TUDOR

First registered in 1926 as a brand by watch dealer and maker Veuve de Philippe Hüther, Tudor was officially taken over by Hans Wilsdorf —the founder of Rolex— in 1936. In his words, he wanted to make a watch that his agents could sell at a more modest price than his Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standard of dependability for which Rolex was famous. In 1952, the Tudor Oyster Prince was released with its famous waterproof Oyster case, then the Tudor Oyster Prince Submariner came in 1954. Today, after going through a total revamp, Tudor still under the Rolex management and ownership makes the iconic Black Bay, the Pelagos, the Advisor, and several Heritage Chronographs.
