The vertical striping on the dial adds depth, while the 'Big Date' complication at 12 o'clock serves as a technical centerpiece, providing a clear, high-contrast readout.

Age Estimate
Circa 2018-present. This movement and dial configuration were introduced at Baselworld 2018.
Cultural Significance
Represents Tudor's move toward independence from ETA movements across their entire catalog. It bridges the gap between the brand's tool-watch reputation and the high-elegance sector traditionally dominated by Rolex.
Condition Notes
Based on the image, the watch appears to be in Excellent/Mint condition. Polished surfaces are sharp, the gold shows no significant oxidation, and the crystal is clear. Lume on the hands appears intact.
Value Estimate
MSRP approximately $5,000 - $5,500. Secondary market value typically ranges from $3,200 to $4,200 depending on box/papers and gold weight vs. steel versions.
Care & Maintenance
Recommended service interval is 5-10 years. Because it has a screw-down crown, it is highly dust-resistant, but gaskets should be pressure tested every 2 years if worn near water. Keep away from strong magnetic fields despite the silicon hairspring.
