About Tudor
Born to Dare
Hans Wilsdorf created Tudor in 1926 with a clear mission: offer Rolex-level reliability at a more accessible price. For decades, Tudor supplied dive watches to the French Marine Nationale. The brand went quiet in the 2000s before a dramatic revival in 2012 with the Heritage Black Bay — a modern tool watch that channeled vintage Rolex Submariner DNA at a fraction of the price. Tudor now develops its own manufacture movements (MT5602), shedding its reputation as merely 'Rolex's little brother.' For value-conscious collectors, Tudor delivers serious horological substance with strong brand backing and growing secondary market support.
Supplied the French Navy with dive watches for decades. In-house MT5602 caliber launched (2015). Black Bay revival reignited the brand globally (2012).
Black Bay references hold value well, typically retaining 75-90% of retail. Tudor offers strong entry-level value in the Rolex ecosystem with upside potential as the brand matures.
