Tudor's history part 3 - The Chronographs
In 1970, with the launch of its first mechanical manually-wound model, the Oysterdate chronograph, the brand immediately impressed aficionados through its exceptional use of bright colours and its choice of characteristic pentagonal hour markers.
The next year, in 1971, a second series of Oysterdate chronographs, today known to collectors by the nickname "Montecarlo", provided technical improvements and a stylistic evolution. Notably, the introduction of blue dial and bezel variants in this series left a lasting impression.
