Royal is a name first used by TUDOR in the 1950s to emphasise the superior quality of its watches. With this heritage in mind, the TUDOR Royal range offers self-winding sport-chic watches with integrated bracelets that are as affordable as they are uncompromising. Boasting first-class technical performance and a refined aesthetic, this lines sits at the crossroads between classic and sports watches.

Since its founding in 1926, TUDOR has strived to produce the best possible watches at the best possible price. This mission, as bold then as it is now, is inspired by the vision of the brand’s founder Hans Wilsdorf. The inventor of several cornerstones of modern fine watchmaking – precision, waterproof, and the self-winding mechanism – Wilsdorf dreamed of devising a watch that was technically perfect while remaining affordable, and so created the TUDOR brand to bring his dream alive.

The TUDOR Royal range forms part of this uncompromising heritage, promising its owner no less than the best possible quality at the best possible price. Made in Switzerland from a block of one of the most robust stainless steels in existence (316L), the case on the TUDOR Royal models is waterproof in all circumstances and to 100 metres (330 feet) below sea level thanks to its screw-down crown and case-back. The movement – the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking expertise – is finely decorated, despite not being visible, and is adjusted to the highest chronometry standards in the watchmaking industry. Finally, the smooth and seamless “five-link” metal bracelet stands out thanks to the quality of its design, manufacturing and finish.

Offered in four sizes, the TUDOR Royal is designed to fit any wrist. The 41mm version is particularly distinctive as it mechanical movement displays to day at the same time as the date. The 28mm version features a mother-of-pearl dial with a diamond-set bezel.

Available in black, silver, champagne-colour, blue, salmon pink, and chocolate brown, the TUDOR Royal adopts the sunray motif for its dials, which radiates from the centre, creating elegant lighting effects and reflections that accentuate the chic character of the models. The line-up is completed by a diamond-set mother-of-pearl version for the smallest diameter. For a final touch, TUDOR has added applied numerals or a combination of numerals and diamond-set hour markers to the dials of its Royal watches.

The ultimate in balance, elegance, and versatility, the characteristic notched bezel of the TUDOR Royal, with its alternating surface polish and cut grooves, is just one of the design details that give the model its unique personality. Embodying fluidity and unmistakable style, the integrated metal bracelet of the TUDOR Royal ensures an interrupted line with the case. Characterised by three wide satin-brushed links set between two slimmer polished elements, the smooth quality of its surfaces and edges emphasises the importance that TUDOR places on ensuring comfort on the wrist. Available in stainless steel or with alternating links in stainless steel and yellow gold, the meticulous finishes of the models in this range cater to every taste.
