodying their identity as New Zealanders and representatives. Switzerland is renowned for its timepiece quality.
TUDOR watches are meticulously crafted and rigorously tested at their new Swiss facility in Le Locle, completed in 2021 after three years of construction.
This cutting-edge, 5,500-square-meter Manufacture integrates watchmaking expertise with advanced production and testing systems. It’s adjacent to the Kenissi Manufacture, established in 2016, which produces TUDOR’s mechanical calibers.
With this network, TUDOR now fully controls key components’ manufacturing to ensure quality, producing all their watches in Switzerland under their strict supervision, guaranteeing exceptional quality.
At TUDOR, they celebrate its rich naval heritage with a French Navy partnership, tracing back its diving watch legacy to 1954. The Oyster Prince Submariner marked TUDOR’s pioneering entry into professional scuba diver timepieces, delivering affordability without compromising reliability or robustness.
In 2015, TUDOR introduced its first Manufacture Calibre, a high-performance movement with exceptional precision and a 70-hour power reserve.
This means you can take the watch off on Friday and wear it again on Monday without winding it. Running at 28,800 beats per hour (4Hz), it’s regulated by a silicon balance spring and a traversing bridge for durability. The movement is COSC-certified for accuracy.
