Sunday post: Why The Tudor Oyster Date Is One Of The Cutest Rolex Watches Of All Time
Blending aesthetics and functionality. The Rolex Day-Date President model is a watch that defines prestige, excellence, and timelessness. However as it has been in production for a long period of time, many varieties of precious metals and dials were made for this model.
Tudor Oyster Prince has the Rolex stamp of approval, without the price tag. Tudor has been on the market almost as long as Rolex. The brand lauched in 1926 when the name was registered as a trademark by Hans Wilsdorf. He wanted to make a sister company for watch enthusiasts at more affordable, yet just as reliable, version of the Rolex.
The Trademark- Tudor comes from the English Royal Family, the Tudors. The older version of the logo is the Tudor Rose from the family heritage.The two iconic Swiss watch brands have an intertwined history. Tudor has happily played second-fiddle to the flagship Rolex brand.
As Rolex watches continue to get more expensive and the brand moves further upmarket towards an increasingly luxury-oriented segment of the industry, it has ultimately been Tudor that has taken over Rolex’s role. As the manufacturer of high-end, Tudor watches are still within reach for the average consumer.
Tudor has firmly asserted itself as one of the world’s premier manufacturers in the affordable luxury segment. Tudor introduced its own in-house movements and tapping into its rich history for design inspiration.
Our Tudor 94613 has the Rolex-logo crown, the Oyster case with “ORIGINAL OYSTER CASE BY ROLEX GENEVA” engraved on the caseback.
