Have yet to see either in person. I actually like the way the fast rider looks personally. However what really matters is which one do you like the most.

Got to examine the Fastrider firsthand while in Milan last week. Very nice indeed. Like the Heritage chrono my already high expectations were exceeded. Excellent fit and finish.




Since I frequently require a second time zone and prefer screw down pushers I lean toward the Heritage.


However, the Fastrider sure made me question the need for another cool Tudor chrono.

If it where the Ducati red fastrider I would take it over the Heritage. If not the red version, the Heritage would get my vote. We are talking apples and oranges here, both exceptional timepieces.

No, both the AD in Portofino and Milan said the new Tudors should arrive by the end of June. Neither had the Heritage chrono either. They said sales were brisk for the THC.

Thanks for the pics!
Love the racing stripe and the vintage look. Specifically the bezel. (orange hand are sexy too)
This would be a YES for me. The more I read about Tudor the more they make sense.
Off topic but....:
So Cosmograph is ONLY used by Rolex? Tudor uses Chrono?
