"Tudor Rose, in-house MT movements, neo-vintage aesthetic"

Tudor is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex. Designed to offer Rolex reliability at a more accessible price, Tudor has developed its own identity with in-house movements since 2015. The Black Bay, launched in 2012, has become an icon in the neo-vintage dive watch segment, combining heritage and modernity.

How we authenticate a Tudor piece

Every piece that joins Monogram Paris follows the same protocol in our Paris workshops: no catalogue photography, no supplier imagery, only shots of the actual item.

  • Case and movement numbers recorded and cross-checked against the registers
  • Dial, indexes and hands: printing, luminova and any relume documented
  • Movement opened by a watchmaker: calibre, finishing, service parts
  • Amplitude and instantaneous rate checked before listing
  • Bracelet, deployant clasp and links inspected one by one

Care and storage

  • Service recommended every 5 to 7 years depending on the calibre
  • Water resistance test after every case opening
  • Avoid magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic bags, tablets)
