Browse all 18 Tudor watches in our database.
Tudor is Rolex's sister brand, created to offer Rolex quality at more accessible prices. Hans Wilsdorf (Rolex's founder) established Tudor in 1926 to serve customers who wanted reliability without the Rolex premium. Today, that mission continues.
The Black Bay is Tudor's flagship, available as a dive watch, GMT, chronograph, and more. It uses in-house movements developed with Kenissi (Tudor's movement manufacturer), offering 70-hour power reserves and COSC certification. The quality approaches Rolex at roughly half the price.
What makes Tudor special is authenticity. They're not trying to be discount Rolex. The designs are distinct, the movements are proprietary, and the heritage is genuine. Tudor supplied dive watches to the French Marine Nationale from the 1950s. The brand has its own stories to tell.
For buyers wanting luxury quality without Rolex prices or waiting lists, Tudor is the intelligent choice. The Pelagos offers true dive watch credentials. The Black Bay Fifty-Eight fits smaller wrists. The Ranger serves field watch fans. All deliver build quality that punches above their price point.

Tudor quality is very close to Rolex, using similar materials and manufacturing standards. The main differences are finishing details, movement decoration, and brand prestige. For actual wearing and reliability, Tudor performs comparably at 50-60% of Rolex prices.
The Black Bay is Tudor's most popular model, available in multiple variants. The Black Bay 58 suits smaller wrists. The Pelagos is their serious dive watch. The Black Bay GMT serves travelers. All are excellent value.
