2023 Tudor Ranger Automatic 39mm on Bracelet 79950

Here we have a 2023 Tudor Ranger Automatic on a Bracelet 79950, which is an update to their 2014 reference 79910. The Ranger watches were Tudor's version of the Rolex Explorer. When launched, it celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the British North Greenland expedition in 2022, a two-year scientific mission studying ice sheets. Featuring a 39mm satin-brushed 316L stainless steel case that curves over your wrist, with chamfered edges and tapered lugs, its curvaceous flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 48mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, a screw-down crown with the Tudor Rose in relief in the centre. Brushed and polished surfaces transition with crisp edges. A satin-brushed, smooth bezel holds a domed AR-coated sapphire crystal above a matte black dial with a fine-grain texture. An outer minute track is precisely printed with Arabic 12, 3, 6, and 9, and baton indexes marking the hours coated in a beige Super-LumiNova for that vintage aesthetic. The arrow and sword hands are complemented by a red-tipped sweeping second hand. At noon, we have the Tudor motif, and at 6 o’clock, “Ranger” completes this historical tool watch, modernised and reimagined. On the reverse, a coin-edged screw-down case back, featuring an in-house MT5402 (COSC) Certified movement with 27 jewels and 28,800 beats per hour. A bi-directional rotor and Antimagnetic silicon hairspring provide a robust and accurate movement first introduced in 2018, and are also found in their Black Bay 58. It comes paired with its Tudor 20mm three-link brushed stainless steel bracelet, featuring the Tudor “T-fit” safety catch quick-adjustment system and a signed folding clasp; all links are included.

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 true 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 advertising. 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 benefited 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 their 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.
