Tudor Accuracy

In case anyone is curious (maybe not)

I bought my Black Bay 58 on December 12th and have worn it daily since then. I think it has gone maybe a full 24 hours off the wrist once or twice in that time but has not been allowed to run out of power reserve.

So in the ...25-26 days in purchase it is currently running at +1 second. Not SPD but 1 second in total currently. It has fluctuated slightly, at one point it was about 1 second slow, but that was after a day of rest, when wearing regularly it has never been more than 2 seconds fast.

It has been remarkable to say the least and it makes wearing it all the more enjoyable

Tudor Accuracy

I check the consistency of my watches annually for a week.

My Tudor North Flag’s MT5621 last year was ~ +1 sec each day consistently.

Rechecked the accuracy for this year while it was on rotation last week and it hasn’t changed.

i tend to find the tudor in house movements just as accurate as the rolex.

Excellent. Sounds like you've really enjoyed wearing your BB58, and the accuracy is additional value added. Wear in good health

Yeah, the ETA in my BB36 runs about -5spd, it's fine but not great, I'm sure it can be regulated at some point though. But the in-house Tudor is amazing thus far

My BB GMT & Pelagos have shown similar accuracy. Been thrilled with their performance.

My HBB 41 runs similar. I tracked it a while and gave up because it didn't move.

Seems the new Tudor in house movements are super accurate work horses. My BB58 navy is running +/- 1s/day. Never had that sort of accuracy from a mechanical watch of any brand.

Completely agree, my BB58 blue is just as accurate as you've described and my BB chrono is the same. My Omega PO is a close second and my Explorer II runs a second fast per day.

Had my BB41 for a while now and I only checked it for accuracy twice about six months apart and averaged losing 5-7 Secs per week.
It's the ETA movement I find that remarkable considering the amount of seconds in a day.
I only bother to set the time when its been stopped etc.

Look a plain and simple fact no matter the brand/price of any watch movement its only as good as what its been regulated too that matches the owners wearing habits.Even what some would call low end movements like the Chinese made Seagull ST19,when regulated correctly which is quite simple to do.Can run a consistent +2 seconds or less a day on wrist cost of movement $60.

My Tudors with inhouse movements get similar results. Another reason to like them.

My GMT is also very accurate as was my BB Blue 41. Their in-house movements are impressive

I've been very pleased with the accuracy/performance of my Tudors. So much, in fact, I can't make any distinction in my collection between their accuracy/performance and that of my Rolex watches.

Similar experience with my Tudor. Last time I checked it, it was around .1 - .2 seconds per day. More accurate than my Rolexes, frankly.
