Beyond the Dive Watch: Exploring TUDOR Chronographs and Watch Collections
June 20th, 2025
Known for their iconic dive watches, TUDOR has built a reputation on precision, reliability, and robust design, but their watches go far beyond these depths. Wilson & Son Jewelers is proud to showcase a wide-ranging selection of TUDOR timepieces, from refined dress watches to sportier models featuring unique complications and bold aesthetics. From seasoned watch collectors to those just beginning their horological journey, we’re certain our customers will find timepieces to satisfy their tastes. To help guide you through these lesser-known corners of the TUDOR universe, Wilson & Son has highlighted pieces you may not have discovered until now.
1926 Collection
Blending understated charm with everyday versatility, TUDOR’s 1926 collection is a refined tribute to the brand’s early years. Designed for those who appreciate subtle elegance over bold statements, these watches offer a more classic aesthetic, featuring embossed dials, polished cases, and a range of sizes to suit both men and women. Most models include a date complication and are powered by reliable automatic movements. With their timeless styling and clean lines, the 1926 watches appeal to first-time buyers and seasoned collectors looking for a daily-wear timepiece that’s both approachable and quietly sophisticated, perfect for those who value simplicity with a touch of finesse.
Ranger Collection
Built for exploration and rooted in adventure, the Ranger collection channels the spirit of rugged utility with clean, tool-watch designs. Inspired by the watches worn during the British North Greenland Expedition of the 1950s, modern Ranger watches feature matte black dials, bold Arabic numerals, and a no-date layout for maximum legibility. They’re powered by a COSC-certified automatic movement and housed in a durable stainless steel case, making them a reliable companion for everyday wear and outdoor pursuits alike. Ideal for those drawn to vintage military aesthetics and straightforward function, the Ranger is a watch that favors substance over flash.
TUDOR Royal Collection
Striking a balance between sporty and refined, the TUDOR Royal collection stands out with its integrated bracelets, notched bezels, and sunray-patterned dials. Designed for those who want a versatile timepiece that moves effortlessly from day to evening, the Royal blends classic styling with contemporary details. Available in a variety of sizes and dial colors, with or without diamond hour markers, this collection appeals to both men and women looking for a polished everyday watch. Most models include a day-date complication and run on reliable automatic movements. The TUDOR Royal collection speaks to those who appreciate comfort, versatility, and a confident, slightly dressy edge.
Black Bay Chronograph
While it is part of the Black Bay dive watch family, the Black Bay Chronograph collection by TUDOR carves out its own identity by blending the rugged spirit of a diver with the high-performance functionality of a racing-inspired chronograph. These watches maintain the water resistance and bold styling expected of the Black Bay line, but introduce stopwatch functionality through subdials and a tachymeter bezel—ideal for timing laps, events, or everyday moments. The combination of sport-driven design and mechanical sophistication appeals to those who want more than a traditional diver. It’s a compelling choice for anyone drawn to precision, performance, and a bit of edge.
