New Tudor Line (Article from Hodinkee)

They look pretty good, especially for the price point!

Agreed! Very nice. Surprised why this wasn't a Basel release?

It was. They just hadn't reviewed it yet (which makes sense, considering that sports watches tend to be more popular online.)

Oops! Tnx. I should look beyond the BB and THC, then.

Not bad, I like the silver dial on strap, which luckily looks like it is the cheapest option.

I do agree with some of the comments, that it does look a little too much like other options out on the market, but that doesn't make it a very nice watch at a reasonable price.

Thanks for posting.

Very impressed

Love the minimalism, demonstration of sufficient confidence, that they don't have to try too hard to impress. I don't think fussy for Tudor would work well at this price point.

I would have like to seen the date feature with a Cyclops & a brushed bracelet.

Pretty much. For the price, one could get a Grand Seiko of superior quality.


For about 1/5 of the price, one could get a Seiko Presage or SARB (even cheaper) of similar quality.

Wasn't the Style collection released at Basel last year?
These have been on the website for a long time. They are my favourite Tudors.

My sentiments exactly. Looks nice and I'm sure it's a great watch for many, but for that style and price, I'd save a bit more and get a Grand Seiko.

That said, I'm glad to see Rolex offering new styles, at least in the Tudor line.

I'm a big Tudor fan, but I don't care for these at all. Nor the Hodinkee advertorial.

The looks are tired, bracelets mediocre, clasp engravings borderline terrible.

Glad to see it isn't getting much love. That may make it easier for me to get one.
I like his A LOT!
I'm liking this way better than the Ranger, it comes with a date but no cyclops, looks very classy and understated. Can't wait to see if I like it as much in person.
