1926

The Tudor 1926 brings a quieter sort of detail to the wrist: an embossed dial, alternating Arabic numerals and arrow-shaped hour markers, and slender leaf-shaped hands. It is a broad dress-leaning family rather than a single watch, with proportions ranging from the compact 1926 28mm to the considerably larger 1926 41mm.

Introduced in 2018, the collection takes its name from the year Tudor’s name was registered. The 1926 36mm and 1926 39mm sit between those extremes, retaining the same basic dial vocabulary and date window at three. Steel and steel-and-rose-gold versions give that design distinctly different moods, while the seven-row bracelet adds a finer-grained texture alongside the polished bezel. These are automatic watches throughout, but the family does not share one universal caliber.

The later 1926 Luna takes the collection in a different direction, adding a moon-phase display at six o’clock in a 39mm case. That complication is the clearest dividing line between the original date-only models and the newer branch: the familiar restrained layout now has a small celestial scene beneath the hands.
