TUDOR Monarch 39mm Master Chronometer Automatic Watch M2639W1A0U-0001

A pure approach to watchmaking is king at TUDOR, and horological tradition reigns supreme. The core mission has always been to build the best possible watch at the best possible price for a century now; the only thing that’s changed is the approach TUDOR takes to meet this goal. In the beginning, long ago in 1926, the brand relied exclusively on independent suppliers. In recent times, TUDOR has built its own industrial network that has aided in achieving the Master Chronometer certification by METAS, the most demanding standard in the industry.

The new Monarch is testament to just how far TUDOR has come; it encapsulates a century’s worth of progress. Using the highest grade components developed from the brand’s network of in-house and independent suppliers, TUDOR is revisiting one of its historical lines and imbuing it with a century’s worth of savoir faire. While the aesthetic of this new Monarch is reminiscent of TUDOR’s early days, with its signature finely faceted case and matching bracelet and papyrus-toned dial with distinctive applied hour markers, its execution and level of performance is only possible today using the incredibly high precision production process that TUDOR has created within its Le Locle Manufacture.
