Every Tudor chronograph reference ever made (including pics of every dial variant)
This is my attempt to coherently list every Tudor chronograph reference ever made. Click the model numbers to see pics of every dial option. If I've forgotten anything or gotten any details wrong, please let me know!
 Monte Carlo: 1970-1977, 39mm, manual-wind The first Tudor chronographs First generation: 1970-1971 ("Home plate" dial, Valjoux 7734 movement, 5 beats per second) 7031/0 - Black Bakelite tachymeter bezel 7032/0 - Steel tachymeter bezel 7033/0 - 12-hour bezel, prototype only Second generation: 1971-1977 (No more "home plate" hour markers, Valjoux 234 movement, 6 beats per second) 7149/0 - Black or blue Bakelite tachymeter bezel 7159/0 - Steel tachymeter bezel 7169/0 - Black or blue 12-hour bezel Big Block: 1976-1995, 40mm, automatic The first automatic chronographs from Rolex/Tudor 1st Generation: 1976-1989 (Note: People often refer to these model numbers without the slash. 94200 = 9420/0 etc) 9420/0 - Black or blue Bakelite tachymeter bezel 9421/0 - Black or blue 12-hour bezel 9430/0 - Steel tachymeter bezel 2nd Generation: 1989-1995 (Not much change, bezels look slightly different) 79160 - Black tachymeter bezel (Bakelite at first, then aluminum) 79170 - Black 12-hour bezel (Debuted 1992) 79180 - Steel tachymeter bezel Small Block: 1995-2009ish, 40mm, automatic Sapphire crystal, same movement with slightly better finishing, slimmer lugs than the Big Block. Pre-Tiger: 1995-1998 (Originally labeled "Oysterdate" on the dial with Oyster bracelet only, and colorless dials that still resembled Big Blocks. 79260 debuted in 1995 and the other two bezel options came in 1996. In 1997, a leather strap option was added, and then two-tone models appeared as "Prince Date" replaced "Oysterdate." Colorful dials appear at the very end of the pre-Tiger run, most often on ref. 79280) 79260 Pre-Tiger - Black aluminum tachymeter bezel 79263 Pre-Tiger - Gold tachymeter bezel (two-tone) 79270 Pre-Tiger - Black 12-hour bezel 79273 Pre-Tiger - Gold 12-hour bezel (two-tone) 79280 Pre-Tiger - Steel tachymeter bezel Tiger Woods era: 1998-2002 (Many colorful dials are offered, with the word "Tiger" now appearing. Blue, green, and burgundy dials have a guilloche pattern on the dial. By the end of 1998, the Prince bracelet had replaced the Oyster bracelet and Tudor branding had replaced Rolex branding on the crown and caseback. Polished lugs are now an option, indicated by a "P" in the model number, i.e. "79260P") 79260 Tiger - Black aluminum tachymeter bezel 79263 Tiger - Gold tachymeter bezel (two-tone) 79270 Tiger - Black or orange 12-hour bezel 79273 Tiger - Gold 12-hour bezel (two-tone) 79280 Tiger - Steel tachymeter bezel Post-Tiger: 2002-2009ish (Tiger signed with TAG Heuer in 2002, at which point Tudor dropped the word "Tiger." They also dropped the 12-hour bezel, and the green and burgundy dials. Some font changes occur to the Arabic numerals, and a non-guilloche blue dial and slate dial are added. Oyster bracelet option reinstated. Post-Tiger Small Blocks were seen in AD's in some places as late as 2010, though they were discontinued in most of the world several years before that.) 79260 Post-Tiger - Black aluminum tachymeter bezel 79263 Post-Tiger - Gold tachymeter bezel (two-tone) 79280 Post-Tiger - Steel tachymeter bezel Monarch Chronograph: 1995-2003, 35mm, quartz Offered on leather or bracelet (Caliber 1220) 15900 15903 (Two-tone) Chronautic: 2002-2007, 41mm, automatic Offered on leather or bracelet (ETA/Valjoux 7753, 8 beats per second) 79380 Archeo Chronograph: 2005-2014, 33mm, quartz Odd rectangular case, almost unknown in the US.

The chronos from the 70s were gaudy and I like it
