do tudor watches hold their value

My list will be endless if I begin to mention the number of items that lose their value immediately after they are bought. From a set of blinds to an expensive ride, these items are capable of diminishing in value faster than you think. It’s a normal phenomenon. Some pricey items just don’t hold as much value as when they were initially bought.

But is it the same for Tudor Watches?

As a watch enthusiast, my preference is set on high-end timepieces that scream luxury and can be potential investments. But the truth is that after a certain period, some of these wristwatches lose their money’s worth, or it might take an exceedingly long time for me to gain profits on my watches as an investor. 

In determining whether a watch would retain or lose its value, everything boils down to the rate of supply and demand of the particular watch model. Brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe would rarely lose their value because the very high market demand is at play. When it comes to Tudor watches, they mostly retain their value, but some models do so less than others.

About Tudor Watches

The Tudor brand is popularly known for its luxurious feel and is loved by watch enthusiasts across the world. The watches are known to feature top functionality, excellent craftsmanship, and also great quality. I would not expect anything less since Tudor was created by the best-known luxury watchmaker and father of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf.

In 1926, a Swiss watchmaker known as Veuve de Philippe Hüther came up with the name “The Tudor”. That same year, Hans Wilsdorf purchased the exclusive rights to the name, and it allowed him to develop the brand from that point. 

The first set of Tudor-signed watches was released in 1932 and was sent to the Australian market. They featured rectangular-shaped faces, and some also had the Rolex name on the dial alongside the Tudor signature. After World War II, Hans created Tudor’s manufacturing company called the “Montres TUDOR S.A.” in 1946.

Thereafter, Tudor became a sister company to Rolex and has always benefited from its relationship with Rolex. Hans decided to create a luxurious but equally affordable wristwatch for people in the military and professional divers. So, between the early 1960s to 1980s, the watchmaker sold Tudor watches to military agencies, including the French Marine Nationale and the US Navy, who began issuing Tudor watches like the Submariners to their divers. 

These timepieces include the brand’s first-ever Rolex-influenced  “Oyster collection”, which features a waterproof Oyster case. Over time, Tudor introduced other features like the “Big Crown” and “Snowflake hands” into the Submariner watch line.

Various watch enthusiasts are in awe of Tudor watches due to their quality and luxurious delivery. On top of this, the timepieces are also affordable. I mean, a Rolex can feature intricate designs and bear lots of unique characteristics, no doubt. But I know that a luxurious Rolex watch will cost me a lot of money. 

On the other hand, Tudor watches tick off the luxurious box, the quality box, and the inexpensive box also. I choose to buy a Tudor watch because I will be getting the full package and, at the same time, without breaking the bank.

If I want to purchase one, I can own a Black Bay 54 that retails around $3,850 on the market. This water-resistant and modern iteration of the Tudor Submariner boasts a quality stainless steel body, a polished satin accent, and a light feel to it, alongside many more features.

What Makes Luxury Watches Hold Their Value?

At first glance, I would think of purchasing an affluent watch that only catches my fancy. But on second thought, I cannot help but also factor in whether the timepiece can be a source of investment for me also. I mean, in the end, it will be a win-win, right?

However, when I buy wristwatches solely because I admire them, it would lessen my pain by the time I want to sell them, and I realize that they have lost their worth after using them for years. The truth is, not all watches retain their money’s worth after a long period which can be disappointing.

But some still do, and if I purchase them, I will gain either the same value or a slightly higher profit. It is a given that some watches hold their value better than others due to varying quality, prices, supply, and demand. Although no one can accurately predict the future prices of things, there are a few things to consider when buying a luxurious watch that might hold its estimated worth for years to come.

Brand Heritage

If a watch’s worth is mostly determined by how trendy it is and how it is mostly requested by consumers, then it is highly advantageous to start by purchasing fashionable and most sought-after brands. What I mean by this is buying wristwatches from brands that have consistently been preferred over time as opposed to those that are trending at the moment.

Brands like this include Rolex, which is no doubt the King of all timepieces. Rolex has existed since time immemorial and is popularly known both in and out of the watch industry, especially for its fancy timepieces. I am certain that if I approach a random person who knows nothing about watches to mention a watch brand, they will definitely mention Rolex. This shows how widely-known the brand is.

Now, the fact that Rolex has built a name for itself in the market is mainly what helps the brand to make more sales. I highly doubt that you would find a lot of Rolex models that have lost their economic worth- that’s if you would even find any. Similarly, watch brands like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet are popularly known brands that also retain most, if not all, of their original market price. 

I know for a fact that these two brands are the go-to watch investments for most people. Other older brands created over a hundred years ago, like Jaeger-LeCoultre, OMEGA, and IWC, among many others, have all built trust with customers.

Hence, I would not think twice before buying a wristwatch that was created by these brands. In essence, a brand’s heritage determines the possibility of a watch’s value retainment. So, the longer a brand has existed, the more likelihood that the worth of its timepieces will not diminish.

Iconic Watch Designs

In my opinion, a classy watch is mostly determined by how intricate and iconic its designs are. For various watch enthusiasts, unique designs, artistry, and out-of-the-world skillfulness featured on a timepiece are among the things that determine the value of such a piece.

Personally, I like spontaneity and never-before-seen wristwatches because such pieces elude more opulence. These pieces are usually rare, which makes them worth so much more. Hence, watches that are unique in their designs and very rare are known to hold their value retention well enough.

In fact, they can even increase in value as the years pass. Examples are watches that feature dial colors not normally inculcated in the watch by the watchmaker and bear designs that are only peculiar to the timepieces. A Vianney Halter Deep Space Tourbillon is a perfect example of a piece with an uncommon but beautiful design that will forever be valuable.

Material

Another thing to consider is the material from which a watch was made. A watch that is created from quality materials or worthy precious metals, like pure gold or platinum, will be valuable in the watch industry and also outside the industry.

I know for a fact that gold will always be worth a lot. So, if I buy a Yellow gold Rolex Daytona, I can rest assured that I will get my money’s worth once I sell it because of the gold material it is made of. 

Also, a timepiece made out of materials that are trending at the time it is about to be sold will be deemed valuable. The material will still be considered fashionable and will attract a lot of potential customers. Therefore, I can make a profit from selling such a timepiece.

Availability

When I hear the word limited edition, the watch that comes to mind is the Vacheron Constantin Chronometer Royal timepiece. This watch is notorious for being one of the least common, perhaps even the most-uncommon watch the world has ever known. Due to its rarity, such watches will never diminish in value.

The fact is that there are quite a few watches that are so rare that no one knows how many of them were produced. In this case, the Vacheron has only been seen once during an auction and is a highly limited edition. 

Another is the Cartier Crash watch, of which only four pieces in total have been manufactured. Its unique design, which features a look similar to a cloth worn by historic desert travelers, makes it stand out. Watches like these are definitely going to always increase in value and will never diminish.

Do Tudor Watches Hold Their Value?

Generally, Tudor watches are not known to increase in value, but they do have some value retention. This is because, in the first place, they are not very pricey. Some Tudor models have also been proven to be valuable even after purchase. 

An example is the Heritage Black Bay wristwatch line. This piece is one of Tudor’s most sought-after models, and it has been doing pretty great as regards value retention. The collection has seen various models over the years, which have all been recognized as highly valuable. 

Models under the Heritage Black Bay line, including the Black Bay 58, the standard Black Bay, and the Black Bay GMT watches, are notable pieces that have been a success when it comes to being worthy after a while. 

The demand for the Black Bay 58, which costs around $3,700, is very high. This is most likely due to its features that entail a vintage-inspired dive watch design, great proportions, and excellent specifications. As a timepiece that is highly requested, its value will at least not decrease as time passes.

It is, however, important to note that compared to other Tudor watch models, no watch has ever been worthy over time like the Pelagos. This model is also popular among watch enthusiasts due to its classy appearance, the quality of materials used in creating it, and its durability. Now, this watch ticks off more of the boxes than other Tudor models when it comes to the qualifications a watch must meet to gain the ability to retain its value.

Its attractive features speak for it and have given it easy access to being recognized as the best diver’s watch that the brand offers. Due to this, its status on the market will also increase. This gives the Pelagos an edge over other Tudor models in being eligible for potential investments. Therefore, compared to other Tudor watch models, the Tudor Pelagos has been recognized as a watch model that still holds its value after purchase.

Do Tudor Watches Appreciate In Value?

The fact that a Black Bay 58 holds value after some time does not mean that it is automatically the best form of investment.

While this may not be the case with all luxury watches, as some of them appreciate a lot in value over time, Tudor watches tend to not appreciate in value as much, compared to brands like its sister company Rolex, a brand that is known to always have value retention and also appreciates in value. 

But it does not mean that I would not be able to resell my Tudor watch. Looking at its top-notch quality, anyone would want to buy an affordable wristwatch that also bears the same high-end features that Rolex has.

Well, I know I would. In that regard, a Tudor watch can be a good investment because I will be able to sell it for a significant price.

Which Tudor Watches Hold Value?

If you’re worried about a Tudor watch holding its value over time, then you’ll want to look into several specific models. A lot of what makes their value stand the test of time is the mechanical quality and brand reputation. The ties to Rolex definitely help here, and I would say Tudor’s a great choice if reselling is a part of your decision-making process.

A few Tudor watches that are known to hold their value include several Black Bay models, such as the Fifty-Eight and Chromo, for example. I would give the same sentiment toward Pelagos. Their titanium build and impressive water resistance make them quite viable for the long term.

You’ll also want to consider limited edition or even discontinued models. For me, the Heritage Chrono and Black Bay Bronze are what come to mind here. In short, Tudor has plenty of watches that hold their value. While some of this comes down to the watch quality itself, how you take care of your timepiece matters just as much. 

The brand’s steady market growth and in-house movement craftsmanship will always play a part in long-term value. For the most part, you don’t have to worry about rapid depreciation with Tudor watches.

What About Vintage Tudor Watches?

As I have previously emphasized, Tudor watches have existed for quite some time. Since its initiation, it has produced an array of different lavish timepieces, some of which are now vintage. The demand for vintage Tudor watches has increased over time which is not surprising.

This is because their value has doubled, and they have also proven to be highly durable. Some of these vintage Tudor models that are now in high demand include the oldest Chronograph models, the Tudor Submariner References, the Tiger model, the Oyster Prince series, and the Big Block, amongst many others.

Many watch collectors have aimed to grab these vintage pieces whenever they find them because they are becoming harder to find, especially in good shape. 

But I remember that these vintage timepieces were very common amongst people in the military due to their waterproof features. Its strap was also suggested and supplied by the military back when Hans Wilsdorf began to create Tudor watches.

Hence, a Tudor Submariner Marine Nationale has notably doubled in value and is one of the most purchased Tudor vintage watches. The Marine Nationale, which has the initials “M.N” at the back of its case, goes hot at $22,000.

Another expensive vintage Tudor timepiece can also be the Oyster Prince series, especially the Oysterdate. This model was among the first ever Tudor watches to be released and is quite similar to the “Datejust” watch by Rolex. When I think of a simple yet elegant timepiece, the Oysterdate comes to mind because of its classic design and historical beauty. Tudor vintage pieces are the real definition of the phrase “old but gold.”

Conclusion

It is safe to say that Tudor watches can be classified as classic, exceptional, and luxurious timepieces, and they hold their value. I would not set my mind towards gaining double the price at which I purchased it or expect a huge value appreciation over the years, but, overall, Tudor watches are great luxury-wise that hold their value.

12 Best Watches Under $20,000 (For ALL Your Needs!)

William Boyd

July 21, 2023

Maybe you’ve always thought owning a decent watch with a high price tag isn’t for someone at your wage level. You probably already know that owning a quality watch is a meaningful investment that may turn into a family heirloom or a rite of passage, but alas! You’ve been buying knock-off watches every year!

Come on! A timepiece is way more than a time-telling machine and is worth splurging on. Just as family matriarchs sometimes pass down treasured items, high-end watches have an inherent value that can be passed down to future generations.

bot-only-imagebot-only-image

But there’s a common crisis we all go through once we’ve made up our minds to seal the deal and pay for the watch we always wanted. A second dilemma. Which brand? Which design? Which material?

Getting a luxury watch is a major life decision, and the weight of responsibility to get it right often rests solely on the shoulders of the potential buyer, but hey, we are here to help!

Whether you’re marking a personal milestone or you’ve set some money aside to finally bring home your horological love, here are 12 exciting, exclusive, and extravagant timepieces under $20,000.

What To Look For In Watches Under $20,000.

High-end watches are a class of their own, and they are called Haute Horlogerie for a reason. Their very raison d’être has always been to catch the eye of top collectors, and they come with features to back this claim.

It is important to consider a few points before purchasing one because of their premium price tag and because getting one is an emotional investment. That said, here are a few points to consider before making that payment.

1. Watch Purpose

Beyond time telling, a watch is (and will always be) an intricate piece of hardware that expresses our personality. Watches come with intriguing features aside from telling the time, and these additions are called complications.

There are various complications designed to serve different purposes, so you should decide which is best for you. The most common include a tourbillon, a Day-Date complication, a moon phase, a perpetual calendar, an annual calendar, and a chronograph, which measures elapsed time and GMT. 

People who travel across many countries for business or leisure will find this world time function necessary. Again there are ‘tool’ watches which are a great option for daily wear and can easily be taken along rugged and even aquatic adventures. And dress watches which are versatile everyday timepieces for formal and informal occasions.

2. Brand Reputation

While most high-end watches from recognized brands with premium prices are designed and crafted to outlast their owners, not all proffer a statement of power and prestige. Certain watch manufacturers enjoy a global reputation for consistently delivering high-quality timepieces.

It is best to buy a watch from a reputable watchmaker if you want your timepiece to stand the test of time and convey a distinctive fashion flair.

A luxury watch is an enduring symbol of taste and class, and some of the big names like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, and Blancpain have secured their places as world leaders in haute horlogerie.

3. Build Quality & Finishing

The build quality and finishing are just some of the major factors you should consider when getting your luxury timepiece.

The build quality generally depends on how well the watch was constructed and designed, including the state of the machinery. You should inspect the watch you plan to purchase for defects, scratches, dents, and/or any imperfections on the case, crown, buckle, strap, dial, etc.

The finishing entails the last-minute touches given to the internal and external components of the watch. Watches with exquisite shine and smoothness represent the ultimate expression of the fine craft of watchmaking.

Be sure to buy your watch from an official brand retailer to get the right quality and official packaging with a warranty.

4. Movement

The movement of a watch is the internal mechanism or engine that drives it. It is what makes the functions and complications operate, and a good movement (or caliber) will keep time reliably. Mechanical, automatic, and quartz are the three primary types of watch movement.

High-quality movements are sometimes hand-made or hand finished and polished; the best movements are COSC-chronometer certified. To attain this, the movement must pass various stringent tests over a 15-day period and fall between – 4 and + 6 seconds.

Bad movements can lose significant minutes per day and have inconsistent tick speeds, so be sure to go for a reliable movement from a reputable brand.

5. Value Retention

Certain watches make for excellent investment pieces. Buying and selling high-end watches can be a minefield of disappointing slopes for the untrained, which is why you must secure your investment by selecting watches that hold their value.

Many timepieces out there plummet in value the second they are unboxed, while others can be sold after some years for a profit under the right circumstances.

Some factors that lead to watches holding value include; brand recognition, heritage, exclusivity, availability, celebrity/movie affinity, and demand. Watches from prestigious brands like Rolex are known to retain their value and make for great investment pieces.

Remember to have your timepiece checked by a qualified professional about every five years and service it whenever advised to avoid expensive damages.

The 12 Best Watches Under $20,000

1. Rolex GMT Master II (ref. 126710BLNR)

Rolex GMT Master II (ref. 126710BLNR)

Starting this list is none other than an iconic timepiece from the King of Haute Horology. Some misguided enthusiasts consider Rolex watches as nothing more than a status symbol that gained popularity only because they are extravagant timepieces destined to end up in fiercely guarded private collections.

How ignorant! Rolex became so popular in the first place because each watch from the Swiss Marque is hand-assembled, hand-tested, and offers incredibly high quality and longevity. 

Rolex’s raison d’être appears to be to break world records every single time, a feat they have largely accomplished since they began manufacturing avant-garde timepieces in 1905. The GMT Master II collection is part of the brand’s professional watch collection, with a lineup of robust timepieces that displays the time in two different time zones simultaneously.

The Ref. 126710BLNR is the pinnacle of the collector’s dream timepiece and is presented on a 40mm Oystersteel case with a height of 12.5mm in line with the rest of the collection. The case is entirely satin-brushed with a screw-down Triplock crown that ensures 100 meters of water resistance. The bezel is a 24-hour GMT that combines black and blue Cerachrom flawlessly. 

The watch features the same gloss black found on contemporary professional Rolex models and is powered by the new in-house manufacture caliber 3285. Expect to spend around $17,000 in the secondary market for a like-new piece.

2. Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Blue 44mm (ref. 421.NX.5170.RX)

Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Blue 44mm (ref. 421.NX.5170.RX)

Founded in 1980 by Carlo Crocco, Hublot’s obsession with unusual materials has revolutionized the watchmaking universe. Amidst the wide array of big and bold timepieces, the Big Bang Unico Titanium stands out and can best be expressed as the epitome of “more is more.”

The unique watch is presented in a 44 mm satin-finished and polished titanium case which obviously would be overwhelming on a small wrist. Despite the size, the watch is substantially light thanks to the use of high-quality grade 5 titanium which also offers high corrosion resistance and retains a slightly bluish metallic sheen when polished.

The matte blue skeletonized dial is pretty busy at first glance but, trust me, after wearing it for a few days, it won’t appear cluttered in any way. The dial features a 60-minute chronograph at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, we have continuous seconds. If you look closely at the 3 o’clock sub-dial, you’ll find the date subtly positioned within.

Visible from both sides is the caliber HUB1280. Hublot calls it a UNICO manufacture self-winding chronograph flyback movement with a column wheel. The movement consists of 354 components and provides a power reserve of 72 hours. The watch retails for $19,154 on Hublot’s website.

3. Breguet Classique 5157BR/11/9V6

Breguet Classique 5157BR/11/9V6

Breguet is a brand that deserves more attention. The Swiss watchmaker produces some of the most elegant timepieces in the world with such exquisite designs that should make members of royal families and Hollywood A-listers empty their pockets. 

The Breguet Classique 5157BR/11/9V6 is one of those watches that will make anyone turn their head towards your wrist, even if they’re mildly interested in the fine art of watchmaking. The watch seamlessly demonstrates the brand’s “savoir-faire” and is presented in a splendid 38mm 18ct rose gold case with a  slim profile of only 5.45mm.

The watch is all about purity and is extremely clean, simple, and captivating with a 2-hand display. The engine-turned “guilloché” dial is the easiest feature to spot as it steals the show while complimenting the gold case superlatively.

The dial has been kept as pure as possible and features a charming “clous de Paris” pattern in the center. Moving away from the center, you will notice circular brushed surfaces for the hour ring and, lastly, a “pavé de Paris” cobbling to distinguish the indication. The watch is powered by the automatic caliber 502.3 with a 45h power reserve. It retails for approx. $19,850

4. Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Manual-Winding (ref. 81180/000G-9117)

Inspired by the watches of the 1950s, the classic dress watch is an aesthetic and mechanical delight. The dial is elegant, pure, and enchanting, with a flawless minimalist design.

It features slender applied white-gold hour markers, dauphine hands that are mirror polished on one side only, and a graceful Maltese Cross above ‘Vacheron Constantin’.

Expect to spend around $20,000 for the Ref. 81180/000G-9117.

5. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (ref. 5015-1130-52)

Blancpain is one of the oldest surviving brands, with roots dating back to 1735. The brand is known for producing classically styled timepieces with avant-garde technicalities. Exploring the depths of the diver’s history and evolution is impossible without talking about Blancpain.

The Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms is widely recognized as the first dive watch. And whether we like it or not, Blancpain belongs in the Hall of Fame, next to legendary brands like Rolex and Omega. Fifty Fathoms, one of the earliest creations of the innovative brand, has remained an iconic and successful diving watch since its introduction in the 1950s.

Like many groundbreaking inventions, the Fifty Fathoms was born out of necessity. It was adopted by military diving units worldwide immediately after its launch and became an essential part of many divers’ kits. The Ref. 5015-1130-52 continues the outstanding legacy of its predecessors and is presented in a 45mm stainless steel case with a height of 15.5mm.

The matte black dial keeps the spirit of the Fifty Fathoms alive by remaining highly legible and uncluttered. The watch is powered by the Caliber 1315, an automatic movement with 120 hours of power reserve. It retails for approximately $16,000.

6. Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar (ref. 1-90-02-11-35-61)

Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar (ref. 1-90-02-11-35-61)

The Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar Ref. 1-90-02-11-35-61 is an elegant, clean, and poetic timepiece with immaculate aesthetics and clear graphics.

Inspired by high-end antique pocket watches, the case, which is made of 18-carat red gold, is exquisite and striking with juxtaposed polished and satin-brushed surfaces and strongly curved lugs. 

Turning the watch over will reveal a sapphire exhibition case back which offers a splendid view of the self-winding movement within the timepiece. The Calibre 90-02 is a beautifully refined in-house movement that can store about 42 hours of energy when fully wound. It features a large date, off-centered hours and minutes, a small second, and a moon phase indication.

The movement features nicely chamfered angles, highly polished steel parts, and thermally blued screws. The brand’s iconic “Duplex Swan Neck Regulator” heightens its appeal and includes hand-engraved balance cocks. 

The dial is what you’d expect from a distinctly German Maison with superlative watchmaking craftsmanship. It is perfectly structured and looks quite balanced and uncluttered despite the numerous indications it hosts. The watch sells for $10,000 and is fitted with a blue alligator leather strap.

7. Grand Seiko Sport Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary Limited Edition SBGC229

Launched at BaselWorld in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Nissan GT-R, the SBGC229 is just one of the ways Grand Seiko chose to express its DNA. The statement piece feels innately automotive and is dressed in “Bayside Blue”, from the GT-R’s iconic blue color.

The case is made up of high-intensity titanium and Grand Seiko’s blue ceramic. It measures 46.4mm in diameter with a thickness of 16.2mm and a lug-to-lug of 52.5mm. Ceramic has been used for the outer case only (including the bezel) since ceramic is highly scratch-resistant, while titanium is used on the inside.

The white crocodile strap is also a fitting tribute to Nissan’s classic sports car, with blue stitching that is in perfect aesthetic harmony with the blue of the case. The silvery-white textured dial has a grained surface with dark blue accents.

The dial is busy and houses totalizers for hours and minutes, a date window at 3:00, an inner and outer ring (each representing 30 seconds), the typical Spring Drive power reserve indicator, and expertly finished hour indices and handset. The watch retails for $21,000 and is powered by the Spring Drive 9R96, rated to be accurate to +/- 0.5 seconds per day. 

8. Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 “Ed White” (ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001)

The Calibre 321 is the holy grail of the Speedy collection and was incredibly well-received when it was introduced in 2019. Designed by Lemania’s Albert Piguet, the resurrected legendary caliber 321 is the same one found in the pre-moon references. What’s more, this revered movement is what powered the 145.012, which was worn by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon.

It is named “Ed White” because it pays respect to Astronaut Ed White, an aeronautical engineer and the first American to walk in space in 1965. During the Gemini IV space flight mission, Ed was equipped with the Speedmaster 105.003.

The Ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001 honors this legend and comes in a stainless steel case that measures a fitting 39.7 mm across. The case is identical to the vintage model and features classic straight lugs and an unprotected crown flanked by two pushers. The matte black dial has a fine grainy texture and a ‘step’ profile, which means the minute track sits lower than the rest of the dial.

There are three recessed chronograph registers at 3, 6, and 9, showing off the running seconds, elapsed hours, and elapsed minutes, respectively. The timepiece is limited in production each year and sells for $14,100.

9. Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox (ref. Q903818J)

Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox (ref. Q903818J)

Jaeger-LeCoultre is a watchmaker with nearly 200 years of innovation and creativity pushing horology’s boundaries. The Swiss luxury watch brand was founded by Antoine LeCoultre and is famous for Its complete in-house manufacturing process.

All of its watches are of very high quality and are crafted to perfection with meticulous attention to detail. The Polaris Mariner Memovox pays tribute to the Memovox sports watches of the 1950s, whose built-in alarm was an extremely practical feature.

Memovox is a combination of two Latin words, ‘memor’, and ‘vox’, literally meaning “the voice of memory”. The alarm timepieces activated an acoustic signal to alert divers when to resurface divers after a defined time.

The Ref. Q903818J displays the epic characters of this prestigious lineage and comes in a 42mm stainless steel case. The case features a splendid mix of brushed and polished surfaces with three crowns.

The watch is water-resistant up to 300 meters and adheres to the ISO 6425 standard. As a professional dive watch, the dial is highly legible, with the hands, numerals, and hour markers all treated with two colors of Super-LumiNova. It is powered by JLC’s automatic caliber 956 with 44 hours of power reserve. This watch sells for $ 19,300 on the brand’s website.

10. H. Moser & Cie Heritage Dual Time (ref. 8809-1200)

H. Moser & Cie Heritage Dual Time (ref. 8809-1200)

Founded by Heinrich Moser in 1828, H. Moser & Cie is a luxury watch brand that has built a reputation for producing exceptional timepieces. All of its watches have consistently demonstrated quality craftsmanship and mechanisms of the highest standard.

The watch features a 42mm round stainless steel case with wire lugs and a large onion crown that bears a resemblance to the iconic pilot watches of the 1920s.

As its name states, the watch displays two time zones simultaneously. There is a third skeletonized hand similar in length to the hour hand for the dual time zone function. The main hand is sword-shaped, and both have a generous application of Super-LumiNova.

The burgundy fumé dial with sunburst pattern is enchanting and is adorned with applied Arabic numerals crafted from a ceramic-based material known as Globolight. Visible through the sapphire case back is the in-house HMC 809 self-winding caliber that provides 72 hours of power reserve. The watch costs about $20,000.

11. Panerai Submersible Bronzo (ref. PAM00968)

Panerai Submersible Bronzo (ref. PAM00968)

Bronze, an alloy of copper and pure tin, is a metal with tough properties widely used in the marine field. Apart from being highly resistant to saltwater corrosion, it is also fairly scratch-resistant and is known to acquire a stable oxidized layer after some time.

The oxidation layer preserves its structural integrity and gives it a warm and beautiful patina as time goes on. The patina-friendly material is a favorite choice for dive watches, and Panerai was the brand that sparked the bronze mania.

The Submersible Bronzo Ref. PAM00968 carries on the legacy of its predecessors and is presented in a 47mm bronze case which, according to Panerai, comprises 161 grams of heavy metal for modern heroes only.

The case of the watch features a patented classic bridge device that can be seen protecting the winding crown. This focus of the brown dial is on simplicity and legibility, and as with all Panerai dive watches, it does not disappoint.

There are bold luminous hour markers and dots, a small seconds indication at 9 o’clock, and a neat date window at 3 o’clock. The watch is powered by the in-house P.9010 caliber with a 72-hour power reserve. It is rated water-resistant to 300 meters and is priced at $17,500.

12. Bell & Ross BR-X1 Black Titanium (ref. BRX1-CE-TI-BLC)

Bell & Ross BR-X1 Black Titanium (ref. BRX1-CE-TI-BLC)

Presented in a 45mm grade-5 titanium case, the Ref. BRX1-CE-TI-BLC from Bell & Ross is a timepiece that made waves during its launch at Baselworld six years ago. The square case design is eccentric, with a round bezel and ergonomically-constructed rocker pushers with rubber inserts.

Resting above the skeletonized movement is a transparent sapphire plate used as the dial. It features a 30-minute counter at 9 o’clock for elapsed chronograph minutes and indexes of the running second, printed directly on the sapphire disc at 3 o’clock. There is an applied track on the periphery and a logo and inscription below 12, all printed in gun-metal silver color.

A small aperture for the date lies nearly at six o’clock, while the hours and minutes are indicated by metal applique Super-LumiNova-filled indices. The watch is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters and comes mounted on a woven black rubber. Expect to spend around $18,000 for a new piece.

What to Look for in Watches Under $10,000

When you’re looking for a new watch under $10,000, there are several important things to consider. All of these factors should play a role as you carefully decide on your next timepiece.

Watch Purpose

Of course, the actual purpose of this watch is definitely something to keep in mind. Will it be a versatile piece that can do it all? Or will it have a specific purpose, like for formal situations or diving? 

Some collectors have a watch for every situation, while others have found peace with the perfect one-watch collection. Add pieces to your collection until you feel you’ve covered everything you want your watches to do. 

Brand Reputation

When you purchase a watch, you become a part of that brand’s exclusive club. You can proudly tell others that, yes, you own a Seiko, a Rolex, an Omega, or any other brand. Brand reputation matters for someone looking to fulfill their own personal requirements of what makes a watch brand amazing. The brand also affects how others perceive your watch. 

Build Quality & Finishing

Without a doubt, the build quality and finishing need to be top-notch for every watch that you are considering. Your money should be spent on something you know will last and look marvelous for a long time. At a certain point, superb build quality and finishing are to be expected and not just a nice bonus on a watch.

Movement

The movement is the lifeblood of every watch. Depending on the budget, movements can range from popular, mass-produced ones to high-end, in-house masterpieces. These movements will power the watch and must be carefully taken care of. Regular maintenance and servicing will inevitably be a part of owning a timepiece. The right movement will be both functional and beautiful to behold. 

Value Retention

Value retention, or how well a watch can keep its perceived value, is an important factor to consider for investment-minded people. Some people are thrilled with their timepieces and don’t pay attention to market performance.

However, some enthusiasts greatly care about the perceived market value of their watch. In this case, hot and popular models from established brands may be the best choice for these individuals.

Another reference to mountain climbing is the seven red dots on the globes. These dots represent the seven highest mountains of each continent in the world.

TAG Heuer isn’t like other Swiss watch brands in many ways. It is easy to segment the heavy hitters and lightweight brands in the world of Horology but not TAG Heuer. Collectors do not view the brand in the league of Rolex, Patek Philippe, or Vacheron Constantin, nor is it categorized with brands like Swatch, Tissot, and Citizen.

For over 150 years, TAG Heuer has distinguished itself from the rest by focusing on the motorsport niche and manufacturing valuable tools, earning a world-famous status and a cult following.

Its signature materials and craftsmanship can be read in the brand’s motto, ” Swiss Avant-garde since 1860”. TAG stands for Techniques D’avant Garde, and this statement holds for the brand. Not only is TAG Heuer known to manufacture Haute Horlogerie timepieces, but It also has entire departments devoted to producing these highly innovative watches. 

The company is headquartered in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland but also functions in three other production sites. Quality practices are strictly adhered to, and all TAG Heuer watches are put together in a carefully controlled environment where the air is filtered. 

The design process is also superlative as 3D modeling of the watch’s exterior is often carried out to give the timepiece a realistic look that showcases the materials used in designing the watch in detail. High-quality texturing and ground-breaking pad printing machines are utilized to apply different colors to the dial’s surface, making all of them very enthralling.

The TAG Heuer Monaco and the TAG Heuer Carrera are the most popular and best-selling collections that have gained cult status among TAG Heuer enthusiasts because of their sporty and avant-garde designs.

TAG Heuer also produces smartwatches. In 2015, the TAG Heuer Connected was launched at BaselWorld. The timepiece runs on the Android Wear operating system and brings its application, allowing you to customize the face of the smartwatch. 

Fashion doesn’t have to take a toll on the planet and the eco-friendly brand has been ahead of the game with its sustainability initiatives. Every year, TAG Heuer promotes sustainable practices in its manufacturing process that reduces waste and energy consumption. 

Remnants of brass from milling and machining are recycled and solar energy is utilized whenever possible to reduce their carbon emissions. The brand also has a long history of supporting conservation projects.

Watch enthusiasts recognize TAG Heuer as a brand with tons of Haute Horlogerie timepieces and very precise chronographs with superior performance and accuracy.

The release of the Mikrograph; a mechanical chronograph that is five times more accurate than other chronograph watches earned it the respect of sports lovers all over the world.

In the collector community, there has been an increasing appreciation for the brand’s chronographs, and its watches hold a special place in the hearts of racing fans all over the world.   

The History Of Tag Heuer

The story of TAG Heuer begins in 1860 with Edouard Heuer establishing his eponymous watch manufacturing company, Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG in St-Imier, Switzerland. Back then, it was only named Heuer and he spent the first 20 years establishing a reputation and acquiring unique patents.

Some of them include his first crown-operated winding system for pocket watches, his first chronograph,  an “oscillating pinion”, and his first dashboard chronograph, which he patented in 1869, 1882, 1887, and 1911 respectively.

Edouard Heuer passed away in 1892 and Jules-Edouard and Charles-Auguste, his sons, took over from where he left off. At this time, Heuer was becoming very famous for producing chronographs, and by 1914, their first wrist-worn chronograph was released. 

Two years after its launch, the “Mikrograph”, believed to be introduced by Charles-Auguste, hit the market. The Mikrograph was the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second and was quickly followed by the “Semikrograph”, another stopwatch that provided a split-second function and 1/50 of a second timing. 

The company continued to expand rapidly over the next few years, fueled by its partnership with Henri Freund & Bros. who specifically sold out Heuer watches in America. Due to the accuracy of its productions, Heuer established a strong reputation and relationship with the world of sports.

In 1933, the “Autavia” (taken from “AUTos” and “AVIAtion”) was introduced. It was a dashboard timer used for automobiles and aviation, and from 1935 onwards, many superlative chronographs were launched. Through the early 1940s, for instance, the brand manufactured accurate and durable chronographs for pilots, known as “Flieger” chronographs.

As a result of these iconic patented inventions, Heuer was designated official timekeeper for the Olympic Games for many years. Their watches continued to be highly popular among automobile racers throughout the 1950s to 1970s, so much so that it’s hard to find a picture of Formula 1 or GT racing from that period in which Heuer’s logo is entirely absent.

The company became a leading producer of stopwatches and timing equipment and its split-second pocket chronographs were selected as the official stopwatches for various games. In 1962, John Glenn wore Heuer’s stopwatch as he piloted the Mercury-Atlas 6 spacecraft on the first US-crewed space flight to orbit the Earth.

The Quartz Crisis of the 1970s forced the company to go up for sale leading to the acquisition of Heuer in 1985. TAG (Techniques d’Avant Garde), producers of high-tech equipment for Formula One cars, acquired the brand, and that was when the name changed to TAG Heuer

Right before the new millennium, TAG Heuer was acquired by LVMH. This measure would allow enough capital to be pumped in to revive the brand’s leading-edge technologies and avant-garde designs.

Today, TAG Heuer offers a wide range of exceptional timepieces that reveal the very essence of Swiss watchmaking expertise. 

The brand is known across the globe for combining high standards with bold aesthetics in the production of contemporary watches. It has stayed true to its commitment to the world of sport, particularly motor racing. It has adorned the wrists of many famous people including Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Chris Hemsworth.

Are TAG Heuer Watches Good?

Through innovation, precision, and ingenuity, TAG Heuer has gained widespread popularity thanks to its credible and reliable timepieces that are not just ‘good’ but elegant, sporty, and stylish. 

TAG Heuer’s engineers have engraved the brand’s history on chronograph innovation. The brand is known to utilize materials from the motorsport and aerospace industries, reaffirming its motto, “Avant-Garde since 1860”.

From producing the most iconic self-winding chronographs ever to maintaining the de facto standard of the racing world through the 1960s, TAG Heuer watches are good for many reasons. Apart from offering excellent value-for-money timepieces, they also devote years to designing and constructing complex watches.

Here are 5 reasons why TAG Heuer watches are good.

Historic Swiss Watch Brand

Swiss watches are synonymous with high quality, precision pedigree, and luxury. Just as the Germans are lauded for producing the best cars in the world, Switzerland has the image of Haute Horology artisanal craftsmanship, commitment to superior quality, and a distinguished history.

TAG Heuer is a Swiss watch brand that persisted in mastering fine watchmaking despite a long and challenging journey. The brand has long pursued horological innovation and has shown utmost dedication to its careers in timekeeping excellence.

When you wear a TAG Heuer watch on your wrist, you are putting on over one hundred and fifty years of fine watchmaking tradition, and that is something that cannot be replicated.

If you purchase a TAG Heuer watch, you should be at peace knowing that it is made up of high-quality components and will last for generations to come.

TAG Heuer also uses cutting-edge materials, so all of its watches are least likely to fade over time and less susceptible to wear and tear. Many watch enthusiasts do not only buy TAG Heuer’s watches due to their prestige but because of the care that goes into their production too. 

A lot of TAG Heuer’s ambassadors include A-list models, top actors, and world-class athletes, who epitomize this exclusive picture of high prestige, quality, and luxury. From the likes of Ryan Gosling to Tommy Fleetwood, TAG Heuer is a Swiss watch brand that epitomizes luxury in the world of Horology. 

Swiss watches will forever be the epitome of exquisite craftsmanship, revered in the world of Horology. TAG Heuer continues to uphold the great traditions and expertise of Swiss haute horlogerie, backed by a rich history, groundbreaking innovations, precision, and artistry.

Wide Variety Of Models

TAG Heuer boasts legendary watch models across different collections. The brand has always prided itself on producing high-quality chronograph watches at affordable prices. However, since the release of the first wrist chronograph in 1914, TAG Heuer has been steadily expanding its iconic watch collections with timepieces that boast elegant designs inspired by classics from TAG Heuer’s long history of innovation.

The watchmaker’s catalog can be divided into six main collections. The first, also the most popular, is the 1960s-inspired TAG Heuer Carrera collection, which has been available worldwide since 1963.

The Carrera is also home to various chronographs, high-end timepieces with skeletonization or intricate decorations, and automatic three-hand watches with a date display. It is also home to exquisite models that feature titanium and ceramic cases with diamond-set bezels.

The square-shaped TAG Heuer Monaco is next and is a world-famous historical model put in the spotlight by Steve McQueen after he wore one in the film “Le Mans.” Many of the watches found here bear a strong resemblance to their iconic predecessor, the very first Monaco from 1969. 

TAG Heuer’s motor-racing-inspired collection, Formula 1, represents the entry point into the world of the brand’s Horological prowess. The collection is also packed with bold watches for adventurers who dare to live life at full speed. 

There is also the TAG Heuer Autavia collection with elegant watches and special-edition pieces for collectors. Then you have the Aquaracer, Link, and Connected collections, which all contain affordable, robust, and ultra-functional timepieces.

Affordable Luxury Swiss Watches

Every Swiss watchmaker works hard to maintain the prestigious “Swiss-made” reputation, which is synonymous with exclusivity, outstanding quality, status, accuracy, and prestige. 

This comes at a price which is why many Swiss-made timepieces command higher prices than those made elsewhere. TAG Heuer is one of the few Swiss watch manufacturers to offer highly accurate and durable watches at the more affordable end of the luxury watch spectrum. 

Iconic Watch Designs

For over 150 years, TAG Heuer has distinguished itself from other brands by releasing exquisitely designed timepieces with timeless elegance. All of its watches are the product of extensive research, precision, and artistry. 

That being said, the brand offers a vast array of iconic pieces, from sporty models with contemporary designs to highly-skeletonized and futuristic dials in a wide variety of colors. 

Whether you want a casual/downright playful timepiece or love the charm of classic watches but desire a touch of modern design, TAG Heuer has got you covered.

Great In-House Movements

A movement is considered to be “in-house” if the caliber is developed and manufactured by the watch company rather than outsourced to another company.

In 2010, TAG Heuer produced its first in-house chronograph movement, the Caliber 1887. Since then, the brand has demonstrated commitment to the innovative traditions of haute horlogerie by designing and constructing complex movements with multiple complications. 

One such is a COSC-certified movement, the caliber Heuer 02, with an accuracy rating of -3/+5 Seconds per day and 80 hours of power reserve.

20 watches with pulsometer

With the advancement in technology, watches have become more than just a timepiece. They now come equipped with various features that cater to different needs and requirements. One such feature is the pulsometer, a specialized scale that allows the wearer to measure their heart rate. 

A pulsometer is a must-have feature for medical professionals, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts who need to monitor their heart rates regularly. 

bot-only-imagebot-only-image

In this article, we will explore some of the top watches with a pulsometer currently on the market. We will look at the different styles, features, and prices of these watches to help you make an informed decision when choosing the perfect watch for your needs.

We will cover a range of brands and models, including luxury watches from high-end brands, as well as more affordable options, such as microbrands, that offer great value for money. From classic designs to more modern and futuristic styles, there is a pulsometer watch for everyone.

About the Pulsometer Complication

In the early 19th century, physicians began using a pulsometer to measure a patient’s heart rate. This device consisted of a small clock with a second hand that would be started when the physician began counting the patient’s pulse.

The physician would then stop the clock after a predetermined number of seconds had elapsed, and the number of ticks on the clock’s second hand would indicate the patient’s heart rate. Watchmakers soon realized that they could incorporate this function into their timepieces by adding a pulsometer scale to the watch’s dial.

The scale typically consists of markings that indicate the number of heartbeats per minute, along with a chronograph function that can be used to time the pulse. Patek Philippe made one of the earliest examples of a watch with a pulsometer scale in the late 1800s.

This watch featured a white enamel dial with black Arabic numerals and a red pulsometer scale. Other watchmakers soon followed suit, and by the early 20th century, pulsometer watches were popular among doctors and other medical professionals.

In addition to their medical applications, pulsometer watches were also prized for their aesthetic appeal. The combination of a sleek, elegant watch with a useful medical function made these timepieces highly desirable among collectors.

Today, several high-end watchmakers still produce pulsometer watches, including Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Jaeger-LeCoultre. These watches typically feature a chronograph function with a pulsometer scale on the dial and other advanced features, such as a tachymeter scale for measuring speed or a moon phase indicator. 

What Is The Purpose of Watches With a Pulsometer?

Watches with pulsometers serve a very specific purpose: measuring a person’s heart rate. This is a useful feature for athletes, doctors, and anyone who needs to keep track of their heart rate for health or fitness reasons. For athletes, a pulsometer watch can help them monitor their heart rate during exercise.

By timing their pulse using the watch’s chronograph function and pulsometer scale, they can ensure they stay within their target heart rate zone for optimal training results. This can help them avoid overexertion or under-exertion and ensure they get the most out of their workouts.

For doctors and other medical professionals, a pulsometer watch can be a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating patients. By measuring a patient’s heart rate with the watch’s chronograph and pulsometer scale, they can quickly and easily determine if the patient’s heart rate is too high or too low.

This can help them identify potential health problems and take appropriate action to treat them. Watches with pulsometers can also be useful for people monitoring their heart health for medical reasons.

For example, someone with a heart condition may need to monitor their heart rate regularly to ensure it stays within a specific range. A pulsometer watch can make this process much easier and more convenient than using a separate pulse measurement device.
