On the right side is a screw-down signed crown. A polished stainless steel smooth stepped bezel holds a flat sapphire crystal above a sunburst silver dial, an outer minute track with fine baton indexes marks the hours, and at 3 o’clock, a date window. Chamfer edged baton hands with luminance strip down their centre, complemented by a tapered sweeping second hand with a teardrop counterweight. An applied Tudor shield at 12 with text precisely applied to the dial with the smiley “self-winding” at 6 o’clock. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back, inside an automatic Tudor Cal. T601, 25/26 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, this workhorse movement has a base of either the ETA 2824-2 or the Sellita SW200-1 with a bidirectional rotor and hand winding and hacking seconds for your convenience.

This watch is sold with its original Tudor Box and Papers. The watch comes paired with its original polished and brushed Tudor 20mm stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp; all links are provided.

I think we often forget that Tudor produces many incredible models beyond just the Black Bay range and this Glamour Date in 36mm is the perfect example of that, though it is now unfortunately discontinued! However, what this does mean is that these models can be picked up for an absolute steal as they go overlooked by most collectors, so if this piques your interest, snap it up whilst you can as you won't be disappointed!

The Tudor trademark was first registered in 1926 by the Swiss watchmaking company “Veuve de Philippe Hüther” on behalf of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex watches. Wilsdorf took it over himself in 1936. Just after the Second World War, Hans Wilsdorf, Founder of Rolex, knew that the time had come to expand and give the Tudor brand a proper identity of its own. The Tudor Rose started to appear on their dials from this time. Thus, on 6 March 1946, he created the “Montres TUDOR S.A.” company, specialising in models for both men and women. Rolex guarantees the technical, aesthetic and functional characteristics, along with the distribution and after-sales service.  In 1948, we saw the first Tudor-specific advertisement. A few years later, they introduced the TUDOR Oyster Prince in 1952. Hans Wilsdorf allowed Tudor to use their waterproof Oyster case and the original self-winding Perpetual ’rotor’ movement. This was an exclusive arrangement that benefitted both brands. Development soon commenced with the introduction of the TUDOR Oyster Prince Submariner, reference 7922, in 1954. This watch was quickly adopted by the French Navy in 1956. Building on their reputation of robustness in 1961, the Rose was replaced by the shield. Later in 1969, we saw the design changes in Ref. 7016 where for the first time square indexes and angular hands nicknamed “Snowflake” allowed for a greater amount of lume to be applied; this was appreciated by the divers of the French Navy. Today, these innovations can be seen in the Black Bay and Pelagos collections. In 1971, Tudor introduced the Oysterdate chronographs nicknamed “Monte-Carlo” due to it resembling a roulette wheel. Celebrating their 50th anniversary in 1996. In that same year, Tudor decided to shed Rolex-signed components such as the cases, crowns and bracelets in favour of Tudor-branded ones. Today Tudor uses their in-house movements developed initially in 2015 in collaboration with Breitling.
