Watch enthusiasts and newbies alike would know that Tudor is Rolex\u2019s sister company. The brand has been making waves since their revamp in 2010, releasing hits such as the\u00a0Tudor Black Bay<\/a>\u00a0collection and the Pelagos<\/a>. While Tudor was generally known as Rolex\u2019s more affordable younger sibling, the brand has quickly come into its own.<\/p>\n

This reignited the persistent question about the two brands: if the same company owns Rolex and Tudor, what is the difference between their watches?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s learn a bit more about their similarities and key differences.<\/p>\n


\nTudor’s Beginnings<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cFor some years now, I have been considering the idea of making a watch that our agents could sell at a more modest price than our Rolex watches, and yet one that would attain the standard of dependability for which Rolex is famous.\u201d \u00a0\u2013\u00a0Hans Wilsdorf<\/p>\n

Rolex\u2019s founder, Hans Wilsdorf, created\u00a0Tudor<\/a>\u00a0in 1926 \u2013 just six years after he established Rolex. His intent was to create a viable, but more affordable alternative to the powerhouse brand of his watchmaking empire.<\/p>\n

Wilsdorf was bent on making Tudor succeed, so he bestowed two very important elements of the Rolex brand to Tudor \u2013 the Oyster case and the self-winding \u2018rotor\u2019 movement.<\/p>\n

\"Tudor<\/a>
Tudor Big Block Chronograph Black Dial Steel Vintage Mens Watch 94300<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The brand then created more accessible versions of Rolex\u2019s watches, such as the\u00a0Tudor Submariner<\/a>\u00a0ref 7922, released just one year after the\u00a0Rolex Submariner<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>was launched; as well as the Oyster and Prince lines.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Tudor became known as Rolex\u2019s lesser known sibling \u00ad\u2014 the\u00a0watch brand<\/a>\u00a0that one buys when they want a Rolex but couldn\u2019t quite afford it yet.<\/p>\n

This all changed however, with Tudor\u2019s\u00a0re-emergence in 2010. With their nostalgic, vintage-inspired releases like the\u00a0Chrono<\/a>,\u00a0Pelagos<\/a>, and\u00a0Black Bay<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u2013 Tudor was able to forge its own identity. Today, it\u2019s the choice of a crowd that wants robust tool watches, without the obvious status symbol.<\/p>\n

\n


\nTudor vs. Rolex: What’s the Difference?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Today, Tudor is no longer seen as Rolex\u2019s second fiddle, and its watches are seen as good options\u00a0to their parent company\u2019s. Let\u2019s dissect the elements that make the two brands different.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>

Brand Identity<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Tudor and Rolex have established their own brand identities. As the younger brand, Tudor has become an avenue for the company to experiment with new materials and bolder styles.<\/p>\n

Rolex has established a prestigious and professional identity. The identity of Rolex is found in legacy with a rich history, and occupies a more luxury-oriented position than that of Tudor.<\/p>\n

Hence, majority of Rolex\u2019s collections are legacy models such as the Submariner, Daytona, and Datejust, which have been around for decades. They also use more traditional materials such as steel and precious metals, and as of 2005, has been famously making all their materials in-house, in their very own foundry. In fact, in an effort to control the quality of their materials, they even have their own blend of alloys, such as the Everose gold and Oystersteel.<\/p>\n

\"Tudor<\/a>

Their choice of ambassadors also further the image of status and success associated with Rolex. Friends of the brand are usually the most prominent persons in their fields \u2013 from tennis legend Roger Federer to filmmakers like James Cameron and Martin Scorsese.<\/p>\n

Tudor watches, while being under the same parent company, presents itself as independent, cool, and experimental, all while drawing inspiration from the brand\u2019s vintage models.<\/p>\n

Tudor\u2019s designs are bolder in nature, and typically use stainless steel, or experiment with the use of more rugged materials like bronze, titanium, and nylon. Their ambassadors are known for pushing boundaries, like David Beckham with his trailblazing personal style, and Lady Gaga with her provocative music.<\/p>\n

Even though Tudor is still a luxury brand, it is more avant garde than Rolex, and these watches are meant to be slightly more down-to-earth than Rolex watches are.<\/p>\n

Design and Aesthetics<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rolex has instantly recognizable designs \u2013 from the classic\u00a0Rolex Datejust<\/a>\u00a0to the ruggedly elegant Rolex Submariner. Even people who do not collect watches would immediately recognize a Rolex timepiece.<\/p>\n

The current line-up of Rolex watches have designs that have been around since the 1940s \u2013 1950s, and have changed very little. As they say, Rolex watches only make way for technical advancements, and their timeless designs only go through \u201cevolutions\u201d rather than revolution.<\/p>\n

Tudor, meanwhile, has been the company\u2019s avenue for experimentation, and this makes their watch designs markedly different from Rolex.<\/p>\n

While some models like the Tudor Submariner are overtly inspired by their Rolex counterpart,\u00a0Tudor watches<\/a>\u00a0have been more adventurous \u2013 using materials like bronze, cloth watch straps, as well as busier designs that are not found in Rolex watches.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>
Rolex Submariner Hulk and Kermit & Tudor Black Bay Harrods<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Movement<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Until recently, the main difference between\u00a0Rolex<\/a>\u00a0and Tudor was their movements. Rolex has been using in-house movements since 2004, when they purchased outright the manufacturing facility that makes their calibers.<\/p>\n

Tudor, meanwhile, ran on movements created by renowned Swiss manufacturer ETA SA or Valjoux.<\/p>\n

This distinguishing factor all changed when, in 2015, Tudor launched their first ever in-house movement: the Cal. MT5621. It first appeared in their North Flag line; but in-house calibers are slowly being applied to the rest of their portfolio, along with modified ETA movements.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona and Tudor Monarch in Steel and Gold<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Construction<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rolex<\/a>\u00a0is known for using only the finest materials, and for even manufacturing their own metals. Since 2005, Rolex has been creating the gold, platinum, and stainless steel alloys used for their watches in their own foundry.<\/p>\n

In fact, all the 18k gold they use in their watches are especially mixed by the company to ensure maximum luxury and durability. As of 2018, Rolex has also been using Oystersteel in their watches, a specially developed alloy that belongs to the 904L steel family.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, most other\u00a0watch brands<\/a>\u00a0use standard 316L stainless steel alloys for their watches or source their metals from third parties. Such is the case with Tudor, and this is one of the factors that determine their price range.<\/p>\n

However, the build quality, engineering, and technical prowess used for\u00a0Tudor watches<\/a>\u00a0are still identical to that of Rolex watches, so you\u2019ll still get a timepiece that\u2019s accurate and robust.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>

Pricing<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Rolex and Tudor are both luxury watch brands. However, even though these are both in the business of making fine timepieces, the prices between Tudor and Rolex watches show quite a difference.<\/p>\n

Tudor has a more entry-level price range, and is one of the top choices for those who are just starting out with buying luxury brands.<\/p>\n

Rolex, on the other hand, establishes its prestige with its high-end prices. The price of a Rolex watch is oftentimes double the price of a Tudor watch.<\/p>\n

\"Tudor<\/a>

Take for example, the Rolex Oyster<\/a> Perpetual versus the Tudor Black Bay<\/a>. These models, particularly the stainless steel, neutral-dial models, are considered the entry models of the brand.<\/p>\n

Rolex, at retail, has a considerably high entry price point: an Oyster Perpetual 36mm is priced at $6,100 as of April 2023<\/a>. That can be a barrier for those who are just starting their watch collection.<\/p>\n

Tudor, meanwhile, is well below the $5,000 mark: a Tudor Black Bay 36 is priced at $3,200 as of April 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nComparing Rolex vs Tudor Models<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Rolex
Rolex Submariner Kermit & Tudor Black Bay Harrods<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When comparing the models, it is important to consider design, price, quality, and themes. There are many qualities between both Tudor and Rolex watch models that make them similar, considering that they are from the same parent company, but there are select differences that can help you decide which brand is the right one for you.<\/p>\n

Tudor watches have a sporty design across almost all of their models. The Tudor aesthetic is modern, sleek, and sporty to give the wearer a watch that fits their speed. Rolex also has many sporty watches, but many of them are fancy enough to also be worn in formal settings. A Rolex Submariner, despite being a dive watch, is also commonly worn with suits and even tuxedos.<\/p>\n

\"Tudor<\/a>

Both Tudor and Rolex have very high-quality watches, but Rolex has the most premium pieces within their watch. Tudor has been working on having even higher quality watches and is slowly trying to bridge the gap when it comes to quality.<\/p>\n

There are a fair number of Rolex-inspired watches in the Tudor catalog, and putting them side by side will help us understand the difference between the two brands better.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex
Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi and Tudor Black Bay GMT Watches<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

These two watches are some of the brand\u2019s most popular watch models. They are both made with great design and give off a sporty-luxe look when you are wearing either one of them.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>

The Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi barely needs any introduction. The first GMT watch of Rolex, it was first introduced in 1954, as a commission from Pan Am Airways. With the development of transatlantic travel, they wanted to give their pilots a timepiece that can display multiple time zones. The blue-red bezel of the GMT-Master Pepsi was derived from the official colors of Pan Am, and has been a hallmark of the collection since.<\/p>\n

The Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi is still being produced today, and its latest version comes in stainless steel (ref 126710BLRO). This watch, in true GMT-Master II fashion, shows three time zones using the bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel, which works hand in hand with the 24-hour arrow-tipped hand.<\/p>\n

This version of the Pepsi comes with extra luxe features. First, instead of a standard stainless steel case, this watch has an Oystersteel case. It also features a Triplock triple waterproof system that provides 100m water resistance, a bi-colored Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, a cyclops magnifier above the date, and a COSC-certified Caliber 3285 movement, which is accurate to -2\/+2 seconds per day. As of April 2023<\/a>, it retails for $10,700.<\/p>\n

\"Tudor<\/a>

In 2018, Tudor introduced the Black Bay GMT (ref 79830RB), a homage to the GMT-Master II Pepsi. That is apparent with the blue-and-red bi-colored bezel on the watch.<\/p>\n

The Tudor Black Bay GMT is an affordable and fantastic watch with many of the similar qualities of the GMT-Master II Pepsi.<\/p>\n

It has a 41mm stainless steel case with a gorgeous satin finish. You can see both the GMT time and date with this watch\u2019s Calibre MT5652, which also offers a 70-hour power reserve.<\/p>\n

\"Tudor<\/a>

Main differences with the GMT-Master II Pepsi would be that the bezel features the iconic blue-and-red colors in an anodized aluminum disk; the 24-hour hand comes with a snowflake design, which is Tudor\u2019s signature; and the movement offers a precision of -4\/+6 seconds per day.<\/p>\n

Overall, you get your money\u2019s worth with this watch while looking stylish and professional.<\/p>\n

As of April 2023<\/a>, the retail price of the Tudor Black Bay GMT is $4,300, making it one of the more affordable GMT luxury watches out there.<\/p>\n

Tudor Submariner vs Rolex Submariner<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re into vintage watches, the Tudor Submariner is an excellent alternative to the iconic Rolex Submariner. It was produced from 1955 to 1999, which means you can only get one from the secondary watch market.<\/p>\n

Both the Rolex Submariner and Tudor Submariner watches have a rugged, sporty design, and were introduced when diving became a popular sport in the mid-20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>
Rolex Submariner Steel Models: ref 1680, 16610, and 124060<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Rolex Submariner came out in 1953 while the Tudor Submariner came out in 1954. True to Hans Wilsdorf\u2019s vision, the Tudor Submariner offered the water resistance and dive watch capabilities of the Submariner, but at a more modest price point.<\/p>\n

The main differences were in the movements they used: Tudor Submariners were powered by third-party movements, while Rolex created theirs in-house. Moreover, Tudor\u2019s movements were not chronometer certified, whereas Rolex\u2019s movements were.<\/p>\n

Both watches have gained popularity over the years, and while the Rolex Submariner continues to be produced and the Tudor Submariner has been retired, it is still sought after among watch collectors, especially the ones who are into vintage models.<\/p>\n

\n


\nAre Tudor watches as good as Rolex watches?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

For many years, getting a Tudor watch was just seen as an affordable alternative to Rolex. While many more people bought Tudor watches due to their more affordable nature, it wasn\u2019t as seen as good of an option as Rolex. However, this thought process has significantly changed, and both Tudor and Rolex watches are seen as prestigious, in their own way.<\/p>\n

Tudor watches are just as good as Rolex watches considering they are made with many of the same materials from their parent company. As Tudor continues to grow as a brand, it will continue to become more and more similar to Rolex watches, while still hopefully keeping the same price range.<\/p>\n

\"Rolex<\/a>
Rolex Submariner Hulk and Kermit Tudor Black Bay Harrods Watches<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even though Tudor watches don\u2019t always have all the same features that Rolex watches have, Tudor watches perform just as well. The time-keeping capabilities of Tudor watches are similar to that of modern Rolex models prior to the most recent 32XX movements (that is, with -4\/+6 seconds per day precision).<\/p>\n

The choice of materials, as well as the often bolder and more colorful designs of Tudor watches, has established them as a maker of reliable yet stylish tool watches, without any of the status symbols that often come with a Rolex, such as precious metals or diamonds.<\/p>\n

Both brands have their strengths, and it\u2019s all a part of Rolex\u2019s strategy as their parent company.<\/p>\n

\n


\nTudor vs Rolex : Which one should you choose?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

With Tudor now carving its own identity in the watch world, getting one no longer means \u201csettling\u201d for a more affordable Rolex-esque watch.<\/p>\n

With the similarities that the two brands of watches have, you will find that both Tudor and Rolex watches will give you a premium time-telling experience while having a professional accessory to complete your look.<\/p>\n

If you want a reliable luxury watch with unmatched legacy, go for a Rolex. If you\u2019re after a robust watch with a more adventurous design, then Tudor is your best bet.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, there is no definitive answer \u2013 only that\u00a0Rolex and Tudor sure make the best watches, in their respective price ranges. They deliver top quality when it comes to watches and both are highly respected brands. With that, choose the watch model that speaks to you the most.<\/p>\n
