Wow ! I want it. My watchmaker has a Mint one from the 70s, I drool over it when ever I visit his shop.

I agree. best part is, you can have a jeweler install a cyclops.

Best part is ... it doesn't have a cyclops.

apparently it looks almost identical to the original except for:

1.) no lug holes on the case
2.) no cyclops
3.) knurled bezel, crown and pushers
4.) slightly different bracelet

Patrick, these pics you are posting are fantastic!

Early Game Score:

Tudor 1 (Home run)---------Rolex 0 (with a man on second base)

IMO Rolex could tie the score with another hit. The 3 new models are at best a Double.

Esexx · 18 March 2010, 04:10 AM

Sweet watch. I agree, no cyclops for me either!

Price seems to be $4k swiss =$3800 US from what I've read so far.42mm case

TheBluePrince · 18 March 2010, 04:27 AM

If it is only going to be CHF4000 (that's Swiss francs, not Swiss $ btw) then i will be getting one.

Where are people seeing this price though? I saw it mentioned on the other thread on here but what is the source?

Home run, slam dunk and a hatrick for Tudor with this.

Dr. Robert · 18 March 2010, 04:28 AM

Rolex...a single, one RBI (blk. sub).......Tudor...grand slam home run!!!!!!!! They, Tudor need to come back to the USA!

I said I wasn't going to buy any new watches, but that Tudor Chrono looks INCREDIBLE

cronin · 18 March 2010, 04:51 AM

Any idea if there will be a waiting list for this one?

I think so.

Pretty sure if there is one watch to make money on this year, this will be it. Considering it won't be sold in the USA the demand will be huge from the few Tudor dealers there are in the ROW. People in the US in particular will end up paying a premium for it.

Absolutely.

So far, Rolex, vintage Rolex, and Tudor fans have seemingly given the thumbs up to the Heritage Chrono. They will probably make them in sufficient numbers but no question these will be highly sought after, at least at first.
Might be a couple of years but that beauty will be on my wrist.

What is the model name/number? Great looking watch.

I think I am getting more into Tudor. Any help on a good vintage model to pick up in the future?

Jason71 · 18 March 2010, 05:21 AM

Wondering what kind of movement this will have in it?? Is Tudor making in-house movements yet?

From another site "available at most ADs from june 2010. bond strap comes in the box with steel bracelet. bond strap's tang buckle is shaped like the tudor shield.

42mm diameter (excludes knurled crown).
rotatable 12 hour bezel.

not sure about the movement, but looks like it has a piggybacked DD module... so probably an ETA 29xx/28xx base."

Prince Tudor · 18 March 2010, 05:28 AM

I am lovin' it. I guess I've got to add this one to my watch bucket list.

Agreed. I doubt it is an in house movement at that price.

Dan Pierce · 18 March 2010, 05:33 AM

I'm still waiting for someone to wake me. Never in my wildest dreams did I think anything from Basel would interest me. Lately I've been moving more and more toward the vintage market.
Then, I wake to find Tudor has hit the jackpot. The case, the dial, and that bezel!!!!
Way to go Tudor.

Agreed, Dan.

Short of Rolex reintroducing the 6263 this is the best that I could have dreamed of.

I'm not prepared to pay a premium though, out of principal.

Well not too high a premium I guess.

I was thinking the same thing, Paul.
