Tudor Watch Company History

Tudor Watches, founded by Hans Wilsdorf in February 1926, began with a vision of creating high-quality timepieces at a more modest price than Rolex watches. The earliest Tudor watches feature a straightforward TUDOR signature on the dial, characterized by an elongated horizontal bar on the “T” extending above the remaining letters.

In 1936, “Veuve de Philippe Hüther” transferred the “The TUDOR” brand to Hans Wilsdorf. The Tudor rose logo, encased within a shield, was introduced on the dials, symbolizing strength and elegance. Starting in 1947, a year after Tudor’s official launch, the shield was gradually removed. The logo then featured only the company name and the rose, either finely drawn or in relief, emphasizing the brand’s elegance and style.

The first Tudor models were introduced in the late 1940s and early 1950s, including the Tudor Oyster and the Tudor Oyster Prince, which combined reliability with robustness.

In 1954, Tudor released the iconic Tudor Submariner, a diver’s watch that established the brand’s reputation for durability and performance. This model became a favorite among professional divers and military forces worldwide.

The 1960s saw the launch of the Tudor Advisor, the only alarm watch ever produced by the brand, showcasing Tudor’s innovative spirit. Another significant milestone was the introduction of the Tudor Prince Date-Day in 1969, featuring a day and date function that emphasized practicality.

The 1970s brought the Tudor Heritage Chrono, inspired by the original 1970 Montecarlo model, blending vintage design with modern technology.

For Tudor, the 21st century marked a significant renaissance. The Tudor watch company rebranding went beyond a new logo and marketing materials, transforming Tudor’s identity. The modern collection introduced iconic timepieces like the Tudor Black Bay, Tudor Pelagos, and Black Bay 58, celebrating its rich heritage and commitment to precision, elegance, and adventure.
