The Tudor Heritage is a very special watch series that appeals to nostalgics in particular. Despite a modern guise, the watches are a nod to the brand's historical timepieces. Even after the reorganisation of the company, legendary predecessors were brought back to life with Tudor Heritage. It is interesting to look at the special models, which have clear differences in design despite the common series.
Tudor Heritage Advisor
The Tudor Heritage Advisor, which is often referred to as a dress watch in a sporty guise, is a perfect example of this. In contrast to many other luxury watches, it is particularly suitable for everyday wear and can be wonderfully combined with a suit or shirt without necessarily catching the eye. An unusual feature of the Tudor Heritage Advisor is the alarm function, which is marked on the dial with a small red hand. At 9 o'clock, you can see whether the alarm is switched on. In terms of design, the developers have travelled back in time to 1957, when the first watches with wristwatches came onto the market. Mostly in silver or white, the Tudor Heritage Advisor with its 42 mm case size (stainless steel/titanium) is sure to please.
Tudor Heritage Chrono
The modern versions were modelled on the Oysterdate chronographs from the 1970s. Here, the watches are not only based on the design, but the colourful exterior has also been adopted in the modern watches from Tudor. The Heritage Chrono Blue, which was given a white and blue dial, a blue dial rim and a blue rotating bezel by the designers, is particularly popular or striking. A characteristic feature is the bidirectional rotating bezel for displaying a second time zone, which is particularly appreciated by collectors. The overall design of the dial is somewhat reminiscent of roulette discs, which is why this special watch has been nicknamed the ‘Montecarlo’.
Tudor Heritage Ranger
At first glance, the Tudor Heritage Ranger looks unusually simple for the Swiss watch manufacturer. Only the design of the numerals at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock immediately catches the eye, otherwise no further complications have been added. At times, observers have the feeling that there is no real difference between the modern edition and the namesake from the 1960s. On the other hand, the Tudor Heritage Ranger is a very affordable alternative, for which an investment of around €2,000 is required.
Price of a Tudor Heritage
As already mentioned, the Ranger is the perfect entry-level model in this range at just over €2,000. To purchase a Tudor Heritage Chrono, you need to budget around €3,000 to €5,000, while the price range for the Heritage Advisor is between €3,000 and €4,000. Of course, there are also special editions that can be priced slightly higher, but this is rarely the case with the Tudor Heritage.
