Wow my initial thoughts are: I want to like it, but I can’t lie to myself- it’s ugly. A mish-mash of diff things that don’t work together. The romans seem awkward, too small and peripheral, the day window seems small, the case is blocky. Seems like a mess to me.

It is literally the Rolex oysterquartz. I wondered if they would bring that look back for Rolex but looks like the answer is kinda, but to Tudor.

Reinhard in SA · 27 July 2020, 11:52 PM

I want to see the 38mm version. Maybe they have some non-Roman numeral dials as well. Curious so see how this one turns out.

bogdanco · 28 July 2020, 01:13 AM

still don’t understand what is the purpose of Tudor throwing new models with ETA .. brand wise it sucks, they started on a journey of inhouse movements either own developed or in partnership like with Breitling but this way they should go

was hoping one day to see that 1926 with white dial and blue and inhouse movement but it’s clear they are not thinking like this :)

Interesting that Hodinkee hasn’t reported on this yet.

I guess TRF is my new site for the fastest news!!!

i really like the look of the blue dial, will it be released in the UK?

Rokoru · 28 July 2020, 02:14 AM

It is like the date window of this movement is a little more towards to the centre of the dial like the prev. gen. Royal Oaks. In other words a small movement for it´s case size..

Unfortunately that’s just the way it is sometimes.

Even Patek does that .

Someone posted a pic in the Patek subforum of a Calatrava movement where the movement had to sit inside a big plastic ring that was used as a spacer because the movement was too small for the case

If it’s okay on a $30k watch I guess it’s okay on a sub $10k watch

Well the day wheel must fit somewhere...

Thanks for sharing these pics. Has almost an OysterQuartz vibe.

JSolution · 29 July 2020, 02:04 AM

intetresting they offer such a variety of sizes. i would be intereseted in one of these after seeing the other dial variations.

Mifune · 29 July 2020, 02:07 AM

not my personal cup of tea... but not bad looking.

samson66 · 29 July 2020, 02:23 AM

Sort of like it and really love that they offer in so many sizes

Yuri.Popov · 29 July 2020, 02:29 AM

Nice watch!

Dan Pierce · 29 July 2020, 02:41 AM

I like the blue dial 41mm.

Maxy · 29 July 2020, 02:50 AM

Blue dial is winner!

Pic i grabbed from a review. Only for sale in Asian markets at least initially

Essentially Tudor (or should I say "Rolex") have decided to take Rolex history and apply it into this watch but not enough to compete with the big brother.

Engine turned bezel (70s Rolex). Integrated bracelet (80s Rolex). Full Roman dial. Assorted sizes. Assorted metals. Date function. Date and day function, etc. etc.

Live shots look decent. But I think there is too much going on for me as a complete package.

Lamontsanders · 29 July 2020, 03:33 AM

On the wrist that looks pretty good. Updated oysterquartz for sure.

GolfJunkie · 29 July 2020, 03:57 AM

Would like to see a variation with a stick dial. The romans aren't doing it for me.

wb55 · 29 July 2020, 03:58 AM

Apparently it has a stamped clasp. Ouch.

Pw92676 · 29 July 2020, 03:59 AM

I’m not a huge fan of these but am very glad Tudor is making them to add diversity to their catalogue.

Onikage · 29 July 2020, 04:04 AM

I get an Omega Constellation vibe myself. Not a bad thing. I don't think I'd buy one. The older Date-Day is just my bag.

Chewbacca · 29 July 2020, 04:07 AM

‘Wow! Looks great! Integrated bracelet and cool dials and bezels! Like an Oysterquartz.’

- ‘But you hated the OQ, why not just get a nice used OQ then?’

‘But it’s still a quartz.’

- ‘So? It’s a Rolex quartz, and it’s beautiful!’

‘Hey, the new Tudor also has an ETA made by Swatch!’

- *stares at floor rubbing temples*

PatrickGu · 29 July 2020, 04:23 AM

Might hurt the datejust sales a little bit :p

Likestheshiny · 29 July 2020, 04:26 AM

I'd rather have a new oysterquartz, but I suppose for some these would scratch a similar retro itch. And it's a way for Rolex to get in on the current push for integrate bracelets without Rolex actually doing it.

Honestly, what I really want is for the sub update to have an integrated bracelet. Bu, of course, there's zero chance of that.

timy · 29 July 2020, 04:59 AM

Wow. This piece is nasty. Integrated bracelet. Nasty. Can't say much more.

HogwldFLTR · 29 July 2020, 05:02 AM

Not a bad watch but I'm not biting.

Spectral_Method · 29 July 2020, 05:04 AM

I'm torn on this one. It feels like they are trying to cash into the Royal Oak craze, but I still somewhat like how they look. May have to wait until they are available in the US to make my mind up on them.
