Tudor is one of the hottest current watch brands, and it’s not just because of its close relationship to Rolex (though this definitely doesn’t hurt). Modern Tudor watches offer great value, the brand has a storied history, and the many cool Tudor watches from decades past offer a look at another side of a brand that is today largely associated with sport watches — here are three beautiful examples.
Tudor Oyster Ref. 7934
What we like: This is a handsome Oyster-cased (à la Rolex) Tudor from the 1960s, with the same charming rose logo and “shock resisting” on the dial as the field watch below. A screw-down crown gives it increased water-resistance, which was the Oyster case’s landmark contribution to watchmaking. Also take note of the cool “alpha-style” handset. With a manually-wound Tudor movement inside and a case diameter of 34mm, this Oyster watch features classic looks, and is a cool piece of Tudor history.
From the seller: In great condition overall. The dial shows heavy patina throughout with some small scratches towards center. Case doesn’t show any signs of over-polishing and has some superficial scratches on sides. The movement runs very well and keeps accurate time.
