Tudor replica watches: This sports watch with a formal style is still the first in China
The Tudor replica watches Royal series was first unveiled at the Shanghai “Watches and Miracles” Haute Horlogerie Exhibition in July 2020. Initially, Tudor released this watch first in the Chinese market, and Tudor launched it globally a few months later. The characteristic of the Royal series is that Tudor adopts an integrated chain belt design for it, which coincides with the popular elements of sports stainless steel watches that have been popular in recent years. The addition of Roman numerals and calendar display windows makes this series have the characteristics of sports watches and at the same time add a bit of business atmosphere. It is a series that I think is between sports watches and formal watches, combining the advantages of both.
“Royal” comes from the original meaning of the word Tudor: Tudor Dynasty.
In fact, the brand has used “Royal” as the product name as early as the 1960s, and the model Ref.7934 is the earliest Royal series watch. However, this work was only a flash in the pan, and for a long time after that, Tudor replica ailed to continue the series. After many years, the new product uses the “Royal” name again, which also means paying tribute to historical works.
Although the royal series has elements such as Rolex’s week-shaped pitted bezel, Roman numerals, and double calendar display windows, according to the division of the brand’s official website, the royal series does not belong to CLASSIC WATCHES, but is in SPORT WATCHES, with pilots and rangers. , Inheritance chronograph side by side.
The “sport” of the Royal series is first reflected in the one-piece chain design, which is currently used in popular high-end sports best fake watches, such as the Royal Oak and Nautilus. The advantage of the integrated chain belt is that the structure of the lugs is omitted,
and the watch head and the strap are combined into one,
which not only makes the appearance of the watch simpler, but also makes the overall sense stronger.
The main part of the bracelet adopts the same frosting process as the case, gradually narrowing from the width, and the watchmaker uses high-gloss polishing for the spacer links.
The two techniques interweave to reflect different shades of luster and add a sense of sophistication. In addition, due to the use of the screw-in crown, the series has a waterproof rating of 100 meters,
which is higher than the waterproof standard of 30 meters to 50 meters for conventional formal watches, which is also its sporty side.
The pit pattern bezel, sun pattern dial, metal three-dimensional Roman numerals time scale,
and the day and calendar display function are all elements that often appear in classic formal replica watches. Especially the pitted bezel, it is easy to think of Rolex’s famous triangular pitted outer ring. Rolex has widely used triangular pitted outer bezels in the two series of Datejust and Weekend. This design can be traced back to the last century,
and its original intention is to enhance the friction of the bezel and facilitate screwing. Today, although the front-opening design has withdrawn from the stage of history,
the triangular pit pattern outer ring has actually become the iconic element of Rolex after many years of use,
and has been retained as a highly recognizable decorative element.
Just like the relationship between the snowflake needle and the Mercedes-Benz needle,
many designs of Tudor watches are not only inspired by Rolex, but also show the unique characteristics of the brand.
The bezel of the Royal series is composed of bright surfaces and grooves at intervals, which is also highly recognizable.
This kind of texture is common in medals or medals,
and it is beneficial to increase the gorgeousness of the dial when used on the bezel.
Another advantage of the Royal series lies in the rich watch diameters and dial materials. The series provides various watch diameters of 28mm, 34mm, 38mm, and 41mm. They all have 316L steel bezel and 18K gold ring versions,
which satisfy the most The wearing requirements of watch friends of different genders and body types. In addition, the addition of mother-of-pearl dials and diamond-set hour markers ushers in a touch of elegance to the series, and can also be worn as a formal watch.
The Tudor Royal Series Dual Calendar is equipped with a T603 movement based on Sellita’s SW240-1. With the reduction of external supply of ETA movements, the Sellita movement with almost the same structure
and reliable performance has become the optimal solution in the “unified core” solution. However, Tudor has not carried out in-depth modification on this basic movement,
so the power reserve of the T603 movement is still 38 hours.
Today, with the increasing popularity of long power movements, the 38-hour dynamic storage seems to be insufficient in sincerity. Fortunately, in recent years, Tudor has stepped up the pace of exploration of the original movement. At present, except for the Royal series and Qicheng Chronograph,
all sports High replica watches under the Tudor have been upgraded to MT original movements with 70 hours of dynamic storage and certified by the Observatory. . The Royal series, which is also a sports watch,
is likely to replace the MT movement in an iterative version, so let’s wait and see.
