The Tudor Date-Day. A Rolex President at a budget price.


This is one of my favourite watches, a vintage Tudor, with an automatic movement and day-date function. Which makes it the Tudor equivalent of the famously expensive Rolex President. I picked this up on eBay a few years ago at a bargain price, partly because the dial isn't in perfect condition, with a few small spots of discolouration. As a timekeeper it works perfectly, losing only one or two minutes each week. It's beautifully made too, the case is slim and elegant, and I particularly like the way the day and date flip over to change exactly at the stroke of midnight.
