In recent days, the Type 58 watch launched by Tudor has caused a lot of heated discussions. Everyone is discussing whether this watch is a “replacement” or can be on an equal footing with Rolex. Its solid gold material and high-performance movement make people wonder how awesome this watch is? Let’s take a closer look at this high-profile watch and see what its charm is.
Tudor 58 watch
Recently, the Swiss luxury watch brand Tudor has launched a new model 58 watch. The release of this watch has triggered widespread discussion. Some people believe that this watch has surpassed other brands in terms of material and performance, and is no longer even an “equal”. It has the ability to truly be on an equal footing with Rolex.
This 58-type watch is the first time that the brand has used solid gold material in watches and bracelets. Of course, it is not pure gold, because we all know that objects made of pure gold are too weak to withstand the test of time. Therefore, generally speaking, luxury gold watches are all 18K gold, which is gold with a gold content of 75%.
This Tudor 58 watch is also made of 18K gold. Not only is the case made of gold, but the bracelet is also made of solid 18K gold. The hour markers and snowflake hands on the dial are also made of 18K gold, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.
Although we cannot determine the specific sales volume of this watch, what is certain is that it has become the most worth buying watch in the minds of many watch lovers, because its luxury and cost-effectiveness are unique among many high-end watches.
And because the watch diameter is 39 mm, it is more suitable for Asian wrists and there is almost no discomfort when wearing it. This is also a major reason for its popularity.
High performance movement
In addition to being eye-catching in terms of material, a good watch should not disappoint in terms of performance. The Tudor 58 watch adopts a see-through bottom design, which is a common operation in many high-end watches. Through the transparent glass mirror, we can clearly see the operation of the movement.
This watch is equipped with Tudor’s own MT5400 movement. This movement not only has a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour, but also has a power reserve of 70 hours, which is already a very good result among high-end watches in the same price range.
What’s more, this movement has also been certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC), which means that its travel time accuracy has reached the requirements of Swiss standards. It can be said to be a movement with very excellent performance.
market response
The release of this watch still caused some controversy. Some people believed that the materials and performance used in it had completely surpassed other brands and became a true luxury product. However, before everyone positioned it as a cost-effective brand.
As a result, everyone is a little uncomfortable with it. It seems that they can only feel at ease when they regard it as a substitute. Otherwise, they will always worry that they have paid too much for it. Standing side by side with the real luxury brand Rolex, it seems that they are not worthy of themselves.
But such worries are obviously unnecessary, because real luxury brands may not disappoint consumers. Just like Rolex, even if it is expensive, the movement, materials, craftsmanship and other aspects are of top quality. Although Tudor performs quite well, some gaps can still be seen.
But now it seems that this gap has been completely leveled. I wonder what surprises Tudor will bring us next.
Conclusion
The Tudor 58 watch surprised us in terms of material and performance. It really makes people feel that it has the ability to compete with luxury brands. As a consumer, there will always be some doubts in your mind. After all, the brand value and historical heritage of luxury goods cannot be ignored.
