TUDOR

Hans Wilsdorf, the inventor of Rolex, founded Montres Tudor SA in 1946. It was a new wristwatch brand with a specific goal in mind: to produce timepieces of the same high quality as Rolex's parent company. Tudor watches, on the other hand, would be more inexpensive.

Tudor became one of the most well-known Swiss timepiece brands in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The Oyster and Oyster Prince, the company's first models, combined Rolex design and construction quality with a more market-friendly retail pricing, attracting a wide range of clients.

Tudor introduced one of its most recognizable models, the Oyster Prince Submariner, in 1954. The first Oyster Prince Submariner followed in the footsteps of Rolex's 6204 Submariner, and featured many of its characteristics, including the screw-down back and the Rolex emblem on the crown.

Tudor has a history of usage in military and sports environments, despite some people thinking of it as Rolex's younger brother. Throughout the twentieth century, the Marine Nationale of France distributed Tudor timepieces to its members, notably the 7922 type Tudor Submariner. Tudor's legendary diving tool watch was also tested and developed with the help of the Marine Nationale. Other military groups, including as the Jamaican Defense Force, the Royal Canadian Navy, and the United States Navy, have chosen the Tudor Submariner as their preferred timepiece, owing to its exceptional endurance and build quality.

Tudor is noted for its experimental designs in general.

They've tried with unusual integrated casings, multicolored dial chronographs, and color schemes inspired by "Montecarlo." Rolex, on the other hand, is known for its exceedingly conservative design sense.
