The Tudor Royal has always occupied that liminal space where sport meets elegance, a place the brand has refined over decades.  With its integrated bracelet, notched bezel and automatic movement, the model represents a particular vision of versatility.  Now, the line welcomes a new and vivid expression: a 28mm Royal with a deep blue dial, accented by diamonds on both bezel and hour markers.  It is unapologetically glamorous, and entirely intentional.

This new reference is offered in either stainless steel or steel and yellow gold, each with a diamond-set bezel.  The blue dial, exclusive to this configuration, plays beautifully with the sparkle of the stones, while baton hands with Swiss Super-LumiNova ensure legibility in all light.  The five-link bracelet, with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, flows seamlessly from the case to the clasp, emphasising comfort and wearability.

While the Royal name was first used by Tudor in the 1950s to underline the superior quality of its watches, the present model draws that heritage forward.  The 316L steel case is water resistant to 100 metres, the T201 self-winding calibre is adjusted to exacting standards, and the entire watch is backed by a five-year transferable guarantee that requires no registration or scheduled maintenance checks.

The result is a watch that is very much in keeping with Tudor’s founding ethos: to offer technical excellence, durability and style, at a price that represents genuine value.  It is the “Born To Dare” spirit, distilled into a sparkling, sapphire-hued 28mm case.
