R TUDO R

The refreshed Royal collection is offered in new 30mm, 36mm, and 40mm case sizes in either stainless steel or steel-and-yellow-gold configurations. A redesigned notched bezel with sharper polished facets gives the watch a more contemporary appearance, and the screw-down crown and caseback maintain 100 meters of water resistance. While the integrated five-link bracelet preserves the streamlined profile that has defined the Royal since its reintroduction, it now benefits from revised end links that prevent it from contacting the case, reducing wear over time. It now features Tudor’s new T-fit rapid-adjustment clasp, allowing wearers to adjust the bracelet without tools for a more comfortable fit. The Royal introduces an expanded palette of dial colors, including black, blue, silver, green, light blue, ivory, salmon, burgundy, brown, champagne, and mother-of- pearl. Though Roman numeral dials remain part of the collection, buyers can now choose versions with luminous stick hour markers, lending a cleaner look. Those seeking a more jewelry-inspired style can opt for smaller models with eight diamond- set hour markers and full diamond bezels. The most significant changes lie beneath the dial. Manufacture movements now power every Royal model, replacing the previous generation’s outsourced calibers.

R OYAL SPORT-LUXE GETS AN U P G R A D E Introduced in 2020, the Tudor Royal brought integrated-bracelet styling to the brand’s lineup with a design that balanced sporty versatility and everyday elegance. The “Royal” name, however, traces its roots to the 1950s, when Tudor first used it to emphasize the quality and refinement of its watches. The latest generation builds on that heritage with a host of technical and design updates.

Depending on case size, the watches offer power reserves of either 50 or 70 hours, silicon hairsprings, and chronometer-level precision. With new case sizes, expanded dial options, updated bracelet features, and manufacture movements throughout the range, Tudor has made the Royal more compelling and versatile than ever.
