Wearing my tudor heritage chrono today for the first time. Love it. It's a little weird that it takes 48 clicks for the bezel to go full circuit. Why not 60?

Tunacan26 · 4 February 2011, 03:31 AM

I'll have to test mine. Well, my Heritage is upstairs, and too lazy to go it it. But just tested my C-sub, 120 clicks!!

Lion · 4 February 2011, 03:34 AM

Hmmm...good question!!!

mascot · 4 February 2011, 03:48 AM

Maybe its build with leftovers from some GMT:s

Tunacan26 · 4 February 2011, 04:38 AM

My Heritage -- 48. Obviously each click, each silent click, encompasses a little more than 1 minute marker.

Dan Pierce · 4 February 2011, 05:03 AM

That's weird, 48 for the THC, 120 for the Sub c, and 24 for the GMT IIc.

48 suggests 30 min intervals on a 24hr clock...

rmfnla · 4 February 2011, 09:09 AM

Yeah, but it's a 12-hour dial.

rmfnla · 4 February 2011, 09:11 AM

Only 48 clicks is one of the reasons Tudor is less expensive than Rolex.

Those clicks cost $$$!

ersnyder · 4 February 2011, 09:40 AM

60 clicks on my PAM 305.

rockyn · 4 February 2011, 11:05 AM

I've always wondered about that. You can't really use it to time anything because you can't line it up to the minute hand.

Yes you can, just take the silly click spring out.

RRY · 4 February 2011, 01:48 PM

Well, never mind the number of clicks, but doesn't the 12-hour markings on the THC's bezel imply that it is used for a different time zone, and not as a timer?

yes so its click for every 15 minutes then based on a 12 hour clock

rockyn · 4 February 2011, 05:05 PM

That still doesen't make any sense, if you were going to use it for a second time zone, you would advance it one hour at a time, not 15 minutes.

There are timezones in the world with 15 minute offset from GMT. Like Nepal. There are also timezones with a 30 minute offset.

So, in theory, the Heritage is the first product from Rolex that adress this issue, but in real life it is difficult to read a 15 minute offset from the hour hand. I do that from the minute hand...

Tunacan26 · 4 February 2011, 10:36 PM

Does anyone really know what time it is?

Chicago, circa late 1960's.

Is counting the bezel clicks the first sign you may be a WIS?

rmfnla · 5 February 2011, 06:34 AM

I think it's indicative of an advanced case!
