For the vast majority of that time, there has never really been much of a question about which company was number one. The two iconic Swiss watch brands have an intertwined history that dates all the way back to 1926. But when it comes to the age-old question of Tudor vs Rolex, there are few topics more hotly debated between collectors and enthusiasts. It does not store any personal data.It is only natural for siblings to measure themselves against each other.

The GMT starts at $4,300 and tops out at $5,550 on the bracelet, and the chronograph is priced at $6,000 on fabric and leather, or $7,250 on the two-tone bracelet. The new GMT and chronograph are available immediately through Tudor authorized dealers. Inside, the watch is running on Tudor’s MT5813 chronograph movement, which features a column wheel, vertical clutch, and 70 hours of power reserve. This is likely because of the bright gold dial, which has a real luster and presents very differently than the vintage sports watch inspired matte black Black Bays we’re all very used to by now. What is perhaps a little surprising is that in-person it feels a little large, more so than the GMT, which by the numbers has the same footprint. No surprise here, but the case size remains 41mm. As with the GMT, the bracelet version of the watch has gold center links, which we think is the way to go if you want to lean into the two-tone look. A black tachymeter bezel provides contrast to the dial while complementing the subdials, and the pushers and crown have been rendered in gold. This year, we get a very gold forward dial, with black subdials at 3:00 and 9:00, and a date window cut at the 6:00 position. Last year’s watches were nearly monochromatic, in panda dial layouts both reverse and forward. On the chronograph front, Tudor released a new version of the Black Bay Chrono S&G, wasting no time to follow up a watch that made its debut only a year ago. ![]()
