C W Sellors rounds up 5 top TUDOR watches for gifts this Christmas 2024!
How do you talk about TUDOR without mentioning its famous sibling? Quite easily, actually. This Swiss manufacturer has gone from strength to strength, and not off the back of Rolex, either. It stands in a category of affordable luxury for a reason and has every enthusiast drooling over its neo-vintage offerings. Over recent years, TUDOR has produced some exceptionally beautiful timepieces, which makes them a perfect candidate for gifting at Christmas. These innovations all stemmed from a vision, many of which became icons in their own right.
Company founder, Hans Wilsdorf once said these words:
“For some years now, I have been considering the idea of making a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standard of dependability for which Rolex is famous. I decided to form a separate company, with the object of making and marketing this new watch. It is called the Tudor Watch Company.”
And with that, the brand launched in 1926. Without a doubt, borrowing techniques and materials from its larger sibling certainly instilled first-time buyers with a sense of trust, but TUDOR now offers some incredibly diverse and distinguishable models that speak for themselves, like the Black Bay, the TUDOR 1926, the Heritage, and the Pelagos. So, without further ado, let’s look at what our experts at C W Sellors have rounded up for gift ideas for Christmas 2024. And don’t forget, should you wish to learn a little more about any of the TUDOR watches we showcase in this Christmas guide, our staff at C W Sellors are always on hand to assist in finding that special purchase in time for the big day.
TUDOR Watch Clair De Rose 26mm Blue M35200-0010
The Claire de Rose watch collection by TUDOR is a cutting-edge jewellery watch for ladies. It’s the perfect line to explore should you be in search of an elegant and timeless gift idea for your loved one this season. The name of the collection makes a poetic nod to the brand’s logo and the word “moonlight” in French – “clair de lune”. Recently, the brand clothed the Clair de Rose with a rich blue dial and adorned the display with delicate decorations in relief. The result was simply breathtaking and can be witnessed in designs like this lady’s TUDOR watch, measuring a discreet and dainty 26mm diameter. The model boasts scintillating diamond dot hour markers, features a robust stainless steel case, and is powered by a reliable Manufacture movement for uncompromised accuracy and reliability.
TUDOR Watch Heritage Ranger M79950-0001
If the person you plan to gift a TUDOR watch to this Christmas knows a thing or two about the brand, they’ll be familiar with the Oyster Prince watch, which made history back in 1952. It quickly became one of TUDOR’s most successful models. The brand still pays homage to this watch with modern-day releases like this Heritage Ranger watch. The Heritage Ranger watch is built for extreme weather and during outdoor adventures. Its robust stainless steel case is perfect for those who face impact, temperature fluctuations and harsh external environments on the daily. The 39mm model features a black dial with luminous Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock locations, along with a red-tipped second hand. All these features are housed under a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass for superior resistance and the model also features a rugged stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp and TUDOR’s T-Fit safety catch.
TUDOR Watch Royal Date M28300-0005
The TUDOR Royal Lady’s 28mm watch is a classic companion that can be worn every day of the week, yet during the evening, it has the ability to exude a strong character and an opulent presence thanks to its luxurious design elements. Take, for example, its glistening diamond dot hour markers that scintillate playfully under the light. These precious stones are placed against a mother-of-pearl backdrop that teases pale lilac, pink and creamy nuances depending on the angle at which the case is titled. This lady’s TUDOR Royal watch is crafted from stainless steel and features the decorated bezel edging, along with a sapphire glass front, an integrated bracelet with brushed with polished links and, a 100-meter water-resistant tonneau case. TUDOR’s manufacturing prowess continues into the heart of the watch where the mechanical calibre lives. The T201 is a tried and tested movement that produces a 38-hour power reserve, enabling the watch to keep accurate time, even when away from the wrist.
TUDOR Watch Pelagos 42 M25600TN-0001
The Pelagos is an exceptional tool watch that will appeal to fans of the brand as well as keen outdoorgoers this Christmas. Its dive watch aesthetics create a bold impact on the wrist, while high-grade materials and cutting-edge mechanical technology combine to create an all-around rugged tool watch for everyday wear. This TUDOR Pelagos watch measures a 42mm brushed titanium case for lightweight comfort, along with a black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel that will only move in the counter-clockwise direction while exploring underwater depths. With a 500-meter water resistance, the TUDOR Pelagos can be worn by professional divers and scuba dive enthusiasts, as well as those who just love the Pelagos watch’s unmissable aesthetics. This watch provides a power reserve of 70 hours thanks to its Manufacture Calibre MT5612 movement and features a robust titanium bracelet that secures with a folding clasp and diver’s extension feature for wearing atop a diving suit.
TUDOR Watch Black Bay GMT S&G M79833MN-0001
No TUDOR gift guide is complete without a Black Bay watch and this model brings all the luxury and neo-vintage charm to the wrist. The Black Bay is a valuable collectable and is loved for its distinctive dial with the recognisable “Snowflake” hands and its dome-shaped dial. This 41mm model features a steel and yellow gold architecture combined with a black dial and a bi-colour chocolate brown and black GMT bezel for travel. The colour combination is unique and wholly sumptuous, making for a perfect statement piece to add to festive attire this Christmas. The 200-meter water-resistant case is combined with a two-tone stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold bracelet, a black anodised aluminium winding crown tube, and a lacquered black crown that matches the bezel detailing. Whether you’re travelling for business or flying home for Christmas, this Black Bay GMT S&G model tastefully captures the appeal of the Black Bay with a domed sapphire crystal glass for the perfect finishing touch.
