Tudor Watches
Hans Wilsdorf, the same mastermind behind Rolex, founded Tudor. His plan was simple: sell watches with the same Swiss quality as Rolex but at a more approachable price. That approach still holds up today. At Bob’s Watches, our pre-owned Tudor lineup covers everything from the unmistakable Black Bay divers to the tool-ready Pelagos and the more understated 1926 collection. You’ll find watches with real history, like vintage Tudor Submariners tied to military use, alongside modern favorites such as the Black Bay 58 with METAS Master Chronometer certification. Our inventory includes Tudor men’s and women’s watches across a range of sizes, materials, and complications, all carefully authenticated by our in-house experts and backed by our buyer protection guarantee. Spend a little time with our Tudor watches for sale and it’s easy to see why so many collectors view the brand as one of Swiss watchmaking’s smartest values.

Tudor: Born to Dare
Tudor is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1926 by Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf. The brand was created to offer the reliability and dependability of a Rolex at a more accessible price point. Over the decades, Tudor has developed its own distinct identity, producing rugged tool watches with bold design language and in-house movements. Today, Tudor is a powerhouse in the modern watch industry with cult-favorite collections like the Black Bay and Pelagos.
History and Heritage
Tudor was registered as a trademark by Hans Wilsdorf in 1926, designed as a more affordable counterpart to Rolex. The Tudor Oyster Prince, introduced in 1952, established the brand’s reputation for durability. The 2012 Heritage Black Bay based on vintage Tudor Submariners sparked the brand’s modern resurgence. In-house MT movements launched in 2015 with COSC certification and 70-hour power reserves.

Expert Opinion
“Tudor has done something genuinely impressive: it stepped out of Rolex’s shadow and built its own identity. The Black Bay 58, in particular, is one of the best all-around dive watches on the market — the proportions, the finishing, the in-house movement at that price point. It’s hard to beat.” — Paul Altieri, Founder & CEO of Bob’s Watches
