Tudor North Flag watches.
Tudor is a brand that is almost synonymous with outdoor activity, from cars to sailing and more. Now, the brand takes the adventurous spirit a step further with the new North Flag collection with in-house-made movement. The line is named for the arctic and Antarctic—extremes of the planet, temperatures, and conditions. It was also named for the science exhibitions of the early 1950s, when the British North Greenland Expedition scientists wore Tudor Oyster Prince watches throughout their experiences in the hostile conditions. As such, the new watch is completely inspired by history, but offers a visionary look to today’s rugged adventures.
The hybrid steel and ceramic watch was developed with special attention paid to the case material and the all-new movement. In fact, this watch represents Tudor’s first Manufacture-made caliber—the Tudor MT5621 with a power reserve of roughly 70 hours. In addition to providing the hour, minute, and central seconds, it offers an instant date display and power reserve indicator. The variable inertia oscillator features a silicon balance spring and the watch is geared to resist both shock and vibrations thanks to its COSC-certified chronometer status. The self-winding watch with bi-directional winding beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour.
