Tudor Prince Date-Day

It is no secret that the popularity of the Tudor brand is reaching stratospheric levels as of late. After decades of neglect by collectors, Rolex's sibling brand has caught on in an epic fashion. Vintage Tudor timepieces have similarly ‘caught on’ and many nearly-forgotten wristwatches have been pulled from sock drawers and brought back into the well-deserved limelight. While the greatest attention is being paid to the sports models such as the ‘snowflake’ Submariner and Monte Carlo Chronographs, there are also a number of superb casual and formal dress pieces being ‘found’ and brought back to life. Such is also the case for Tudor's neo-vintage offerings. Take this timepiece, a Reference 94510, for example — Tudor's answer to the Rolex Day-Date — offering a robust movement and a complication the Crown never offered in stainless steel. It features a 35mm stainless steel Oyster case with holey lugs, a sunburst silver Tritium dial with applied baton indices with a matching handset, a Spanish day wheel, a robust and proven automatic-winding ETA movement within, and a matching stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed blade clasp. This awesome neo-vintage Tudor blurs the line between an all-out dress piece and a daily wearer, a combination that makes it an extremely attractive alternative to the more common — and expensive — Rolex option. In short, this is one of those cases in which a timepiece is worth way more than the sum of its parts!
