Tudor is celebrating a classic chronograph from the ‘70s in a charming, modern way. For the first time, a brand-new prototype Manufacture Chronograph Calibre, fully developed from the ground up by Tudor, is being presented in a unique 18K solid yellow gold interpretation of a Tudor classic, the “Big Block” Chronograph.
Description
Tudor watches are all about value, reliability, and robustness, which often means watches in materials such as stainless steel or titanium. For Only Watch, however, Tudor dared to break the rules with an entirely new 18K yellow gold case that heralds the return of the legendary “Big Block” Chronograph, the first Tudor automatic chronograph, released in 1976.
The unique Prince Chronograph One continues this spirit with another incredible first; a brand-new Manufacture Chronograph Calibre entirely developed by Tudor. The prototype of this Calibre, movement “Number 0” in the development process, is found inside the Tudor Prince Chronograph One. The new Calibre, MT59XX, features column-wheel construction and meets all Tudor Manufacture Calibre performance standards.
