In particular, its leading submarine FXD GMT-Master watch not only meets the needs of naval aviation, but also takes into account daily life and practicality, which makes people admire it with admiration! Want to know what are the highlights of this watch? Come and find out more with me!

Tudor watch

When it comes to watches, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind may be Rolex. This Swiss luxury watch brand was founded in 1905. It was the first brand in the world to launch self-winding watches and has a very high popularity and reputation around the world.

But the brand we are going to introduce today may be the first time many people have heard of it. It is Tudor, which was founded in 1926. It was also a branch brand of Rolex and was founded by Hans Wilsdorf himself.

From a time point of view, Tudor and Rolex were born almost at the same time, so many people will analyze it as a replacement for Rolex. Although this view is not completely wrong, it is also biased, because with the development of time, Tudor has gradually got rid of this replacement label and formed its own distinctive brand characteristics.

Especially after the launch of the leading submarine watch series, many people have taken a new look at this brand. This watch model M2542G247NU0002 is known as the best choice for both daily life and practicality, and its original intention was to meet the needs of naval aviation.

We know that naval aviation often needs to cross multiple time zones during the execution of missions. In order to avoid confusion, they need a watch that can display a second time zone. However, most mechanical watches on the market can only display one time zone, which obviously cannot meet the demand.

So Tudor modified the GMT movement and launched the leading submarine FXD Greenwich watch. The case size of this watch is 42 mm, the thickness is 12.7 mm, and it is made of matte titanium. This material not only reduces the weight of the watch, but also improves its durability, meeting the needs of modern users.

Although many people think that Tudor is the replacement of Rolex, we can clearly see the difference between the two from the design of this watch. Tudor is more low-key and practical, while Rolex is more flamboyant and luxurious.

This is also the reason why many watch enthusiasts regard Tudor as their favorite, because it is not as ostentatious as Rolex, but has a cold and pragmatic character. When such a person is brought out, it is easier for people to like it.

The most important thing is that the price of the Submersible FXD Greenwich watch is much lower than that of Rolex of the same level. Even in the second-hand market, Tudor is much more affordable than Rolex. This is undoubtedly a great news for watch lovers.

This watch is not only excellent in appearance design, but its inner movement is also quite powerful. According to the data, the FXD Greenwich watch is equipped with Tudor’s own GMT movement MT5652U. This movement has not only passed the certification of the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC), but also has a 65-hour power reserve, which is very excellent.

Moreover, a non-magnetic silicon hairspring is used inside the movement, which greatly improves the anti-magnetic ability of the watch. This is very important for users who often need to travel across time zones, because they often encounter magnetic field interference during use, causing the watch to be inaccurate.

In addition to these highlights, the leading submersible FXD GMT-Master watch also handles the details quite well. For example, it adopts a screw-in crown design. This design is not only beautiful, but also greatly enhances the waterproofness of the watch. We all know that waterproofing is an important indicator of the watch, and Tudor has set a waterproof depth of 200 meters for this watch. This data can already meet the needs of most users.

Let’s take a look at the strap of this watch. As a watch that is both daily and practical, it certainly needs a suitable strap to accompany it. Tudor has done this very carefully and equipped the FXD Greenwich watch with a green textured strap.

This material not only improves comfort, but also has very good breathability, making it very suitable for outdoor activities. Although the textured strap is slightly less durable, Tudor has obviously taken this into consideration and improved the service life of the strap in terms of craftsmanship.

Conclusion

Tudor’s submersible FXD Greenwich watch is indeed a good choice. It is low-key and practical, and the price is much more affordable than Rolex. It is suitable for watch lovers who pursue cost-effectiveness. What do you think of this watch? Are you also attracted to it?
