Rolex and Tudor Models before 2000

I know that Rolex and Tudor both had similar looking Submariner models at one time, (along with models I'll call Datejusts and Day-Dates), but I've never seen any "older" Tudor models that appear similar to the GMT Master I or Explorer I. (By "older" I mean prior to the Aeronaut and Iconaut).

Did such models exist?

Thanks for any information and your time.

Greg

The Tudor ranger is similar to the Explorer . Tudor never made a GMT watch prior to the Aeronaut.

Thanks Robyn, I'd forgotten about the Ranger.

Robyn is spot on.
The Tudor chronos, of the 70' thru 90's, w/ 12 hour rotating bezels can be used to track second timezones, although not true GMT's.
