TUDOR Royal watches
The elegance of the TUDOR Royal collection
The TUDOR Royal collection is a modern tribute to the exceptional tradition and heritage of TUDOR, a brand that has been known for outstanding watches at affordable prices since Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, created it in 1926. The Royal collection encapsulates Wilsdorf’s dream of creating a technically perfect watch that is also affordable. It combines first-class technical performance with refined aesthetics and is positioned as a bridge between classic watches and sports watches. TUDOR started using the name “Royal” in the 1950s to emphasise the superior quality of its watches – a tradition that continues to this day.
Design and aesthetics of the TUDOR Royal collection
These are watches with real personality. The TUDOR Royal designs feature a notched bezel with alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces, lending them a striking and distinctive character. The integrated metal bracelet, which forms a seamless line with the case, accentuates the flowing aesthetic and unmistakable style of the Royal collection. The bracelet itself has three wide, satin-finished links flanked by two narrower, polished elements, emphasising the importance that TUDOR places on comfort and aesthetics. The Royal collection is available in stainless steel or with alternating links in stainless steel and yellow gold, which exemplifies the great care taken with surface treatments for the models in this range. Available in four different sizes, the TUDOR Royal collection has been developed to fit every wrist. Some notable highlights of the range include the 41 mm version, whose mechanical movement displays both the day and the date, and the 28 mm version, which features a mother-of-pearl dial and a bezel ring set with diamonds.
Technical features of the TUDOR Royal collection
The TUDOR Royal collection is notable for its versatility and its sporty yet elegant appearance, underpinned by a combination of first-class technical performance and refined design. Each model in the Royal collection has an integrated metal bracelet, a fluted or diamond-set bezel and an automatic movement that masterfully achieves a blend of sports watch and classic watch. TUDOR originally introduced the name “Royal” in the 1950s to emphasise the superior quality of its watches, and this collection carries on in the same tradition today. New dial designs in chocolate brown and salmon have extended the TUDOR Royal collection to include radial, brushed dials with an unexpectedly exquisite aesthetic. These new colour variants complement the existing variety of sunray finishes and mother-of-pearl dials with applied or diamond-set Roman numerals, which together with the batwing hands (fitted with grade A Swiss Super-LumiNova® luminous material) give TUDOR Royal watches their characteristic appearance.
TUDOR Royal watches are available in four case sizes (28 mm, 34 mm, 38 mm, and 41 mm), each in 316L stainless steel or a combination of 316L stainless steel and yellow gold. These materials have been carefully selected to ensure that each watch is made to last. In addition, each model is water-resistant up to 100 metres (330 feet). This has been achieved by using a screw-down crown and case back. A TUDOR Royal watch is therefore the perfect choice for both everyday adventures and special occasions.
Not only does the TUDOR Royal collection epitomise technical perfection and affordable luxury, it also exemplifies the brand’s #BornToDare spirit, which has driven the brand’s quest to create the best possible watch at an affordable price ever since Hans Wilsdorf created it in 1926. It is this commitment to quality – coupled with sophisticated design and technical performance – that makes a TUDOR Royal the perfect choice for watch enthusiasts who value style, reliability and outstanding value for money and are looking for something outstanding.
Functionality and specifications
The TUDOR Royal collection strikes an exceptional balance between functionality and refined aesthetics, making these watches the ideal companions for both everyday elegance and sports. Each model in the collection performs to the highest technical standards, as shown by the following key features:
Water-resistance: TUDOR Royal watches are water-resistant up to 100 metres (330 feet). This has been achieved by using a screw-down crown and case. This feature makes the Royal collection watches suitable not only for everyday use, but also for swimming and snorkelling.
Case and bezel: The Royal collection models are available in four case sizes: 28 mm, 34 mm, 38 mm and 41 mm. The cases are made of either 316L stainless steel or a combination of 316L stainless steel and yellow gold. The striking notched bezel is available in either 316L stainless steel or yellow gold, with a diamond setting adding an extra layer of luxury to the 28 mm version.
Dial: The dials in the Royal collection feature a variety of sunray satin finishes, including two brand-new colours: salmon and chocolate brown. There is something to suit every taste, with options including black, silver, champagne, blue, chocolate brown or salmon sunray finishes, as well as mother-of-pearl dials with applied or diamond-set Roman numerals for the variants with smaller diameters.
Movement: Each watch in the TUDOR Royal collection is powered by an automatic movement that offers reliable functions such as hours, minutes and seconds in the centre. The specific movement used depends on the case size. The 41 mm version also displays the day of the week at 12 o’clock and the date at 3 o’clock. These movements are the backbone of the Royal collection, which combines a sporty-chic look with technical sophistication.
Bracelet: One of the stand-out features of the Royal collection is the integrated five-link bracelet, which is made from satin-finished and polished 316L stainless steel or yellow gold and stainless steel. This bracelet boasts a smooth and seamless design that flows into the case, taking the watch to the next level of comfort.
All of these functional features and specifications serve to enhance the versatility and refined character of the TUDOR Royal collection, which is positioned as a bridge between classic watches and sports watches and has something to offer for every personality.

The TUDOR Royal collection not only excels in terms of its aesthetic appearance, but also in terms of its everyday practicality. A perfect blend of sporty elegance and functional robustness, this watch collection is the ideal companion for a variety of occasions – from formal events to casual everyday moments.

Furthermore, TUDOR Royal watches feature an integrated metal bracelet that creates a seamless transition from the case to the wrist. This design feature, combined with the choice of pure stainless steel or a stainless steel and gold combination, offers wearers not only comfort and ease of use, but also the flexibility to wear their watch with different outfits.
