Like owning your first bespoke Savile Row suit, wearing a Rolex on your wrist is a goal to which most men aspire. However, if your budget doesn’t stretch that far, we have the next big thing for while you’re waiting to hit the jackpot. Introducing Tudor.
Born in 1910 and hitting its heyday in the Seventies, Rolex’s sporty younger brother has already found huge success across the pond and has just announced they will be re-entering the American market this summer. Yes, they are without the Rolex logo but the mechanics, the look and the detail mirrors Rolex’s twice their price.
All of their watches make a huge impact in the style stakes, guaranteeing your success in looking smart yet fashionable. Their distinctive look stands out from the crowd and the durability and reliability means it will be here for the long haul.
Tudor offers nine different models. The re-issued Heritage Black Bay was originally crafted in 1954 with a polished steel dial, an eye-catching red band, sporty black fabric strap and domed black dial with pink and gold hour markers and hands. New models start at around just £2,600.
Although currently only available in mainland Europe, there are talks that Tudor will be touching base in the UK someday soon so you can reep all the benefits of the Rolex, without the price tag. Watch this space.
