Tudor has just launched a classy new moonphase watch.
The 1926 Luna offers a stylish design with a decent spec sheet at a respectable price.
If you're a fan of the best watches on the market, chances are you're already aware of Tudor. Sat under the same umbrella as Rolex, the brand offers a range of timepieces designed to infuse classic style and more affordable pricing.
It's known for models like the Tudor Black Bay – a dive watch with real clout in the sub-£5,000 arena. More recently, we've seen things like the Black Bay Chrono with luscious pink and flamingo blue dials.
Now, the brand has found its classy side once more, with the new Tudor 1926 Luna. That name shares a lot – 1926 denotes the year when the brand was founded, while Luna nods to the moonphase complication, which can be found at the six o'clock position.
The watch sits within a 39mm case crafted from stainless steel. That sits just 10.1mm thick, which should ensure a really slick wearing experience.
That attaches to a steel bracelet, with a seven-link construction. The bracelet enjoys a mix of brushing and polishing, which should help to catch the light more, and is all attacked with a folding clasp and a safety catch.
Inside, Tudor's in-house Calibre T607-9 powers the watch. That ensures around 38 hours of power reserve, though it's worth noting that this one isn't COSC-certified as other Tudor movements are.
The moonphase indicator sits at the six o'clock position, and looks truly stunning. The dial also makes use of arabic numerals on the even indices, with triangle markers in-between. There's an air of Nomos about the design, actually, which is really nice.
Users have the choice of three different dial colours – blue, gold and black – and each version costs £2,210 (approx €2,500 / US$3,000 / AU$4,500). That's really rather reasonable for the spec sheet on offer, and should make it a popular pick.
