When it comes to Tudor, the watch that first comes to mind is undoubtedly the dense Black Bay collection of heritage-inspired dive watches. However, in Tudor's entry-level position, there is another intriguing, dressier option that follows Tudor's former history with third-party movements - the Tudor 1926. In this video, we'll take a detailed look at my favorite watch from one of Tudor's least talked-about collections.

Late to the party, but I love this one. The one you showed off is my favorite size and dial combination. It's not a beater, but also not trying to make a large statement. It's one I can wear in a wide variety of situations and with individuals from various backgrounds without feeling out of place.

@papatriot9882 2 года назад

Agree with this Teddy. Went to my AD this week to look at the Tudor GMT and ended up walking out with the 1926 in 41mm on the brown strap. It's just a really simple watch with everything I need - auto, sapphire, screw down crown, the strap has rubber on the inside. Rotating it with my more expensive watch and it's perfect for me as it's the polar opposite of my sports watch.

@robertparker6349 2 года назад

Wow, a Tudor I can actually afford !! And to me more beautiful than the Black bay models. Thanks, Teddy.

@ErikL727 2 года назад

Long overdue. This watch is a tremendous value. A real strap-monster that can be dressed up or down easily. Also a solid nod to the Tudor Oyster Dates of the past. There’s heritage here, it’s just that people are unaware.

As a person not a fan of diver watches, the 1926 from Tudor is a watch that I would add to my small collection in a heart beat. Nicely done and sleek watch, and I really like how the bracelet sets it all off. The Opaline dial serves the watch justice with the blue Arabic and index numerals. If I had the money to spend on a watch right now, I would jump on this right now.

@mrjasonrowland 2 года назад

I have the 39mm white/opaline dial 1926. Mine is a few years old now so it has the top grade ETA movement in it. It’s a very thin and comfy watch to wear. Wears and looks larger thanks to the white dial and thin bezel. It’s all dial. One of my favorite pieces. Super versatile. Screw down crown, 100m of water resistance, and an outstanding and comfortable bracelet should you choose to use it. It looks more casual in person than in photos. Works with shorts or a suit. Understated and then those blue hands and indices hit the light and POW!

@dereksalley7231 2 года назад

Great video as always, Teddy. My first Tudor was the BB Chronograph, which is amazing. But then I wanted something a little more "everyday" and absolutely LOVE this watch, having bought the exact model you've reviewed here. Feel on the wrist is sublime, legibility and beauty in the dial outstanding, with attention to detail and quality punching well above its weight. If I had a gripe it's the relatively brief power reserve of 38 hours- even 55 hours would have been nice, but at this price, with the money saved a person could go buy a quality watch winder and not feel they'd spent too much. It is truly phenomenal that Tudor has created their entry level at this price point with this much watch!

@teekoh 2 года назад

Awesome to see some love for this watch. I bought the 39mm exact same opaline and blue model two years ago. Pretty positive it came with an ETA 2824 back then. It's not the most expensive watch in my collection, but I love it and I've got some great memories with - it was on my wrist the first time I held my son :)

36mm seems really small, but it appears with this model, a 36 looks/wears more like a 39 or 41?

I bought one sight unseen. Really liked the looks of it overall, but even with my small wrist... I really feel 36mm is just a bit TOO small. If I get another, I'll go with the 39mm. I think that would be perfect.

I bought for me and my wife this exact reference with the blue indexes, one in 36 mm for her and in 39 mm for me and I can say that it is one of my most worn watches. Accurate, elegant and with a movement that is reliable but doesn't cost so much in terms of maintenance. A great watch 💙

I’m loving all the Tudor reviews. I have the Tudor GMT after looking for a rolex GMT alternative and love it. In fact I’ve fallen in love with the Tudor brand all together and currently considering the Glamour date date. I love a Rolex and own a few but I always fell like people think I’m trying to flex if I wear it on the daily thus wearing a Tudor watch works better for me. I can throw on a rolex if I am going out and actually am trying to impress.

I’ve discovered that piece quite recently, but I love it: this is gonna be my next dress watch. You have multiple options here and I will go for a 1926 two tones in 36 mm. This old-school textured dial with gold accent will definitely dress up compare to the BB36 classic Explorer like design. And now it’s also available on leather strap! 😎 The only negative you could point at would be the movement. Not a problem for me as Tudor is regulating their watches quite good.

It’s a wonderful watch that along with groups of friends makes for a wonderful silver anniversary gift along with their Clair De Rose.

@@ImranKhan-xk6mr my wrist is slightly over 7 inches and it wears amazing. It works well as a dress watch despite it being 39mm because it’s so thin. It just melts on your wrist.

Love the 1926 collection, esp in the 36mm. The only reason that I haven't gotten one is that I have a Tudor Monarch II 15650. Though the Monarch II is older and is quartz, I still love this watch for its mini-sub, understated vibe that is so similar to the 1926 collection. Got it for a song back in the day too.

i own this exact watch (opaline 41mm), but as I got it 18 months ago it has the ETA based caliber. I agree that it is an excellent and versatile watch, but I also love to wear another of your favorites - a Hamilton Khaki Auto (on a NATO strap that I got from your store). Love your content.
