Baselworld 2016: TUDOR Style

TUDOR is adding a range of new aesthetic features to its Style line of classic watches. A fluted bezel and coloured dials enhance the line with its retro-chic touches inspired by TUDOR watches of the 50s, 60s and 70s.

The Style line provides a contemporary take on the classic and elegant wristwatch, a form of expression which TUDOR has continued to tap into throughout its history, with models with evocative names such as Prince or Tuxedo. Drawing on the aesthetic codes born out of the 50s, 60s and 70s, this retro-chic style watch in steel or steel and gold, illustrates the careful attention to detail paid by TUDOR to all its creations.

FLUTED BEZEL AND BATON HANDS

The Style line is recognisable by its distinctive double bezel and dauphine hands. Newly available is an additional design with a steel or 18-carat gold flut- ed bezel and baton hands in case sizes 28, 34, 38 and 41 mm diameter. The bezel design brings an un- rivalled radiance to this watch, thanks to its myriad of polished facets. This fluted nish is an integral part of TUDOR’s aesthetic heritage, and its inclusion in the Style line emphasises the brand’s long tradition of producing classic dress watches.

NEW BLUE, BURGUNDY AND MOTHER-OF-PEARL DIALS

The dial is central to the watch and plays an essential role, which is why TUDOR pays it the utmost atten- tion. Lacquered to give greater depth of colour, Style line dials are interspersed with markers inspired by the timepieces of the 1950s, including the famous double markers at 12 and 6 o’clock. Modernity shows in their meticulous finish. Three-dimensional and beautifully bevelled on four faces, the batons lend the watch an intense brilliance.

Two new dial colours are being introduced: blue sun- ray and burgundy sunray. These come in addition to the existing options of gloss black, champagne sunray and silver sunray. Exclusively on a 28 mm di- ameter model, the choice of dials is completed with an option in mother-of-pearl with diamonds at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock.

HIGH QUALITY FINISH

With an eye to previous traditions, models in the TUDOR Style line are characterised by their polished case with satin nish, further re ned by delicate lugs, a slim case side and a conical crown which together give a fluidity of style. Supplied with a black leather strap or a comfortable ve-link bracelet made of steel or 18 carat gold and steel in true in-house tradition, the Style line models provide an excellent introduc- tion to the TUDOR world.
