Tudor Heritage Ranger

Inspired by a historic model, also named Ranger, which the brand produced in the late 1960s, this new model embodies the unique creative approach developed by TUDOR to showcase its heritage in 2010 with the launch of its Heritage Chrono. Far from being a mere re-edition, it is a distinct reinterpretation, a true temporal and stylistic encounter of past, present and future.

The 41mm steel case with satin finish is bigger than its vintage predecessors, but appropriate for today. Inside we have the self-winding Tudor caliber 2824 with power reserve of about 38h. It comes with screw-down winding crown (which shows the Tudor rose), a slightly domed sapphire crystal and is waterproof to 150m.

The readability is strength for sure and so is the wear ability. On the wrist it felt and looked good.

Not only the “vintage style” leather strap shown in the pictures above proofs attention to details, also the way it is finished and not to forget the crown which is nice to handle. Some may dislike the writing on the dial “Rotor Selfwinding”, but it also was like this in the past – good or bad.

The watch is available with different (steel, bund leather and leather) strap solutions – three to be exact, plus an additional camouflage fabric strap with buckle supplied with each watch. All of them are below € 3k.

Conclusion :

This is a nice watch and I welcome the approach to offer more than one strap from the beginning. Still for me it is not perfect, because I am crazy about details – especially those regarding haptic. Nothing is seriously wrong with the offered solutions, but I know it could be even better and for example the leather could be even smoother. But this “weakness” is a strength at the same time, because you don´t have to pay a fortune whenever you would like to get a new strap and so it probably fits quite well to the target group of this watch and the spirit of modest prices.
