Understandably we are all occupied (or preoccupied) with Rolex`s latest offerings at Basel, has anyone seen the new Tudor Iconaut?
I really like it

,what does everyone else think??

The bezel lettering is like the one on the GMT II C

It looks better on their site

I was a bit disappointed when i saw the pics from basel but it looks better now

jasonbellevue · 7 April 2008, 08:29 AM

Awesome flash intro on the Iconaut. I love it.

Here's a silly question, where can I buy one in North America?

Welshwatchman · 7 April 2008, 08:33 AM

43mm, GMT and chrono functions. Brushed SS to boot.

Shame about the dial design.

I wonder if the movement is a modded 7750?

Lol-x · 7 April 2008, 08:36 AM

I like it

43mm with both chrono and GMT functions, together with something that looks close to a oyster bracelet. I think this model will be popular. I wonder how much it costs?

You're right....although I'd still take the GMT IIc anyday.

Letsgodiving · 7 April 2008, 09:04 AM

I don't care for the dial design and the bezel with over-sized numbers doesn't do much for me.

daveathall · 7 April 2008, 10:06 AM

Dont like the dial, but thats just my personal taste, some people will think its stunning.

drnosker · 7 April 2008, 11:53 AM

I think it's nice looking and the most generally useful watch that Rolex will have. The feature of having a waterproof chronograph that has GMT functions and date has been missing since they discontinued the old chrono-times with the rotatable 12 hour bezel. I'm glad to see that they are back in the game. At first I wasn't sure that I liked the styling, but it has grown on me. I'll be checking them out on my next trip overseas.

mailman · 7 April 2008, 12:28 PM

I think it looks pretty good

Wolfgang427 · 7 April 2008, 12:48 PM

Sorry not for me.

bagel · 8 April 2008, 12:14 AM

I like it very much coz it just like the new generation of Monte Carlo to me ...

Probably I will get one when it is released ...

Haven't released the info on the movement .... but if they continue to use eta movement, probably they will use 7754 which has the GMT function ...

evy411nia · 8 April 2008, 12:22 AM

Nope

Welshwatchman · 8 April 2008, 12:37 AM

I tried the site again in the hope that the dial design would have grown on me.

No.

I wonder if they plan to release the model with alternative dial designs.

Dan Pierce · 8 April 2008, 01:03 AM

It's growing on me but the price would play a big part in it's desirability. Love all the useful functions in one watch. A more subtle and rotating bezel would help.

Ok for me.

Isn't that what I said in my post! I like this watch alot. But it all rides on the price. Any ideal how much? Jim

Dalton · 8 April 2008, 03:05 AM

i like it. i'm sure it will all be okay if the price is right

Ironstark · 8 April 2008, 03:57 AM

The MSRP is 1975 euros. There are three dial choices, Black, Gun metal and Silver, all with the red etc.. sub dials.
It is a 7754 movt.

Overkill · 8 April 2008, 04:17 AM

I like that it combines the functions of the Daytona and the GMT-Master, along with the date. If only the dial was a bit more simple and classic looking, rather than so modern.

Gil F. · 8 April 2008, 06:35 AM

Meh. Doesn't do anything for me. Dial is too busy for my taste.

bwalkerVintage · 8 April 2008, 06:37 AM

I like the looks of it. Thanks for posting Ironstark!

I think the price would be a bit higher than that of chronograph and aeronaut due to its addtional function (both chronograph and GMT) as well as its larger size (43mm!) .... Hmmm the price for chronograph and aeronaut is around some USD 2.2K and USD 2.7K in HK and china respectively .... wish the price for this new beautiful tudor iconaut is below USD 3.5K ....

BTW, I am a die hard fan of MC ....

MAC4130 · 9 April 2008, 12:03 AM

Quick stupid question, I am not very familiar with Tudor, how is it related to Rolex?
Thanks and sorry!

Damn you Bagel!

I'm still waiting to receive my "big block" back from my watchmaker.

And those Tudor chrono beauties don't help!

Miguel,
Tudor is a low priced brand made by Rolex. Older models utilise Rolex oyster cases, crowns, and bracelets with off the shelf and modified Swiss movements. In recent years Tudor designers have moved away from the Rolex appearance to make their watches more unique.
Vintage Tudors displaying the Rolex acutriments are the models that have/ and will increase in value.
Hope this helps,
dP

Tudor has some great offerings..

But since they don't import to the USA, they're really not on my radar. Sounds like their pricing is getting right up tlhere with their big brother..
