The name, Royal has been appearing on Tudor watches since the early 1950s. Hans Wilsdorf was as serious about his Tudor brand as he was its older sibling. Tudor always was and still is a watch with all the quality hallmarks of the Wilsdorf household, at a more accessible price point and so the use of Royal was a way to give the watches a feeling of importance and nobility. Now, almost 70 years on the name has been revived for a new sporty line from the brand that celebrates the integrated bracelet watches of the 70s, a form that is as powerful now as it was then.

The new Royal collection is available in four sizes, (panerai radiomir replica )41mm, 38mm, 34mm and 28mm. Initially launched in China, in June, the watches are now being rolled out in other territories. The 41mm is available in a Date and Day configuration and there are options in steel and, steel and gold (S&G in Tudor-speak) and a number of dial options. In total that’s a possible 54 different combinations to choose from. That’s real choice!

All the watches in the Royal collection are powered by modified ETA and Sellita movements, which allow the watches to be offered at a very accessible price point. This is going to make the watch a serious proposition for young watch buyers and also an easy addition for the more experienced collector looking for a sporty and wearable watch to add to their collection. And of course the brand’s quality is fully present in all of these watches.
