TUDOR

In 1946 Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf laid out his vision to make a more affordable watch which would “attain the same standard of dependability for which Rolex is famous.”

That vision was TUDOR.

We are very proud to present this exhilarating brand, which constantly challenges its own boundaries.

PELAGOS

A superb example of a complete mechanical diving watch, PELAGOS represents an evolution of diving watches shaped by decades of intensive use and is symbolic of an adventurous lifestyle.

Each watch comes with an additional rubber strap, with the colour matching the dial and bezel, and the titanium bracelet features an ingenious, unique clasp.

The PELAGOS LHD or “Left Hand Drive” shines a light on a little-known part of TUDOR’s product history; the development of watches for left-handed divers, for whom the conventional configuration was inoperable. Each “LHD” has its unique number engraved on its case back.

BLACK BAY

The history of TUDOR diving watches goes back to 1954. The iconic BLACK BAY has become the definitive, flagship watch for TUDOR and draws its character from an illustrious heritage. Its distinctive “snowflake” hands are borrowed from watches worn by the French Navy in the 1970’s and helped to distinguish more easily between the hour and minute hands at a glance. The riveted bracelets are inspired by watches produced in the 1950’s and 60’s. BLACK BAY has led the way in neo-vintage diving watches, an excellent balance of function and style.

ROYAL

The “Royal” name was first used by TUDOR in the 1950’s, and today it returns as the title for a superbly affordable “sports-chic” addition to the TUDOR range. An integrated five row bracelet and notched bezel give the ROYAL a distinctive modern classic aesthetic. All versions are automatic and the largest, the 41mm, displays the day as well as the date.

RANGER

The origins of the TUDOR Ranger family date back to 1929. In the following years, the Ranger name added a spirit of adventure to certain models in the TUDOR collection.

The new Ranger continues the expedition watch tradition, born with the Oyster Prince watches used by the British North Greenland Expedition in the 1950’s.

Incorporating the aesthetic standards; Arabic luminescent numerals at 3, 6, 9 and 12 on a black dial and an arrow hour hand which were established in the 1960’s, the Ranger has a 39mm case, rapid adjustment system and manufacture calibre MT5402.

1926

In 1926 the brand name “TUDOR” was registered on behalf of ROLEX founder Hans Wilsdorf. Today, TUDOR’s heritage is encapsulated in the 1926 line and the attention to detail found in these superlative watches is testament to TUDOR’s enduring sophistication.

The domed dials are delicately embossed and adorned with applied numerals or diamonds, and the smooth sturdy bracelets alternate brushed and polished finishes across seven rows of links.

Who We Are

Jewellery is in our family – our father Barry trained as a jeweller in the 1960s before starting work at the bench for various local businesses. After some years doing repair work at Tustains he settled to work here full time, eventually becoming a partner and in time buying the shop out right. We still remember living above the shop in the early days as we had sold our family home to finance this endeavour.As you may imagine from this very brief description of our early days at Tustains, having been around the business all our lives our passion for what we produce runs very deep and is the beating heart that drives us to keep things special and to do things the right way. We endeavour to continue our father’s ethos of quality, quality, quality and to keep looking forward and embracing new ideas.
