The new Tudor Ranger: between heritage and adventure

In 2022, to mark the 70th anniversary of the British North Greenland Expedition, Tudor is releasing a reissue of the iconic Tudor Ranger.

The Swiss watchmaker offers watch enthusiasts a timepiece that combines elegance with a taste for adventure.

How will the Tudor Ranger establish itself as one of the benchmark watches of 2022?

Tudor delivers an exceptional heritage watch

The first 1952 edition of the Tudor Ranger was designed for exploring the extreme cold. The 2022 production still carries the icy spirit that made it a success in the last century.

The iconic dial of the Tudor Ranger

The Tudor Ranger's hour markers are painted with Swiss Super-LumiNova luminous material. The off-white color of the Arabic numerals accentuates the watch's vintage look.

The hour hand is arrow-shaped. True to the heritage of the 1952 Tudor Ranger, this design breaks with the contemporary square hand of the Black Bay and Pelagos models.

Each of the three hands is luminous. One small detail accentuates the Tudor Ranger's dynamic character: a few millimeters of red on the seconds hand.

Straps for every taste

The Tudor Ranger is sold with three different strap options.

First, a "Jacquard" fabric strap will appeal to enthusiasts looking to bring out the watch's adventurous side. The beige and khaki colors embrace an explorer, almost military look.

Next, the natural rubber and black leather strap gives the watch a sporty character. The beige stitching matches the color of the hour markers perfectly.

Finally, the all-steel bracelet is the most versatile option. By turns elegant and sporty, the Tudor Ranger shows its full versatility thanks to its 316L steel bracelet.

The technical features of the Tudor Ranger

Tudor is watchmaking excellence. Beyond a refined design, the Swiss house is used to offering technical features that guarantee precision and durability.

A Tudor case with ideal dimensions

The current trend is toward mid-sized watches. The Tudor Ranger has a 39 mm satin-finished case. Vintage watches often had small cases (between 34 and 36 mm).

Neither too big nor too small, the Tudor Ranger suits every wrist. Its mid-size makes it a watch that can be worn equally by men and women.

The precise and robust caliber of the Tudor Ranger

Tudor has equipped the Ranger with the Manufacture Calibre MT5402. Its power reserve is 70 hours, which makes the watch "weekend-proof."

The movement is COSC-certified, a guarantee of its extreme precision. Tudor holds itself to a tolerance of -2 to +4 seconds of variation per day.

The priority was robustness. While few customers today plan to explore Greenland with their Tudor Ranger, the Swiss watchmaker holds itself to the same rigor as in the 1950s (with modern techniques on top).

The Tudor Ranger: a tool watch that delivers!

Tudor embraces the Ranger's tool-watch nature by emphasizing its robustness and choosing a dynamic, straightforward design.

Some have criticized it for resembling the Rolex Explorer. But it should be kept in mind that Tudor belongs to the same house as Rolex; the two manufactures share a common heritage.

Ultimately, Tudor has succeeded in delivering a design consistent with its history and a level of precision in line with its reputation. In short, with the Ranger, Tudor has honored its name and its history.
