Tudor Glamour Day-Date Bi-Metal

Details

It would be dishonest to describe Tudor's Glamour Date-Day as anything but inspired by it's older sibling's Day-Date. However, this follows a long tradition of offering models sitting adjacent to Rolex's offerings but at a far more affordable price while keeping much of the same substance. It offers a well-built yet classy bracelet, as well as a highly-accurate movement. This version features a two-tone case and a champagne-gold dial.

The watch is in excellent condition with light marks only, comes as a full set with inner and outer box set, booklets, hang tag with matching serial and original UK guarantee card.

TUDOR

For most of its history, Tudor was seen as Rolex's little brother. Today, Tudor may still be part of the same family, but the little brother has now grown into a full-fledged watchmaking powerhouse in itself.

Tudor originated as a sub-brand for Rolex, using most of the same parts but equipped with a cheaper bought-in movement. For most of its existence, it closely followed Rolex's designs, producing Submariners , Day-Dates and Datejusts (called the Prince Date).

By the late 90s and early 2000s, Tudor had gained a reputation for being a 'poor man's Rolex'. However, this changed after the 2009 brand relaunch, where Tudor came out with distinctive new designs. After Rolex's switch to ceramic bezels for its sports models, Tudor stuck with its guns and began offering a new modernised dive watches in the form of the Pelagos and Black Bay. These new watches, combined with the 'warmer', retro-inspired aesthetic retained by Tudor, meant that it developed a distinct identity from Rolex.
