If you could only own 1 Tudor...

If you could own only 1 currently available Tudor which would you choose and why?

I am planning to buy a Tudor for fun and would love your advice on which currently available model is the best Tudor on the market for a male sports watch. Please don’t take into account my current collection.

Thank you in advanced for sharing.

BB58 Blue. I love the proportions of it and the shade bezel and dial. It is also an absolute strap monster. I got it on the Steel Bracelet which I like, don’t have a problem with the faux rivets but I have also worn it on a nice aftermarket distressed brown leather strap, a blue and white Marine Nationale style strap and for the last couple of months I’ve kept in on a Vanguard blue rubber strap which I’ve been most impressed with.

As much controversy as it's been for the BB GMT and the date issue or the thickness of the watch. I have one and still feel it is the best complete daily watch and all purpose. It's subtle and yet functional. Best value and charm combined.

The GMT bezel can be used for multiple time zones and has enough clicks to use as a timing reference as well. It's hard to beat this value and function at the price point. Did I mentioned it is also a 70 hrs of PR? I have no regrets and completely satisfied.

I am a one watch per designer and have the Tudor GMT, but it was a very close race between that and the LHD. The LHD is fantastic!

BB58 Blue. Fun vintage, under the radar vibe.

Tudor Heritage Black Bay Harrods Special Edition. It is rugged, minimal, and has a relaxing and warm colour scheme.

The Tudor North Flag




I love the unique sharp angular design.

I’ve had my north flag for over two years and still marvel at it. It’s my ‘roughing it’ watch. Tudor is for real on their movements and I love the sharp, angular design you flag in your review : )

Thanks! The MT5621 always impresses as it stays in sync with the atomic clock whenever it’s on rotation.

One of my favorite details of the dial is the minute track on the sloped dial edge.

Blue Pelagos. LHD is a fair option too. I feel they are both super fun watches, unlikely to be duplicated in feel for the rest of your collection.

I personally don't like faux vintage, so its blue for me.

What I want does not exist yet. I simply want a new GMT in a format slightly larger than the BB58 (maybe 12-13mm). There is 0 reason why that could not technically happen.

Just trying to wish it into existence.

For current models, I would say the BB58 or the Pelagos.
