Icon5 Question:Tudor and The GMT

I know the earlier Tudors were very similar to Rolexes so I'm wondering, did Tudor ever produce a GMT model?

If they did, has anyone got any model names or pictures they could share?
If they didn't, does anyone know why not?


Thanks in advance.

I really think the Tudor line is in need of a revamp, possibly with the introduction of a GMT model. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that most TRF members consider only vintage or older (10-20 years old) Tudors collectible and not the present or newer range. And the reason is that these newer watches while being of good quality are perhaps not attractive or appealing enough. Am I right?

With the Tudor Iconaut you have a Chronograph GMT with a date wheel. And it comes in a white, black or grey dial

I know what you mean, but IMO it was the revamp that was the problem, while seeking their own identity they're trying to be too funky & the current line-up does nothing for me at all.

Tudor needs a retro-vamp

Agreed.
The only thing close to a vintage Tudor GMT is the 79170 chrono with the 12 hour bidirectional bezel. Not a 24 hour GMT but as close as it gets. With all the Rolex variations produced by Tudor in the past I'm surprised a GMT wasn't released.
