gave us a preview of the new North Flag watch. It’s operated by the brand’s first in-house movement, which required 5-many years to develop, based on Davide Cerrate, Mind of promoting and Product. It’s also their first COSC licensed movement.
The North Flag is really a brand-new watch within Tudor’s selection. However, like many of their watches, it’s inspired through the past. In the Ranger/Explorer-style case and dial towards the integrated bracelet (a la Rolex Oyster Quartz reference 1530), you will find multiple Tudor and Rolex cues. The North Flag is really a new kind of watch for Tudor.
In which the Black Bay and Pelagos are clearly divers (the second being quite technical), the North Flag is really a truly technical watch targeted, within my own belief, at watches such as the IWC Ingenieur, and so on. This can be a no-nonsense kind of piece, which is just driven home whenever we enter into what’s the true story here – Tudor’s in-house caliber MT5621.
The 40 mm diameter case is stainless steel having a steel bezel that includes a black ceramic periphery. The dial is matte black with whitened applied hour markers (with numbers at 12 and 6), whitened arrow-formed hour hand, whitened minute hand, yellow highlighted second hand, a crescent-formed power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock along with a instantaneous date display at 3 o’clock.
The brand new in-house movement (caliber MT 5621) is automatic, beats at 4Hz, and has a 70-hour power reserve. It utilizes a plastic balance spring and it has a flexible inertia balance wheel, having a crossing balance bridge making the regulator assortment better quality. As pointed out above it’s the brand’s first foray into COSC-licensed movements. It is probably the first open case back too. In addition this movement is really awesome searching. The rotor is cut right through to reveal what seem to be sand-blasted bridges. The appearance is sleek, technical, and merely completely awesome.
Please be aware, the movements aren’t produced in Bienne, where Rolex movements are produced. They’re Swiss but aren’t designed to as a lot of an amount as Rolex, as that will cost a lot more which are listed near to what ETA based Tudor watches run for. The Tudor North Flag can be obtained the selection of steel bracelet with alternating polished and brushed finishes or perhaps a black sporty textured leather strap with yellow contrast stitching and yellow backing. Retail is $3,550 on strap and $3,675 on bracelet.
